What Guests are Saying

Trek Travel never disappoints. We celebrated our 20th anniversary in Spain with Trek where we honeymooned 20 years before. It was magical and even better on the bike. We have every intention of celebrating more anniversaries the same way.  Thank you!

One of our best Trek Trips! Costa Brava was a wonderful combination of country and coastal cycling experiences. We loved every day's routes and the new experience of a sailboat day! Our hotels, our guides, and our meals were quite outstanding. We always enjoy sharing a cycling week with fellow enthusiasts.

FAQs

The springtime brings greener hills, with pleasant daytime temperatures (70-80 degrees Fahrenheit) and evening temperatures drop 10-15 degrees cooler. The fall is drier and warmer with daytime temperatures reaching the mid 80s. Costa Brava's northern location means that it can be hit with the odd cold spell or rain shower. Light layers and a waterproof shell are recommended for this bike tour.
