Summit of Rocacorba (970 masl) or also of Puigsou (991 masl), roof of Gironès. It is reached after a 13.5 km climb, with an average gradient of around 6.5%, with kms above 10.5% and a very intense finish 😅. The views from the summit make the effort worthwhile.

3.8 km from the summit is this house of Roure Gros, or ca la Roser, where you will surprisingly find some chairs, shade... and a fridge full of fresh drinks and fruit!! All for a fair price and good will. Take what you want and leave in the mailbox or by bizum/paypal what it asks for. It is a great help, especially in summer!

Point km 5 of the GIV5247 road which coincides with the 8.5 km sign to the summit of Rocacorba. The challenge begins! 💪🏼

Nice small town with a lot of small bars to have a short stop for a Cortado or another soda. Avoid Wednesdays in the high season because of the local market then. Nice church to visit and a big bridge to cross the river La Fluvia. The village is accessible on any kind of bike.

⛪ Santa Maria de Porqueres – A Romanesque Jewel by Lake Banyoles Perched on a gentle hill on the eastern shore of Lake Banyoles, the Església de Santa Maria de Porqueres is one of Catalonia's finest examples of 12th-century Romanesque architecture. Consecrated in 1182, this single-nave church features a semicircular apse, barrel vault, and intricately sculpted capitals that depict biblical scenes and symbolic motifs. Its façade is adorned with a striking portal, distinguished by 22 carved medallions and a series of arches, making it a standout among Romanesque churches. The church's serene setting, surrounded by cypress trees and overlooking the tranquil waters of the lake, offers a peaceful retreat for visitors. Adjacent to the church stands a comunidor, a small open-sided structure historically used by priests to bless the surrounding lands and protect them from storms. Tip: Easily accessible via cycling routes around Lake Banyoles, this historic site is a perfect stop for those interested in architecture, history, or seeking a moment of reflection amidst nature.
