Girona (Spain) Cycling Tour

Located north of Barcelona, Girona is a cycling paradise known for its quiet country roads and medieval texture, where many world-famous professional cyclists reside and train. The group arriving in Barcelona from Turkey reaches Girona via a short road transfer, where they hop on their bikes to explore the Catalan countryside for several days; the colorful riverside houses and narrow stone streets in the city center serve as the starting point of the tour. The region's cycling culture is so deeply rooted that cyclist-friendly cafes and repair shops are common in the towns.

Route and Region

Routes typically start from the historic city walls in the city center, pass through the oak and cork oak forests of the Les Gavarres hills, and extend to the coastal villages of the Costa Brava and the quiet valleys at the foothills of the Pyrenees. Girona's low-traffic, well-paved country roads are ideal for both long-tempo rides and pleasant coffee breaks; for experienced groups, climbs leading to the lower passes of the Pyrenees can also be added to the program. Daily distances are determined flexibly according to the group's level, and routes are selected from those used by professional teams, with the option to add a short rest break on the Costa Brava coast for those who wish. In the evenings after the ride, there is also the opportunity to taste local Catalan cuisine in the restaurants in the city center.

Seasonal Features

April-June and September-October are the most suitable periods with ideal temperatures and low rainfall. Winter months, thanks to their mild climate, coincide with the training camp period for Northern European cyclists, which keeps the routes lively throughout the year and ensures high road quality.

Who Is It For?

It is suitable for intermediate-to-advanced athletes who want to experience road cycling culture up close and for those who enjoy long-distance riding in quiet rural landscapes. The tour includes flight tickets, Barcelona-Girona transfer, bike rental, support vehicle, tour leader, accommodation, and daily breakfast. It is recommended to confirm the valid passport and necessary visa requirements for Spain, which is located in the Schengen area.
