Bon Relax: Walking Routes Along the Fluvià and Cycling Tours

If you’re looking for a hotel in Bon Relax, it’s worth first considering which activities you want to shape your stay. The routes described differ in how you travel, their layout, and the landscapes they pass through. The focus is on the Fluvià, a cycling route through apple orchards, and the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà.

Walking Along the River

The official Camí Vell de Can Sopa passes through part of the Bon Relax residential development. On the right bank of the Fluvià, the path follows the river, crosses a wooden bridge, and turns towards the sea. This gives the route a clearly recognizable sequence: a section through the residential development, the riverbank, and a bridge crossing before the change of direction. If you’re looking for a walking route connected to the river, these features help distinguish the Camí Vell from the circular cycling route. Trail conditions may vary, so take the state of the path into account when planning.

Cycle to the Sea

The Itinerari Natural del Fluvià is a circular cycling route that follows the river’s right bank to the sea. After Cal Cristià beach, the route follows a designated cycle path through apple orchards and then away from the Bon Relax residential development. The described route therefore takes in the riverbank, cycle path, and apple-growing landscape. Its circular layout distinguishes this cycling tour from the Camí Vell, which turns towards the sea via the wooden bridge. High water may affect some sections; seasonal restrictions may also affect access. Plan your ride with these conditions in mind and check the route for your intended travel period.

Birdwatching in the Aiguamolls

The “Aiguamolls de l'Empordà i Gola del Fluvià” route is an out-and-back route from Bon Relax and passes through the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà. There are opportunities to observe bird species at various viewing points. The route includes Aguait del Gall Marí at route position 2.2 km and Observatori Pallejà at 2.7 km. These kilometre markers show that the two named observation points are at different locations along the route. As an out-and-back route, it differs from the circular cycling route along the Fluvià, so you can also take the tour’s layout into account when planning your trip. The two stated route positions are 0.5 km apart.

Choosing Routes and Activities

The Associació Recreativa Bon Relax organizes leisure and sports activities and is listed in the 2025–2030 municipal youth plan. When choosing a hotel, you can use the specific activity as your first filter: the Camí Vell offers a riverside walk with a bridge crossing, the Itinerari Natural a circular cycling route, and the route into the Aiguamolls an out-and-back walk with birdwatching.
