Puig d'en Ribot

The hinterland of Palamos on the Costa Brava is crisscrossed by trails of varying quality. This route connects some of the longest trails.

Description

The starting point for this tour is La Bisbal d'Empordà, although the route can also be started in the coastal region around Palamos. In this variant, the trail leads steadily uphill from the charming little town on a gravel road. Mountain bike trails can be found on both the left and right sides. For the actual ascent, however, we follow the gravel road to the ridge near Puig d'en Calç. This is where the first single trail descent begins, a fun, flowing yet compact path. This eventually leads to a gravel road that takes you to Puig d'en Ribot. The final meters can be covered on a flowing trail.After Puig d'en Ribot, the route leads along a wide, fast trail along the ridge. After another short climb, we turn left onto the next trail at Puig Cargol. A smooth and fun descent awaits us, which is not too long, but offers great views of the coastal region of Palamos. The trail ends at a gravel road, where the next path begins opposite. However, as this section is heavily eroded and offers little riding pleasure, we follow the gravel road along the mountainside to the left instead. After a short climb, the long, varied descent towards Calonge begins. This is mostly in the "S2 range," but due to erosion, there are regularly more challenging passages. In Calonge, the climb to Coll de la Ganga begins via a small, picturesque country road. At the top of the pass, we turn right onto a gravel road and cross the mountainside to reach the opposite ridge. This is where the highlight of the day begins: an extended and fun single trail descent that ends at the country road, which finally takes us back to La Bisbal d'Empordà.
