You push off from a quiet village square and the road opens into farmland and scrub pines, the e‑bike humming under you while stone houses slip by. The route rises and falls through tracks used for centuries, and, in an hour, the Romanesque silhouette of Santa Maria de L'Estela appears on a ridge — a compact hermitage that frames the plain like a lookout.

Charge and check the battery
Confirm the e‑bike battery is fully charged and ask the guide about expected range and backup plans; assistance is limited on remote tracks.
Footwear matters
Wear trail or mountain bike shoes with grippy soles — some descents use loose, rocky tracks where footing counts.
Hydration strategy
Bring at least 1–1.5 L of water and sip regularly; summer heat and exposed sections can dehydrate quickly.
Timing for light and views
Start early for cooler temperatures and clearer vistas; afternoons can bring haze from the coast and stronger winds.
Closed-toe mountain bike shoes
Provide traction on pedals and stability during short off-bike sections.
Light windproof jacket
Protects against coastal breezes and rapid temperature drops on ridges.
spring
