We will leave and head to take the CV-195 highway to Villafranca del Cid, further along the highway towards Morella, which also belongs to the province of Castellon to make a brief visit to the Castle and Walled Town, we will continue towards Vallibona, La Senia and very good roads. with great views, after many kms we came to the Ebro River and Tortosa Municipality of Tarragona that will take us to Gandesa where we can enjoy a good meal because there we have the Sibaritas Restaurant, which is super good in Mediterranean gastronomy, it is a place that If you are close you can't help but stop to eat,
With our bikes refueled and our stomachs ready, we will continue towards Reus and Tarragona, where we will take the highway again, and the toll is also free so we can arrive in Barcelona at an early hour.
Below we have important data on the most significant sites on this route.

Villafranca del Cid is a municipality in the province of Castellón, in the region of Puertos de Morella, in the Valencian Community. It is a town with a great history behind it, which was travelled through by El Cid almost a millennium ago and which has remained in its toponym as a legacy. In addition to its interesting natural surroundings, Villafranca has important buildings and monuments, as well as its popular dry-stone constructions.
The historic centre of Villafranca del Cid shows the lifestyle of yesteryear and how it has been modernised without losing its essence. Strolling through its streets we will find interesting emblazoned houses, such as the Casa de los Peñarroya or the Casa Brusca, where the coats of arms of these important families of the time are still preserved.
Among the most interesting buildings is the church of Santa María Magdalena, a 16th century temple that has undergone numerous alterations and which houses the Parish Museum and gold and silver relics from the 15th century. Attached to the church is the Torre de Conjurar. Just opposite, it is interesting to visit the Museo de Piedra en Seco (Dry Stone Museum), where this fascinating construction technique typical of this area will be explained.
In the Plaza de la Iglesia we can see the old Town Hall, a 13th century palace whose most significant room is the Salón de Sesiones. It now houses the Tourist Office and several exhibition rooms.
About two kilometres from the village stands the Ermita de la Virgen del Llosar, patron saint of the town, which consists of a church, stables and lodgings, among other rooms. It is well worth a visit to enjoy its beautiful natural surroundings.

The textile industry is important, where most of the residents work, with one of the most modern manufacturing plants for stockings and socks in all of Europe. The wood industry is also important.

Aragon
About this region
Aragon ( or , Spanish and Aragonese: Aragón [aɾaˈɣon], Catalan: Aragó [əɾəˈɣo]) is an autonomous community in Spain, coextensive with the medieval Kingdom of Aragon. In northeastern Spain, the Aragonese autonomous community comprises three provinces (from north to south): Huesca, Zaragoza, and Teruel. Its capital is Zaragoza. The current Statute of Autonomy declares Aragon a historic nationality of Spain.
Covering an area of 47720 km2 (18420 sq mi), the region's terrain ranges diversely from permanent glaciers to verdant valleys, rich pasture lands and orchards, through to the arid steppe plains of the central lowlands. Aragon is home to many rivers—most notably, the river Ebro, Spain's largest river in volume, which runs west–east across the entire region through the province of Zaragoza. It is also home to the highest mountains of the Pyrenees.
As of January 2020, the population of Aragon was 1329391, with over half of it living in its capital city, Zaragoza. During the same year, the economy of Aragon generated a GDP of €34687 million, which represents 3.1% of Spain's national GDP, and is currently 6th in per capita production behind Madrid, Basque Country, Navarre, Catalonia and La Rioja.In addition to its three provinces, Aragon is subdivided into 33 comarcas or counties. All comarcas of Aragon have a rich geopolitical and cultural history from its pre-Roman, Celtic and Roman days, four centuries of Islamic rule as Marca Superior of Al-Andalus or kingdom (or taifa) of Saraqusta, as lands that once belonged to the Frankish Marca Hispanica, counties that later formed the Kingdom of Aragon, and eventually the Crown of Aragon.

7 day roundtrip from Girona to Catalonia Andorra and the Pyrenees
The Pyrenees stretch for more than 450 kilometers from the Bay of Biscay in the west to the Cap de Creus on the Mediterranean. The mountain range, with peaks of more than 3000 meters, forms a natural barrier that cuts off the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe. The main ridge of the mountain range also largely forms the state border between France and Spain, while the microstate Andorra lies between these two countries.

Bordering the Pyrenees is Catalonia, the hinterland of Barcelona. No wonder many new models of motorcycles are introduced to the press in Catalonia. There are many great ways to test the new models there. An additional advantage is that it is very quiet! You would almost say 'too quiet' because there is a danger that at some point you will use the entire width of the road, under the guise of 'you won't see oncoming traffic here'.... But let's keep it safe and stay on the right side of the center line.

These seven routes of this collection pass through these beautiful areas. Each and every one of these routes where especially the sides of the tires have a hard time. Whether on the gentle slopes in Catalonia or on the balcony roads in the Gorges in the French Pyrenees, make sure they're excited, because you can bet it's going to be exciting!

A few sights are discussed in the review for each route. These often tell something about the history of the area in which you drive. Fun facts, quite educational. There are also places where you can refuel and where you can drink coffee and/or have lunch. You are completely free to visit these places, you can of course also determine your own points of interest.
But the main thing you probably traveled to this area for is simply driving. And as mentioned above, you are in a true motorcycle paradise where the steering is fantastic!

Each route ends at a hotel. It is of course not an obligation to use these hotels, you can always find another place to stay in the area, that decision is up to you. My experience, however, is that they are all simple but good hotels for a very reasonable price. They are known and can be booked at booking.com.

The routes of these collections:

R01 - Girona to Sant Julia de Loria, 269km
R02 - Sant Julia de Loria to Pierrefitte Nestalas, 290km
R03 - Pierrefitte Nestalas to Barbastro, 291km
R04 - Barbastro to Puig Reig, 266km
R05 - Puig Reig to Figueres, 268km
R06 - Figueres to Quillan, 243km

Have fun driving these routes!
