THE GIRONA
EXPERIENCE.
Where the world's best cyclists train.
Girona is the spiritual home of pro cycling and a two-wheeled wonderland for any rider. Set between the Pyrenees and the Costa Brava, this is where cycling's biggest names live, train and explore.
For a week in September, you will do the same. Experience the rustic charm of a 17th-century Catalan estate, then explore a unique landscape from the beating heart of Girona's Old Town. Guided by people who share your passion, fuelled by superb local cuisine, good coffee and better roads.
Let us take care of every detail. All you have to do is ride.
"I have ridden in some of the most spectacular places on earth. Nothing prepared me for Catalonia."
