Pedaling through the region
Maresme region has all and in abundance. Many coastline kilometers and many green areas hectares. It has almost flat highways and roads and other mountainous ones with many ups and downs. It has asphalt and dirt roads. No one should be surprised then that the Maresme is an ideal region to explore by bicycle, a very pleasant experience.
The Consorci de Promoció Turística Costa del Maresme has just published a catalog on cycle tourism in the region in which we find outings either by road or by mountain bike trails. It must be borne in mind that the Maresme region has been distinguished by the Catalan Tourist Board as a tourist cycle destination.
Sports tourism is increasingly important in the region and, especially, cycling tourism. Our region is ideal for bike lovers since it offers countless routes for all levels and tastes. In the region there are two municipalities, Calella and Santa Susanna, distinguished with the Sports Tourism seal.
In the catalog “Road Cycling, XC Mountain Biking, Leisure Cycle Tourism, Free Ride” we can consult routes for all ages and levels, as well as everything related to this hobby. It also includes specialized services for athletes with specialized accommodation that has services for cyclists that include the sale, rental and repair of bicycles, or a quick cleaning service for clothes. For fans of mountain biking, the Parc del Montnegre i el Corredor, the Serralada Litoral and the Serralada de Marina are ideal destinations. For the most familiar or quiet walks, the paths by the sea or the forest trails are the perfect setting.
