Overview

The Grand Tour of ‘Girona & Costa Brava’ begins in the beautiful city of Girona and takes you past many highlights of the Costa Brava and Empordà, one of the most stunning landscapes in Catalonia. The tour can be classified as a relaxed road cycling trip or a more intensive touring holiday. Each day offers you fantastic views. You’ll cycle through both the inland and coastal areas. The landscape changes every few kilometers, so you’ll never be bored. The great variety of landscapes, including medieval villages, small bays, and traditional fishing villages, makes this journey particularly worthwhile! You’ll also cycle through the Cap de Creus National Park and the beautiful old fishing village of Cadaqués, the easternmost peninsula of Spain. This is a moderate route suitable for cyclists of an average level.
