Destination
Weather
Costa Brava offers lots of the warm Spanish sun. North of the peninsula, you'll get fresher rides during the spring and autumn months. Make sure you grab your gilet for some wind and rain protection for those unlucky days and bring sun cream for the rest.
Terrain
Costa Brava means 'wild' in Spanish – says a lot already. It's a highly rocky and mountainous terrain that offers some high-quality and diverse riding. You'll be able to see some decent mountain passes and climbs while also finding some pack riding on the winding, limited, flat sections.
Culture
Boasting a relatively unspoiled version of Catalan culture, this area has its own distinctive features that include small fisherman's villages and some seriously good food such as famous anchovies. There are some total gems to visit, like Cadaqués – the birthplace of Salvador Dalí.
