We are excited to introduce our new Cultural Experience in Girona, Spain. Catalonia is a region known for its stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture, making it the perfect destination for cyclists with an abundance of incredible riding and cultural events to sample in and around Girona.

You would struggle to find another region of its size in the world with such varied and unique selection of bike routes to choose from. With years of riding in this region, we have designed an epic 7 day Cultural Experience that truly showcases the stunning natural beauty of this region. Every day is a distinct journey to all corners of the Girona province. We wanted to make sure that each day had its very own unique identity, which allows you to view the full spectrum of what Girona has to offer. You will journey through picturesque medieval villages, snake your way along the enchanting coastline of the cap de Creus region, traverse the single tracks through pine scented mountain forests over looking Girona and ride through ancient vineyards to the north in the Emporda wine region.

After an exhilarating day of riding through the rich landscapes of Girona, it's time to relax and unwind in comfortable and welcoming accommodations. We understand the importance of a good night's rest after an active day, which is why we have carefully selected Girona's finest hotel - Hotel Nord 1901.  Nestled in the heart of Girona's old town, Hotel Nord offers luxury accommodation that reflects the charm and character of Girona and is the only hotel in the old town with a pool, where you can cool down after a day out on the tracks! Another reason for choosing Hotel Nord 1901 - Is for their delicious high energy buffet style breakfast to fuel your day ahead.

It would be amiss not to mention the wonderful food and equally spectacular wines of Catalonia. With this all inclusive experience, we would like to take you to sample some of the exceptional food & drink in our favourite authentic Girona restaurants. Allow us to take you to small family run restaurants to indulge in the typical Catalan favourites like - Fideua, (noodle paella) Embotits, (cured meats) Bolets, (Catalan wild mushrooms) Escalivada, (smoky grilled vegetables) Botifarra,(BBQ mountain sausage) Esqueixada, (salt cod & tomato salad) or simple fresh seafood plucked from the Mediterranean sea!
In recent years Catalonia has also seen its wines win international acclaim, not only the more famous D.O regions like Penedes and Priorat but also smaller wineries in Emporda, Costers del Segre and Monsant are recognised among some of the best wines in Spain

But inevitably - the primary take-away from these trips is the genuine camaraderie with fellow riders. Once you’ve been through these shared experiences – you truly establish a special bond with your cycling compadres. We personally believe the highlights are the post ride evenings, sitting around the dinner table, enjoying great local Catalan food & wine and replaying the day’s events with a healthy dose of chatter and humour… there is inevitably always lots of laughter.

Allow us take care of everything – so you can relish these stunning rides, eating beautiful fresh local Catalan food and sharing this unique experience with your fellow riders.

The recipe is very simple – riding through idyllic landscapes with like minded friends, quality ride support & attention, and a generous sampling of the best local food and wine…… what more does anyone need?

Welcome to Catalonia, Spain! Arrival and transfer to luxury accommodation. After checking in to our wonderful hotel, located right in the very heart of Girona's old town - we invite you to join us for a quick coffee spin to loosen those legs up!

Once you have returned to the hotel - unpacked and acclimatised to these wonderful surroundings - we reconvene in the evening at one of Girona's finest eateries for a welcome Catalan dinner! 

After a traditional Catalan breakfast, we set off to explore the delights of the Emporda region. We will ride through some of the fairytale Catalan medieval villages that are scattered throughout the region. Here you will feel like you have stepped back in time, strolling through some of the villages that were used in filming 'Game of Thrones'.  Any one of these magical villages - a perfect stop for lunch before returning to our hotel to wind down. 

Now we can't wait to share with you another of our favourite Girona restaurants for dinner!

Today we transfer north to celebrate Catalan wine in the D.O Emporda wine region. We will ride through roman vineyards and olive groves before stopping at a family run winery for lunch and a wine tasting tour. Heading back in the afternoon to unwind pool side at our Girona hotel, before meeting for another wonderful Girona restaurant dinner. 

Today we explore some more Catalan gems further a field and offer you another dimension to this Catalan diverse landscape, Including a visit to a lesser well known region of Girona. After a morning ride in this rugged area - we will visit a small family run olive oil business owned by an inspirational couple who have won Gold medals in NY, Paris London and Tokyo for their delicious fruity olive oil. 

In Banyoles, the gateway to the Garrotxa volcanic region, we will stop lakeside for some typical Catalan cuisine, before our short journey back to Girona. 

No visit to this region would be complete without seeing the rugged beauty of the Costa Brava coastline. An inspiration for many artists - including Salvador Dali, where the coast features in so many of his surreal masterpieces. And of course - fish and seafood would need to be featured on today’s menu!

Another chapter in our journey must include the mountains. A ride through pine scented forests had to feature on this classic mediterranean adventure. We ride through the Gavarres mountains which surround Girona - a chance to see a different landscape and sample some rustic country home cooked food.

On our final night in Girona - we invite you to join us in our favourite restaurant at one of Girona's best loved restaurants. 

Over our final Catalan breakfast - we say our farewells & ‘salutes’ before arranging onward transfer to Barcelona airport for those that are leaving us straight after this experience. 

Hasta la proxima!
