Girona Gravel
A Gravel Cycling Paradise





Ride gravel in majestic countryside of Spain.
Girona has garnered attention over the past few years as a new cycling mecca – and we can’t wait to share this fantastic place with you. The area gained fame when the many professional riders called Girona home between grand tours like the Tour De France, Giro D’Italia, and Vuelta Espana. The riding is amazing, and you have everything from rugged coastlines along the Costa Brava to farmlands and the foothills of the Pyrenees.
We love Girona for many reasons, but we added this iconic location because guests could easily immerse themselves in Spanish culture in one of Europe’s most beautiful walled cities. Velo Vern, our accommodations, are ideal for exploring the narrow winding streets on foot. Stroll down to Espresso Mafia and The Service Course for a pre or post-ride espresso and take in the vibrant cycling culture that Girona has become.
In 2023 we introduced a road itinerary and are excited to add a gravel option. This trip will cover the roads less traveled and still utilize some of our classic roads from our Girona road itinerary.

BIKE OPTIONS
Rent A Bike
Traveling through the airport with a bike—and paying for it to fly—is not everyone’s idea of a fun way to start a vacation. Fortunately, we offer high-quality, full carbon bikes on all of our trips across the United States and Europe. Want to just show up and ride? Just bring your shoes, pedals, helmet, and saddle (if you want), and rent one of ours.


Bring Your Own
Your bike is yours—we get it. Bringing your own bike has obvious advantages in terms of individual comfort. Before your trip, we suggest getting a tune-up at your local bike shop so it’s ready to roll for your week of riding. Once you arrive, we’ll be sure to have our mechanics build it and help with any necessary tweaks. Check out some helpful resources here:
Skip The Bike
If you or your travel partner want to enjoy the trip and explore a new destination without a bike, drop us a line and we’ll discuss options. Some trips are better suited for non-rider participants than others.
