Overview

Complete a cycling exploration through Girona's heart, from ancient citadels to volcanic peaks and idyllic coastlines, where each pedal stroke is an adventure. Your adventure takes you from the architectural marvels of Girona to the serene gravel climbs towards Els Angels, offering panoramic views that capture the essence of the region's allure. The journey then leads you to the dramatic coastlines of the Cap de Creus peninsula and through the charming streets of Cadaqués, a town that has inspired some of Spain's greatest artists. As you pedal through the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park, the lush, green landscapes reveal the volcanic heart of Catalonia, while the historic town of Besalú offers a step back in time with its medieval architecture and iconic bridge. The challenge of the Rocacorba climb awaits, testing your limits and rewarding you with stunning vistas of the surrounding countryside. This cycling odyssey is not just a physical journey but a voyage through history, culture, and the natural beauty of one of Europe's most cherished cycling destinations.
