The Trip
|
Valderrobres – where is it? Check it out on Google-Maps.
Plan your trip to Valderrobres by car with Michelin.
Do you need a car in Valderrobres?
For excursions you'll find in both houses at least four decent bicycles – but unless you are a
bycicle-freak, a car is a must!
Car rentals in Barcelona at the airport or in the city (24 hrs. a day) are your choice.
There is a local bus service, but it is very limited (mornings and evenenings – ckeck the
HIFE-timetable).
Bathing areas are reachable only with your own car, by taxi or by bicycle.
So – anyone who likes bicycling between 15 and 40 kms a day on country roads (a lot of them unpaved) and is
challenged by the climbs will have a great time.
For the rest of us, a car is definitely recommended.
Motorbike?
The area is perfect for nice and curvy rides. If you are not on vacation with your own motorbike,
why not rent one in Barcelone?
 «moto.rent»
rents scooters, megaScooters and a quite wide range of
classics upon special request.
At «Mondo Rent» they offer scooters, megaScooters (up to 530ccm) and 125- and 250-motorbikes.

Not recomended to everybody, but definetely a very special experience is a jourey by
