RIDE HIGHLIGHTS
Glorious Gravel
The province of Girona is a dream for gravel riders. With its mix of smooth fire roads, quiet forest paths, and stunning climbs, there is something for everyone. You’ll ride terrain that’s fast, fun, and perfectly balanced between challenge and flow.
Ride to GIRONA
Feel the terrain shift from sandy beaches and sea air to forest tracks and farm houses as you head inland towards Girona. The lunch stop at Girona town tops off the superb riding, before heading back to the coast.
Discover Girona
Our day one routes take us right through Girona - a city that lives and breathes cycling. You’ll roll past cobbled lanes, riverside paths, and café-lined streets buzzing with riders from around the world. It’s the perfect mid-ride moment to soak up the energy of Girona before heading back to our tranquil accommodation by the sea.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Accommodation
We’ll stay at the 4* Cap Roig Hotel & Spa, located right by the sea in the heart of the Costa Brava. You can choose between a private single room, shared twin (2 beds) or shared double (1 bed) room.
Bike & Tyre Choice
We recommend running tubeless tyres of 38-45mm with a gravel tread pattern for the faster rolling terrain in the area. Should rain be forecast for the trip, you may wish to consider a grippier tread. There will be some climbs on our routes, which are longer than UK gravel climbs, so a great ratio of at least 1:1 is advised.
Food
Catalan tapas (or “pinxos”) celebrate the region’s rich flavours - smoky cured meats, fresh seafood, artisan cheeses, and vibrant vegetables. Each bite tells a story of tradition and Mediterranean flair, inviting people to connect, share, and savour the experience together All best enjoyed with a glass of local Empordà after a day on the bike.
weather
April is a great month to visit the province of Girona, with comfortable midday temperatures ranging from 16 to 20°C and very little rainfall. The weather is warm enough to ride in short sleeves, and the perfect opportunity to earn your first tan lines of the year.
Terrain
Gravel cycling in Girona comprises smooth, champagne gravel on a big network of greenways, as well as dirt tracks and some chunkier gravel. Our routes will take us on a mix of the terrain in the area so be prepared for a bit of technical riding as well as the smooth stuff. Any technical sections will be short and our guides and a coach will be on hand with hints and tips to develop your skills throughout the weekend.
