Girona means cycling—full stop. It’s where the pros go for pure, world-class riding. If you consider yourself a cyclist, Girona belongs in your portfolio. Long, uninterrupted roads with zero traffic lights, flats that cross the Empordà, gorgeous coastal stretches, and some truly legendary cols—whatever terrain you’re after, Girona delivers.
Girona is like the Champs-Élysées for cyclists: I love checking out gear shops like Velodrom, then grabbing an espresso at La Fábrica. Our new tour also spends two nights at Rocacorba Cycling’s Can Campolier, owned by pro cyclist Ashleigh Moolman Pasio and her husband, former pro triathlete Carl Pasio.
Lately, we’re seeing increased demand for fitness-driven experiences that blend luxury with adventure—exactly what the Costa Brava does best. This region is the ultimate training ground, and with perfect spring conditions, it’s the ideal place to kick off your season. Plus, with the Tour de France’s Grand Départ from Barcelona, 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year for cycling in Spain.
