Head inland and you&#8217;ll find quiet country lanes, medieval stone villages and beautiful landscapes best explored at your own pace. And what better way to discover them than by bike?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Pals to Peratallada cycling route is one of our favourite ways to explore this part of the Costa Brava. Connecting two of the Empord\u00e0&#8217;s most beautiful medieval villages, it&#8217;s a great choice for couples, families and groups of friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Pals: Where the Journey Begins<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We start in Pals, one of the area&#8217;s most charming villages. Its cobbled streets, stone archways and viewpoints overlooking the Empord\u00e0 countryside make it well worth exploring before setting off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From Nafent Bikes in Pals, we head out along peaceful country trails, cycling past fields and into the heart of the Empord\u00e0 countryside.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Quiet Trails and Charming Villages<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Between Pals and Peratallada, a network of rural paths takes you through some of the Costa Brava&#8217;s most authentic landscapes. Along the way, you can pass through Palau-sator and Fontclara, two small medieval villages that have preserved their traditional architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The route combines dirt tracks and quiet local roads, winding between fields, traditional farmhouses and picturesque villages. It&#8217;s particularly enjoyable on an e-bike, giving you more time and energy to take in the scenery and stop whenever you feel like it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Peratallada: A Village Worth Exploring<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arriving in Peratallada is one of the highlights of the ride. One of Catalonia&#8217;s most beautiful medieval villages, it&#8217;s known for its narrow streets, historic stone houses and charming little squares.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Park your bike and take some time to wander through the old town, browse local shops or enjoy a drink or something to eat at one of its terraces.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Explore the Medieval Villages with Nafent Bikes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Nafent Bikes, we make it easy to discover this cycling route at your own pace. Rent one of our e-bikes and explore independently, or join a local guide who&#8217;ll show you hidden corners, local stories and some of the most special stops along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to make the experience even better?
