Why Pinós

The exact point where two paths cross.

The official topographic base of the Institut Cartogràfic i Geològic de Catalunya records, within the municipality of Pinós, the place name "Geographic centre of Catalonia (Rosa dels Vents)". It is not a slogan: it is a point on the map with coordinates.

A ride that passes through the centre of Catalonia and fits whole in a single day. Start and finish in the village, and the route all around.
