Cycling in Girona & Catalonia
The province of Girona in Catalonia, northern Spain, has a solid reputation as a cycling paradise. A good number of professional Tour cyclists have chosen to call this area home because of its calm roads, little traffic, the superb combination of flat areas and a variety of climbs, its mild climate and great food and wine.
Catalonia boasts a remarkable number of quality cycling routes. With great road surfaces and low traffic, the Girona area offers a flowing succession of scenic landscapes that has all the elements to keep a smile on your face as you pedal away: endless forests, pretty beaches, medieval towns... and even volcanoes! Add to that the fact that some of the best rated restaurants in the world are located in the Girona area, local markets are vibrant and fortunately most destinations for sight-seeing places are not crowded and only bike ride away! |
