St Grau 94km
![](gpx/St_Grau_94km.jpg)
Some busy roads but a quick way to get to the coast, see the castle at Tossa de Mar, the coastal road and the famous St Grau climb. It's hot and quite long but there's a flat bit on it.
Hills: 1227m A short climb on the way to Tossa, hilly on the coastal road then a fairly tough 7km climb up St Grau. Easy ride home.
Traffic: Main roads to Tossa but not too bad

The classic coast road loop. 20km of hilly road with the Mediterranean on one side and hills on the other. One of the all-time-greats.
Hills: 1190m Rolling hills at the start then a long descent to Tossa. The coast road is hilly then you have the Bell-Lloc climb before retracing your steps back.

Platja D'Aro 99km

Our favourite loop all year round as it means going to the beach and
Dulce Pikika for cakes.
Hills: 940m Rolling for the first hour then a short climb up La Ganga followed by a swift descent to the beach zone. On the way home you climb Bell-Lloc.

Rocacorba 72km
![](gpx/Rocacorba_72km.jpg)
An iconic climb that many want to try. It isn't that steep, but the road surface in 2023 is a bit broken up and mossy, requiring care on the descent. Don't be a hero as people can and do drop off the edges. There'a great view at the top but no cafe. However around 2km from the top there's a fridge containing cold drinks. Pay at the honesty box. What a great business!
Hills: 1324m - a big one
