The rides Girona is known for
Rocacorba, the cobbled climbs above the city, and the rolling Catalan countryside form the backbone of any Girona cycling trip. For sea views, the Costa Brava road to Sant Feliu de Guíxols is one of Europe's most scenic rides. Breaks plans stages matched to your fitness — from gentle valley routes to full mountain days.
When to go
March to June and September to October are ideal — mild temperatures, dry roads, and the professionals still in town. Summer is hot and crowded. Winter is quiet but the cols can be cold.
