Cycle Marseille to Barcelona

The route threads through medieval towns like Aigues Mortes and Collioure, the latter a quiet bay below the Pyrenees dominated by a château overlooking the sea. Crossing into Spain involves a steady climb over the Banyuls pass before reaching Figueres, home to Salvador Dalí’s theatre-museum. The final days unfold across Catalonia’s rolling hills and archaeological remains at Empuries, ending with a coastal ride through villages such as Peratallada before arriving in Barcelona.

Explore Worldwide runs this small group trip with a steady pace, combining cycling with train and bus transfers. The terrain varies from flat gravel tracks to a notable climb at the border, but there is always room for a swim or a wander in between.
