Costa Brava's rugged coast, which stretches north from Barcelona to the Spanish–French border, is without a doubt the most beautiful of Spain's three main coastal holiday destinations. The satisfaction levels of cyclists here are unrivalled. The ride's beauty and quality are both excellent. There are a few stretches of coastal road that should be on everyone's bucket list. Even so, you can avoid the traffic and crowds. Costa Brava manages to keep the feel of small fishing villages while offering some seriously good restaurants and accommodations.
Costa Brava has a lot of warm Spanish sun. Fresher rides can be found north of the peninsula during the spring and autumn months. Make sure to bring your gilet for wind and rain protection and sun cream for the rest of the time.
Costa Brava means "wild" in Spanish, which already says a lot. It's a rocky and mountainous terrain with some excellent and diverse riding. There will be some decent mountain passes and climbs, as well as some pack riding on the winding, limited, flat sections.
This area has its own distinct features, such as small fisherman's villages and some seriously good food, such as famous anchovies, and boasts a relatively unspoiled version of Catalan culture. There are some absolute gems to visit, such as Cadaqués, Salvador Dal's birthplace.
You will leave Girona by bike in the morning, heading to the coast to Sant Feliu de Guxols, which has a lovely old town, marina, and beach. S’Agaró, one of the most beautiful towns to cycle in the Costa Brava, is located further along the trail.
Finally, you’ll arrive at Platja d’Aro, which has everything from Roman ruins to hidden coves dotting the coastline.
