The Els Angels climb and loop is one of the most famous routes in Girona and we recommend you try this today. It is a favourite of the pros and you might well see them on the roads, and certainly on your Strava segments. Els Angels is a great welcome to Girona too as the route crosses the Les Gavarres mountains twice but the ride is a relatively easy 60km route. You can also, if you want to add some mileage to the ride, follow the 2009 Tour de France route out to Cass de la Selva.
