Cycling for the family

Cycling around Canyelles Petites, Cap de Creus and the surrounding area

The promenade of Roses extends from the harbour westwards to Santa Margarita: a distance of about four miles, all on the level and traffic free. The promenade is being extended further towards Canyelles Petites, in stages.

In addition, a cycle route is being built from Roses to Figueres, (14 miles) which is flat and traffic-free.

The promenade ride gives an ideal opportunity for leisurely cycling with great views of the Bay of Roses, and a cycle hire shop, Splai, is ideally situated at the harbour end of Av de Rhode. Prices range from £2.20 (1 hour), £6.20 (half day), £9.30 (1 day) to £31 for 1 week. Splai can be contacted by phone (0034 972 15 18 96) or email splai@racclub.net
