Lloret de Mar - Santa Coloma - Arbúcies - Blanes - Lloret de Mar. Road cycling Catalonia

CB (Costa Brava): Route 11

This is a long loop, starting and finishing in Lloret, taking you up the nearly 35km-long climb up the east side of the Sant Hilari de Sacalm climb. The col, which represents most of the gain of this route, begins in earnest in Angles. Despite being over 20km long, it is gentle, and has a consistent gradient. Once you have crested the col, all that remains is a fun return to Lloret de Mar, consisting of around 35km of descending, and a further 15km of flat seaside pedalling. 

You will find this route and many more in Catalonia, on the Catalan Tourism Board’s map, here: http://act.gencat.cat/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Mapa-guia-Rutes-ENG-baixa.pdf
