Guided Bike Ride During Blossoming in Aitona

Context The guided bike ride during blossoming in Aitona takes place across the agricultural landscape of Segrià, where in late February and March, peach, apricot, and pear trees blanket the countryside in delicate pink and white blossoms. The 8 to 13 km route is adjusted weekly to showcase peak bloom, combining paved roads and rural trails with a total elevation gain of approximately 50 meters. The air fills with the sweet, fresh scent of flowering fruit trees as spring sunlight bathes the landscape in golden hues.

The experience The tour begins at the Utxesa Information Point, where you’ll receive your bike and safety equipment. You’ll ride with a local guide who shares insights into regional agriculture and rural traditions. Key stops include the Mirador del Molí for sweeping views of the floral sea, the Ermita de Carrassumada for a cultural pause, and the Embalse de Utxesa to observe the natural surroundings. Peaceful countryside sounds and bird songs accompany the ride, which lasts about two hours.
