Costa Brava, Spain Motorcycle Trip
Looking for recommendations for a coastal motorcycle trip from Barcelona up along the Costa Brava. We are going to rent in Barcelona and do six days - obviously planning to spend a lot of coastal time - but definitly want to go a bit inland as well. We are hoping to get some guidance for amazing experiences, places to stay and delicious food spots that are a bit off the beaten path. Would love and GREATLY appreciate any feedback! Thank you!!

Hello! Sorry but I don't understand what you want to do. Are you going to be sleeping 6 days in Barcelona but you also want to visit Girona (Costa Brava)? If so, I recommend you sleep only 2 days in Barcelona and then sleep en route. For example: 1 Girona, 1 Pals (Pals, Peratallada, Begur), 1 Empúries (Empúries, Cadaqués, Castelló d'Empúries), 1 Banyoles (Banyoles, Besalú, Santa Pau).

Can't help with routes but have a look at the app Kurviger, which is aimed at route planning for motorcycles.

1- Barcelona - Girona. Night in Girona. The city deserves it.
Girona
2- Girona - Pals. You can visit the nearby towns of Begur and Peratallada.

3- Pals - Empúries. Apart from the Greek-Roman site, you can visit the towns of Empúries and Castelló d'Empúries.
Empúries
Castelló d'Empúries
4- Empúries - Cadaqués - El Port de la Selva. Cadaqués I only recommend it if it's in low season. In high season it's sometimes a bit cramped. Next to Port de la Selva I highly recommend, and even more so if you go by motorcycle, to go up to the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes.

5- El Port de la Selva - Besalú. On a motorcycle it's worth going up to La Mare de Déu del Mont. It is an hour's drive from Besalú but the road is beautiful and when you get there you have views that reach the sea, Canigó (France), all the Pyrenees, etc. In the sanctuary there is a hostelry. On the way there are the archaeological remains of the Sous monastery that can be freely visited. Nearby there is the beautiful town of Lladó that I also recommend.

6- Besalú - Santa Pau - Banyoles - Barcelona. Banyoles is famous for the lake, but its center is also very pleasant and not very touristy. Or Besalú - Vic - Barcelona.
Santa Pau
Banyoles
In my opinion, this route allows you to know about the territory of Girona, that is, the old part of Catalonia. It's an area rich in heritage and with a good gastronomy.
