Girona Spa Experience

The Girona Spa Experience is a tour that will have a custom itinerary arranged to suit the specific needs of our clients! It is available as both a road bike tour or a more relaxed hybrid bike tour. Both options are self-guided with GPS with routes from the spa of varying levels of difficulty. 

Suggested routes for hybrid touring bike:

Day 1: Medieval Villages, 17 mi. (27 km), total climb, 300 m
This ride is our now famous route through the southern Empordà county. Well known as a wine and olive oil-producing area and for its unspoiled tiny hilltop stone villages that dot the landscape. The route is a village-hopping route passing 6 of the finest examples.

Day 2: Vall de Llémena, 18 mi. (29 km), total climb, 391 m
Roll into the Valley North West of Girona called Vall de Llèmena. This is a quiet unspoiled rural area untouched by tourism. The ride takes you through the valley circumnavigating the extinct prehistoric volcano and into the tiny village of Canet d'Adri which is our recommendation for lunch. Return to Girona along the Vall de Llèmena cycle path which delivers you straight into Girona.

Day 3: Girona to Coast, 25 mi. (40 km), total climb, 284 m
Today is a mainly downhill run to the coast following the green-ways path finishing in the fishing village of Sant Feliu de Guixols. This gives you plenty of time to enjoy the beach and perhaps enjoy a dip in the Mediterranean. Then we can collect you and transfer you and your bikes back to Girona

Suggested routes for road bike: 

Day 1: Les Gavarres, 37 mi. (60 km), total climb, 950 m
Perhaps the most famous road ride from Girona, the Els Àngels loop. It is a favorite of many pros and has been mentioned in several well-known books about the area. An enjoyable route, crossing the Les Gavarres mountains twice and following the 2009 Tour de France route out to Cassà de la Selva.

Day 2: Sant Hilari, 64 mi. (102 km), total climb, 1512 m
One of the best-known training rides in the area, the Sant Hilari route is used extensively by the professional Cannondale team and is a highly popular choice for visiting cyclists. The highlight of the ride is the gorgeous, winding mountain climb, up to the village of Sant Hilari Sacalm at 900m. The climb is a lengthy, challenging 25km, however very gradual!

Day 3: Sant Grau, 62 mi. (100 km), total climb, 1421 m
This ride follows the route of the Tour de France, 2009 along the famous coastal road, which is one of the most beautiful sections of road you can experience on a bike. A tough day with plenty of rolling hills, however a ride that must be ticked off when visiting Girona and the Costa Brava. Trust us - you won't regret it!
