Since several years Girona has been a magnet for cyclists. The city breathes cycling and there is a buzzing cycling community.
Since several years Girona has attracted the attention of many cyclists from all over the world. It all started with professionals like Lance Armstrong and George Hincapie who ´discovered´ Girona as being a perfect place to stay during their European race season, giving birth to the cycling community of Girona.
They found it to be the perfect base because of a variety of reasons. For example, the very good connections by road, plane, and train to the rest of Europe, the possibilities to train, the beauty of the city, the friendly people, and the good food.
Word spread through the professional peloton and shortly after not only many other riders but also teams started to use Girona as their starting point.
In recent years the cycling community in Girona has grown. And this is not without reason! The Costa Brava region is simply the perfect place to ride your bike with the most beautiful road and
off road cycling routes of Girona. The city of Girona is the perfect place to start exploring, a starting point which will perfectly suit your next cycling holiday.
The variety of good roads, the beautiful ancient towns and small villages, combined with stunning nature, great food and friendly people is a mix hardly found anywhere else. And the local people and the town are aware of the cycling relevance for Girona. Most people still respect cyclists on the road, and you can find many cycling friendly shops, coffee bars and restaurants.
