    I just finished this ride on a gravel pack bike last week .From Andorra down to Girona 3 easy days . At the bottom finished up with gravel. Love dropping down to France from Andorra ,The small Spainish town of Puigcerta ,the climb out of Saint Joan de les abadesses.. The climb out of the center of Andorra was long and slow on a pack bike as the second ski town past alps ,Komoots had me on the ski slope to avoid a tunnel. Going slow seeing the small towns ,riding through little cobbles is planted favorably in my mind for life . Back to South Tyrol next year

    I would likely not be able to complete that ride, or maybe at something like 12kph average and would be broken for a week. But man, those views, those climbs, those descents - I definitely like to at least try some day!
    Thanks for bringing this to us!

    Great video Tristan. I made that Barcelona-Andorra commute last year vía Ponts, La Seu de Urgell, etc, alone... It was something I´ll never forget, it made me appreciate a lot being alone in that vast landscape. Such beautifuls views. The next day I made Andorra-Calaf and took the train... awesome experience... Epic Ride!... Keep it up!

    What’s it cost to rent in Girona - would you say it’s the best place to base yourself?

      It depends what you rent and where - usually places range between €800-1600 for a nice 3 bedroom apartment in the center of town.
