The Grand Tour of Catalonia is a route to get to know, discover, live, taste and enjoy Catalonia by car.
It is a trip and many trips at the same time because each traveler can organize it to their liking, they can use it at their own pace, at any time of the year, and choose from a wide range of experiences to carry out.

A circular route to discover the essence of Catalonia: it connects cultural icons, natural landscapes and food and wine pleasures that define the personality of this land, both in rural and urban areas.
Inspired by the great journeys that began in the mid-19th century, the Grand Tour of Catalonia is a journey of more than 2,000 kilometres, designed to be traveled by motorized vehicle in two ways: on a single 13-day route or in 5 sections, between 5 and 7 stages each.

Sustainable and responsible tourism is one of the relevant axes of this project. It aims to promote knowledge and respect for the territory, its customs and its culture, and to do so in an inclusive way. It seeks to promote the discovery of local life and local products, and encourage respect for the environment.
