If you love cycling, you should include the Costa Brava and the Girona Pyrenees in your annual training and competition calendar.
Imagine travelling through an almost infinite network of tracks, mountain trails and country roads, where tranquillity is your travelling companion. A destination which is Made for cycling, perfect for training throughout the year thanks to the mild climate, and where first-class gastronomy is another ally for regaining your energy and getting back out on your bike.
This place actually exists, and its charm goes beyond the picture-perfect landscapes. The true essence of the Costa Brava and the Girona Pyrenees as a sports paradise is its powerful cycling community, where amateur and professional athletes comfortably share the routes. It’s nothing out of the ordinary to travel through the city of Girona or along the roads of the Costa Brava and enjoy a few metres on your bike with members of the professional peloton. This is our magic!

This community and its deep-rooted passion for cycling in the territory allow a whole series of sports competitions to take place that each year bring together thousands of participants, including world champions of various disciplines and international figures.

The wide variety of competitions welcomes the most experienced cyclists, but also those of you who are looking to increase your kilometres. From the Girona stages of the Volta a Catalunya to international meetings such as The Traka and the Sea Otter Europe Costa Brava-Girona bike festival, all of them members of international UCI circuits, but also prestigious independent circuits such as the Gravel Earth Series.
