Tradition
Cycling is deeply roted in this region: For nearly 100 years traditional races such as the semana-Catalana and the Volta Catalunya have talken place here. The terrific Steep-Coast is the scene of one of the classic stages of the Vuelta de España. Many of the most renowned cyclists have choosen to live and train in Girona: Lance Armstrong, George Hincapie, and Levi Leipheimer.
Alternatives
But the range of possibilities goes far beyond cycling: On rest days you can discover the small coves of the Costa Brava, the medieval center of Girona, the Dalí museum in Figueres, and the cultural metropolis of Barcelona. Here you can find detailled descriptions of the many possibilities for your day off.
The Canigou
On the french side and only 50km / 31 mi from the coastline lies Canigou. With a height of 2784 m / 9134 ft the mountain majestically dominates the landscape of the region — this is where Canigou Cycling is at home.
