What is the Grand Tour of Catalonia?

The Grand Tour of Catalonia is a route to know, discover, live, taste and enjoy Catalonia with your vehicle. It is a journey full of journeys that each traveller can adapt to their needs, organize it as they want, drive along at their own pace, at any time of the year, and choose between a bunch of experiences. The Grand Tour of Catalonia is a circular route to discover Catalonia’s essence. It connects cultural heritage, natural landscapes, and food and wine pleasures, which define this land’s personality, in both cultural and urban environments. Inspired by the great journeys that began in the mid-19th century, the Grand Tour of Catalonia, a route of more than 2,000 kilometres, is conceived to be travelled in two ways by a motorized vehicle: on a 13 days’ single route or in 5 sections of 5 and 7 stages each. Sustainable and responsible tourism is one of the main axes of this project. It aims to promote the territory’s knowledge, as well as respect its traditions and culture in an inclusive manner. It seeks to boost the discovery of local life and products, and to encourage respect for the environment.
Live the emotion of nature, let yourself be carried away by architectural trends, discover different flavours, learn exceptional human stories and enjoy the territory in a sustainable way: Grand Tour of Catalonia, a journey full of journeys.
