Overview

Your Trek Travel guides will meet you at 10:30 AM at the Figueres train station before a short transfer to a charming farmhouse in Perelada. There, you’ll enjoy a relaxed Catalan lunch before your guides fit you to your Checkpoint gravel bike—making sure your ride is perfectly set up for the week ahead. Our first ride begins on quiet dirt roads toward the coast, passing through Roses and climbing to a cliffside perch with sweeping views of the Costa Brava. From there, it’s a stunning descent into the artistic seaside village of Cadaqués, where whitewashed buildings and turquoise waters create a picture-perfect welcome. Unwind, settle into your hotel, and then join us for a traditional Catalan dinner. We’ll toast to new adventures and the unforgettable week to come.

Overview

Today’s ride may be short in length, but it’s mighty. After breakfast, we’ll set off toward El Far, a historic lighthouse perched above the sea. Built in 1864, this whitewashed beacon once guided fishermen and traders along the rugged Costa Brava. Now, it offers one of the most iconic panoramic views of the coastline. We'll earn that view with a rewarding climb—and once at the top, we’ll pause for a well-deserved lunch with a view, right by the lighthouse. Take it all in: the cliffs, the sea, the breeze. This is what gravel riding in Catalonia is all about. From there, we’ll loop back along twisting coastal trails that test your skills and spark your sense of adventure. In the afternoon, we’ll trade pedals for a peek into the surreal: a guided tour of Salvador Dalí’s house in Port Lligat. From the egg-topped rooftop to the artist’s quirky studio, it’s an unforgettable glimpse into the world of one of Spain’s most iconic minds.

Today’s ride from Perelada to Girona offers a gentle gravel route through picturesque Catalan villages, where you’ll find plenty of charm around every bend. As we near Girona, if you're up for a challenge, the climb over Sant Miquel rewards you with sweeping views of the landscape you’ve conquered, followed by an exhilarating descent into town. Tonight, Girona is yours to explore at your own pace. Stroll the vibrant streets, discover local flavors, and soak in the city’s energy – our guides are happy to share their favorite recommendations to make your evening unforgettable.

Overview

Fuel up for a memorable ride as we tackle the gravel edition of a quintessential Girona climb—Els Àngels—and see why this destination is a gravelist's favorite. This route highlights the region’s diverse terrain, from smooth pavement and hard-packed gravel to twisty, technical sections. We’ll start along the flat gravel paths that twist along the Riu Ter, then climb through shaded forest roads on a mix of dirt and pavement to the Sanctuary of Els Àngels—famously the site of Dalí’s wedding. After a scenic lunch with panoramic views of Girona, descend a steep, winding gravel track back to town. Spend the afternoon strolling the medieval walls, visiting the Girona Cathedral, or exploring the Jewish Quarter. Then, join us for dinner at one of our favorite local bistros—good food, great stories, and even better company.

Overview

Start your day with a strong coffee and a hearty breakfast before tackling the queen stage of your trip. Today’s route winds through the quiet Catalan countryside, past stone farmhouses, gentle waterways, and the town of Banyoles, where the 1992 Barcelona Olympic rowing events were held. Refuel with coffee and cake before taking on one of Girona’s most iconic climbs—Rocacorba. This winding 6-mile (10 km) ascent is a true test, but the sweeping views from the summit make every pedal stroke worthwhile. Prefer a steadier ride? Opt for the alternative route over La Mota and its punchy climbs before descending to a well-earned Catalan feast at a charming food truck in Canet d’Adri. End the day with a relaxed spin back into town, then gather tonight for a celebratory dinner to relive an unforgettable week of gravel adventures.

Overview

Bringing to a close such a fun trip is always bittersweet, but we'll make sure to savor every last moment! After a leisurely breakfast with a café cortado, you'll set out on the rural roads to Canet D'Adri, an undiscovered village nestled in the countryside. The perfect morning light will make the gentle climbs and fun, flowing descents an all-around perfect finish to your week. Take your time and enjoy the ride, and look forward to your next adventure with us.
