With 1.5 million users a year, this is the most popular via verde (greenway) in Spain. The route starts in Olot with a climb in elevation. Once you have finished your climb, however, you get to enjoy a long descent to the beautiful city of Girona, where you can cycle along the river Ter and also cross the La Garrotxa volcano area. The stretch from Girona to Sant Feliu (the coast) passes through agricultural areas but also regularly through towns. You pass old railway stations that have been converted into bars and restaurants catering to cyclists.
