Tour destination

COSTA BRAVA - CATALONIA

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 great restaurants and accommodation options.

  • Weather

    Catalonia provides a 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.

  • Terrain

    Catalonia is an incredibly rugged region! There aren't many flat locations. Mountains and hills predominate with the Pyrenees marking the northern border. Then there's the ridge along the water's edge. Inland is also surprisingly hilly, including notable locations such as Montserrat Mountain, which is ideal for climbing.

  • Culture

    Catalan culture boasts a huge history as well as its own unique traditions and cuisine. Take the time to discover some authentic Catalan traditions to make your trip to Catalonia even better. And of course, cycling is a big deal here!

Cyclists descending on a road on the Costa Brava in Girona, Spain

El Àngels, Girona

A certain ‘ex’ 7x tour winner regularly rode this route for a tough short workout, but there’s far more than just a test of fitness to be had. Cross the Gavarres mountain massif twice and climb to the chapel where Salvador Dali married. This loop is an ideal intro to Girona road cycling.

Sant Hilari from Girona

For a good day’s challenge, we recommend taking on the Sant Hilari loop. This loop takes you up to the town of Sant Hilari Sacalm, inland from the coast, offering a great quiet alternative in the holiday season.<br /> <br /> If you are in the Girona area, this ride is not to be missed!<br /> <br />
