Overview

Two weeks. Two of Spains best cycling locations! Start in Girona, Europe’s modern cycling capital. Over six days you’ll ride the climbs that define the region: Els Àngels, Rocacorba, Mare de Déu del Mont and the sweeping coastal roads of the Costa Brava. Evenings are spent together in Girona’s old town — sharing Catalan food, local wines and stories from the road. Based at Hotel Carlemany, a short walk from the Eat Sleep Cycle Hub, the week combines serious riding with a strong social rhythm. Then shift south to Málaga for a second chapter that feels distinct yet equally rewarding. The landscape opens up into white villages, limestone gorges and rolling mountain passes. The Axarquía, El Chorro and the Montes de Málaga offer sustained climbing and quiet inland roads that reward consistency and teamwork. Groups roll together, regroup at summits and finish each day stronger than they began. Across both weeks, the experience is anchored by professional guides who manage pacing, support and logistics so the group moves as one.
