We read the many reviews on Tripadvisor and decided to try it out. We had no problems finding our routes, with our 16-year-old leading the way following the Garmin map, our 13-year-old following close behind and their grandpa loving every minute of the rides. The cycling was the best- lots of variety, riding on dedicated paths and quiet roads through beautiful farmland, across beachfront boardwalks, and through small towns on a dramatic coast. My favorite areas were the medieval towns close to Monells, where we stayed in a fantastic little hotel, and I couldn't get enough of the scenery (or the food)! Everything was very well done, and Lucy was helpful at every step of the journey. A truly great experience for all of us. read less

Notwithstanding that we had only spent a few days with Daniel, we knew we wanted to go back and get the full experience. Daniel was very accomodating, working out a credit with some of the accomodations we had missed out on. This October we were finally able to return to Spain and finish what we started. Daniel created a package to fit our schedule with 5 days of biking and hiking along the Costa Brava. My partner and I are navigationally challenged and opted for the fully guided tour. Daniel and Lucy shared the task of guiding us around for the five days. The accomodations were excellent and varied. The scenery was beautiful. The company was warm and engaging. I would highly recommend Creative Catalonia to anyone contemplating a fun and energizing way of seeing the Catalonian coast and countryside.

We were met by Daniel and Lucy (they are Creative Catalonia) who proved to be both engaging and very knowledgeable. They have lived here for 15 years and have developed a great business. They do self guided and guided tours (ours was guided). They worked with us to create an itinerary that gave us riding challenges, fantastic scenery, perfect accommodation, and great meals.
The bikes were Canyons and did the job very well...no complaints!
I would recommend highly this business for anyone who wants to cycle in Spain. It is a professional outfit with a deep knowledge of Catalonia and how to look after their clients. An easy Five Stars! read less

Daniel, our tour coordinator, was very thorough with maps, Garmin, phone with directions and history of every area we visited. Beautiful beach coves along the Mediterranean Sea, and fascinating medieval village towns inland. Four of us used E Bikes. They were fabulous! We highly recommend Creative Catalonia Bike Holidays and this particular tour. read less

She was prompt and guided us each day on a unique ride around Catalonia. Lucy explained sites, culture and customs of the area. The rides along the ocean were beautiful and when we wanted to do more of the ocean she accommodated our request and modify our route without issue. She and Daniel thought of everything and the hotels were truly top notch. We will definitely be working on another (walking and/or biking) excursion with Lucy and Daniel of Creative Catalonia. Thanks!! read less

I enjoyed the tour even more the second time around, as I witnessed my sisters' gasps of pleasure at every new beautiful sight, and amazement at how smoothly and perfectly everything ran. Yet again Daniel and Lucy's support was priceless, helping us work out route and schedule changes when we ran into nasty weather. The route planning and tracking tools made it extremely easy to navigate. We never got lost for more than a couple hundred meters before we were able to correct ourselves. Catalonia is a great place for biking, with its unsurpassed natural beauty plus world class biking infrastructures. Creative Catalonia gives excellent service. read less
