Know Before You Go!

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.

Your Trip Need to Knows:

  • Getting off the beaten path means there may be limited services during gravel rides. There may not be traditional restrooms available on some routes, but there will be plenty of trees.
  • While 80% of the routes are on gravel terrain, Day 4 is closer to 60% due to the optional climb up Santa Pellaia and the Today’s route that descends Els Angels on asphalt back to Girona.
  • On some rides, we may opt for a simple picnic-style lunch on the route or a more traditional cafe lunch at or near the end of the ride when we are back in town.
  • When it comes to Spanish cuisine, it’s important to keep in mind that dinners are served late, with reservations beginning at 8:00 PM. But don’t let that discourage you! This is all part of the experience and it only adds to the charm of dining in Spain. Embrace the culture, savor each bite and enjoy the flavors that make Catalan cuisine so amazing!
  • Please note: You may stay at Hotel Ciutat de Girona instead of Nord 1901 on select dates depending on group size.
