Experience the delights of Girona
Girona Cycling Holiday by Zoe
With its great food, drink and mountains, I always find myself coming back to Girona.... #Lovevelo #LoveCycling #Ridefurther
Road Cycling Through Catalunya
My highlights in Girona
- Girona is gorgeous! It's full of history and culture, you can spend recovery days wandering the medieval town. Explore winding passages and bridges crossing the river Onyar.
- I love the food in Girona!! It is a food lover’s paradise, offering everything from family run gems serving traditional Catalan dishes to Michelin starred fine dining experiences. My favourite spot for a coffee is Espresso Mafia.
- I absolutely love cycling to Rocacorba and Sant Feliu de Guixols when I visit. Both routes offer stunning scenery, rewarding ascents, and a mix of challenging and scenic routes. Think sweeping views, fresh mountain air and steep descents. I love to have an aperol spritz when I get back!
This is a trip based in a single location
I recommend the Hotel Ciutat de Girona & Apartments, it’s where I stay when I go to Girona.
In Girona, I always hire a road bike with DI2 electronic gearing for Rocacorba.
I always opt for a transfer with Love Velo because they are comfortable and quick.
Love Velo has plenty of routes to choose from, I just download them to my bike computer.
Arrive & Depart At Any Time
My usual Girona Itinerary
Day 1
30km total distance
When I arrive in Girona I like to drop my bags at the hotel and go for a flat white at Espresso Mafia, it's my favourite spot for coffee. When I get back to the hotel I change and head out for a warm up ride. We try to get an early night so that we are fresh for the next morning.
Day 2
102km total distance
We wake up and go down to a delicious breakfast at the hotel. Today we've chosen the coastal ride to Sant Feliu de Guixols for the beautiful scenery and the challenging climbs. We spend the day on the winding roads and pass the gorgeous sea views. After a shower and change back at the hotel we head out to Txalaka Girona which serves fantastic Basque food.
Day 3
90km total distance
My favourite ride and day of the trip is usually this one - the Rocacorba. Is it relentless? Yes. Can it be brutal? Yes. Is it the best view when you get to the top and refuel with snacks - you bet! Remember to take enough snacks and water and to take pictures! The breeze on the ascent back down is welcome and I begin to think of all the delicious food I'll have later on. When we get back to the hotel we have a quick shower and rest before heading out in the town for dinner.
Day 4
I like to take it easy on the last day. There are plenty of cycling shops to peruse too, I have to remind myself that I have limited suitcase space! We then head back to the hotel to collect our luggage and catch our transfer to the airport, see you next time Girona!
