From Barcelona Sants and Estació de França, trains depart hourly for Girona. For more information, consult www.renfe.com, Spain's national railway company.
The Girona Train Station and Hotel Nord 1901 are approximately a 15-minute walk through the center of Girona, though taxis are also available for the short ride.

Upon meeting your guides and getting checked into the hotel, come to the bike room ready to ride, and we will ensure you have a great fit for your new bike for the week and give you a few pointers before you head off on a self-guided warm-up ride.
If you will be late for the meeting time or are going to miss it altogether, please inform your guides. If you cannot reach them, please call our hotel, Hotel Nord 1901 (+34 972 41 15 22), and leave a message with your expected arrival time and contact details.

We've reached the middle of the week, and for many Ride Camp guests, that means a free day to travel, sightsee, or just relax by the pool. Of course, you can also choose to ride more.

Girona is chock-full of hidden routes. For those who want to explore the town, feel free to take advantage of a walking tour, or visit one of the many cafes run by ex-pro cyclists. The Girona market is also a popular stop, where you can shop for local breads, produce, cheese, and crafts. Dinner will be together as a group to welcome some new arrivals, share what you've seen, and prepare for the second half of our adventure!
