A flat easy ride in Girona

After riding up and down mountains and hills, I wanted to ride a very easy flat route today. I was thinking about riding to Cap de Creus, but decided not to. It was becoming a bit late - had I had a flat, I would not have made it to the Llança station before sunset. And I do not fancy cycling in the dark.
River Ter

So instead, I spent some time exploring Empuriabrava. It is an artificial Venice-like maze of canals built on a swamp. The residents have both fancy cars and expensive boats. Some boats are bigger than houses. About 30% of the boats and houses seems to be for sale. The average age of population is over 55 and BMI about 30. Not a place for cyclists. Too many cars.
Empuriabrava
From Empuriabrava I rode to Vilajuiga. Since still had some time before sunset, I rode to Figueres via Peralada. The road C-252 is very nice.
I took a train back from Figueres. 109km, about 4 hours. Average hearth rate 122bpm. Very, very easy pace. And no climbing.
