We suggest that you arrive at least one day prior to the trip start, which will enable you to adjust to the time zone and minimize the risk of missing the trip start due to flight-related delays. We recommend that you fly into Barcelona (BCN) and then take a train to Girona from Barcelona Estació Sants. From Terminal 1, buses depart every 30 minutes for Barcelona Estació Sants or you can take a metro on Line L9, change at Collblanc onto line L5 to go to Barcelona Estació Sants. Outside Terminal 2, trains depart directly for Barcelona Estació Sants. Alternatively, taxis are plentiful from both terminals and operate 24 hours a day. The journey to the train station in the city center will take 20-30 minutes and cost around 35 euros. From Barcelona Estació Sants and Estació de França, trains depart hourly for Girona.

Your Trek Travel host will meet you at the Trek Bicycle store (Carrer Nou 33-35, 17001 Girona) at 11:00 AM on the first day of the trip. The store is just six-minute walk from your hotel. Depending on the number of guests booked for your departure date, it is possible we will ask you to shift your meeting time by approximately 30 minutes. Please have your riding gear readily accessible to avoid having to unpack your luggage. After a trip overview, you may change into your cycling gear where you will then be fitted to your Trek bike ensuring you will be comfortable for the week. Following a safety talk, and a few tips about cycling in the area, you'll set off at your own pace through the roads of Catalonia.
If you will be late for the meeting or are going to miss it altogether, please inform your Trek Travel host. If you cannot reach them, please call our hotel, Hotel Gran Ultonia (+34 972 20 38 50) and leave a message with your expected arrival time and contact details.

Overview
Today don't miss a fabulous ride through pretty towns and dense woodland as you wind your way to Tossa de Mar, a picturesque beach town on the stunning Costa Brava! You'll climb on a quiet road through a dense forest reaching the sanctuary of Sant Grau in the heart of the Ardenya Cadiretes Massif. Take a break in this charming hamlet before descending to a winding road that follows the extraordinary Costa Brava coastline. Pause by the sea for a lunch of your choice in the beach town of Tossa de Mar before riding back to the hotel. If you prefer, extend your loop to Sant Feliu and Romanya de la Selva for a longer option with more climbing. For those wanting a more relaxed ride on quiet, country lanes we recommend the loop ride to the village of Púbol, where you can visit the Castell de Dalí, a gift from the Costa Brava-born artist Salvador Dalí to his wife, Gala. Back at the hotel, take some time to relax or go for an evening drink before choosing your restaurant for dinner.
