My Girona Highlights

  1. Girona isn’t just any off-road adventure – it’s where winding forest trails, rugged paths and dreamy open vistas come together in one perfectly unpolished package.
  2. Girona’s gravel routes take you from cobbled streets straight into wild Catalonian countryside, with Mediterranean views just a pedal stroke away. It’s all about variety here.
  3. There’s more to Girona than epic rides – it’s the kind of place you’ll want to stay. Off the bike, the city welcomes you with medieval charm and a laid-back vibe that’s perfect for recovery days.
This is a trip based in a single location
Accommodation

I recommend staying anywhere in the city as you can. The Nord 1901 is a cool boutique hotel that welcomes cyclists.

My Recommended Itinerary

  1. Day 1 - Arrive into Girona

    As soon as you arrive in Girona, drop your bags and dive into the city. Wander the cobbled streets, stroll across the River Onyar and treat yourself to some of the best food in Catalonia.

  2. Day 2 - Introduction to Girona's Gravel

    37km total distance

    Today I’d recommend getting accustomed to Girona's gravel with a ride north. Head towards Cornella del Terri before looping round on yourself and coming back into the city from the north east. This is a nice short loop with very little climbing so it will get you well accustomed to your time in Girona.

    Distance: 37km
    Ascent: 300m

  3. Day 3 - Catalonian countryside

    100km total distance

    My favourite gravel ride in Girona is south of the city. You'll head south towards Vilobi d'Onyar before enjoying an incredible loop around the countryside where the Monastery of Sant Pere Cercada proudly sits in the heart of the countryside. From here you'll head back north towards Brunyola across the countryside and back to the city. This is an epic day of smooth gravel.

    Distance: 100km
    Ascent: 1,400m

  4. Day 4 - Lake Banyoles

    65km total distance

    Head north and explore more Catalan gravel before looping back on yourself just before you reach Esponella. From here, you can enjoy the stunning Lake Banyoles. Ride the gravel that surrounds the lake before sipping a coffee on the water's edge and then making your way back to Girona.

    Distance: 65km
    Ascent: 525m

  5. Day 5 - Departure

    I think 4 nights is a great amount of time in Girona so today is check out day for your return airport transfer, or you can lengthen your stay for more adventure.

The Rocacorba climb was superb and you can see the resemblance with Sa Calobra in terms of distance and gradient. Huge thanks to Tom, Mark and Matthew from the Customer Service Team who provided a great friendly service. Highly recommended.
