Besòs River Promenade

Highlight • Cycleway

Very nice trail for MTB or gravel riding, parallel to the Besós river. You can start cycling along it from the mouth of the river in Sant Adrià de Besòs, where it starts with paved bike lanes up to Montcada and Reixac. From here it continues as a narrow and irregular path across the banks of the Besós river to Mollet del Vallès. And from Mollet it is mostly in the form of a path or wide track up to La Roca del Vallés as you can see in the image.
