Taradell to Barcelona

For the most part, this was a great route to get from where we were staying near Vic to Barcelona. With the exception of maybe a kilometer near the start and a few kilometers along the Riu Bessòs as we neared Barcelona, all was well paved. For the most part, the roads had no road shoulder. I suspect that we would have avoided some of the unpaved sections had we crossed to the east side of the river at Pont de Montcada.

The only sections that had too much traffic were C-59 getting into Sant Feliu de Codines and C-39 descending out of Sant Feliu de Codines, up until we exited C-59 when approaching Caldes de Montbui.

Getting into Barcelona itself, we found an outstanding system of cycling lanes. Better than any other city we've seen...though admittedly, we haven't ridden in the Netherlands since 2001.
