There is plenty for families to do, too, with several hundred kilometres of cycle paths suitable for all ages. Particularly appealing tracks include the 140 kilometres of Greenways, which are mostly flat as they are built on disused railway lines, and the Pirinexus circular loop which links eight counties on either side of the border with France and combines Greenways with cycling routes such as farm tracks or quiet roads.
Those who prefer walking are spoilt for choice, with seven long-distance GR routes over 50 kilometres long, but which can be walked in stages, following old pathways from one village to another. Shorter options are the short-distance PR routes and the local SL paths, parts of the Saint James Way, the footpath network in La Selva and the Baix Empordà regions, and the Itinerànnia network, which goes through the Ripollès, Garrotxa and Alt Empordà, linking up the three regions.
