- Food. The food is to die for! From the huge number of Michelin starred restaurants to incredible local delicacies, Girona is a foodie's dream.
- Home to the Pros. Known as the cycling capital of the world, don't be surprised to see pro teams whizzing past you on the climbs or sipping coffee in the cafes.

Arrive & Depart At Any Time
A Typical Itinerary
Day 1
Arrive in Barcelona or Girona and we will be waiting to take you to the hotel. Check in and relax or explore the wonderful medieval town of Girona. You can pick up your bicycle the day you arrive, located a few hundred meters from a number of great hotels that we use.
Day 2
60km total distance
The Els Angels loop is one of the most famous rides in Girona and we recommend you try this today. It is a favourite of the pros that live and train here. It's a great welcome to Girona too as the route crosses the Les Gavarres mountains twice but the ride is a relatively relaxing 60km route. You can also follow the 2009 Tour de France route out to Cass de la Selva. You know you are at the top when you see a large cross.
Ride the extra 500m to the Santuari of Els Angels where you will be treated to stunning 360 degree views.Day 3
100km total distance
The Sant Hilari route is one the best training rides in the area and is used extensively by the Cannondale pro team. The highlight of the ride is the stunning, snaking mountain climb, up to the Sant Hilari Sacalm, perched on top of the mountain at 900m. The climb is a challenging 25km but the ascent is quite gradual.
Day 4
110km total distance
Today you can ride the Olot loop, one of the longer rides in the area. You will ride over 1,500m of vertical ascent so you will need plenty in your legs.
You will ride into the beautiful Garrotxa region, famous for its volcanoes, but don't panic, they're all now extinct.
Day 5
75km total distance
This ride has been made famous by David Millar and features one of the highest and the most challenging mountains in Girona, the Rocacorba climb.
This climb has gained notoriety in recent years for its relentless, brutal nature. It will certainly challenge you with a steep gradient and long distance. Keep an eye out for professionals who use this ride for training.
