A house set up for cyclists
Your base for riding the Empordà
Ca La Fustereta is a restored building in the centre of Figueres with two holiday homes, and we set it up with travelling cyclists in mind. On the ground floor there is a locked private garage with bike stands, a corner with basic bike tools and a spot to wash the bikes when you get back from your ride.
From the door you are out of town within minutes, rolling along quiet back roads: the plain of vineyards and olive groves, the Cap de Creus climbs above the sea, the Fluvià valley to Besalú or the Dalí Triangle to Cadaqués and Portlligat. And afterwards, the Dalí Theatre-Museum and the Rambla are a five-minute walk away.
We know these roads: ask us which route suits your level, the wind and the time you have.
