Tips from the Community
Small mountain village with quiet streets, stone houses and wide views over the Cadí. It maintains the charm of the old towns of the Pyrenees, with the sound of bells and the smell of firewood in winter. Perfect spot to take a break or load up on water before heading up to the high-altitude slopes. By mountain bike, the access from Arsèguel or Toloriu combines sections of fast track with some short but intense downhill sections. Tip: save some energy, because the exits from the village always go uphill and the views deserve to arrive with air to look at them without rushing.

A jewel of Catalan Romanesque architecture and one of the most impressive in the Pyrenees. Its austere façade, stone cloister and the silence of the interior convey history and serenity in equal parts. Located in the heart of La Seu, surrounded by lively streets, terraces and shops. By mountain bike, it is a perfect cultural stop before or after a route through the Cadí or Segre: there are bike parking spaces nearby and fountains to fill your tank. Tip: avoid peak hours and get there early or at dusk, when the light caresses the stone and the atmosphere is pure charm.

Entertaining climb from La Seu d'Urgell. Fantastic views on the north face of Cadí once we reach Vilanova de Banat.

The Seu de Urgell Cathedral is one of the oldest medieval in Catalonia, dating back to the 9th century. Do not hesitate to dedicate a visit to it because the collection of sculptures, the impressive vault and the set of buildings make up a very interesting experience.

The landscape is impressive and the town even better, just comment that I have received complaints from the locals that since there are some significant unevenness some cyclists pass at high speed through the streets of the town and that bothers them ;-) salut y pedalos
