You've made it to Girona! The historical gem of northern Catalonia, it's a city that has been home to many pro cyclists who the incredible riding and culture have lured in. Today, you'll become acquainted with your group and guides, familiarize yourself and fit your Trek Domane bike with Di2 electronic shifting, and warm up on a short, self-guided ride to spin out your travels. Choosing from one of our classic routes, such as the Serres loop, is a great ride to start with--it's all up to you. Or opt to check in to your hotel room and meet us for dinner at one of our favorite local restaurants to meet the rest of the group and share some stories over a delicious meal.

Before and After Your Trip

before

Before: Girona, Spain

Girona has long enjoyed the reputation for being the richest town in Spain. Founded in the first century BC, it soon became the most important point on the Spanish Via Augusta. Enjoy the reflections of the colorful pastel row houses on the River Onyar before crossing the river and wandering the narrow cobblestone streets of the medieval Jewish quarter. Admire the cathedral from below and then enjoy a 15- minute walk atop the old town walls to get great views of the town.Search out our favourite café, La Fabrica in the old quarter, where local and professional cyclists training in Girona sometimes stop for coffee. We recommend the following accommodations for your post-trip hotel:

after

After: Barcelona, Spain

The Catalonian capital of Barcelona boasts a beautiful coastline; a great diversity of culture, leisure, and shopping; creative, innovative gastronomy; and an avant-garde spirit. Be sure to check out some of the fantastic architecture and art of Antonio Gaudí, such as Sagrada Familia or Parc Guell. The Gothic quarter is the heart of Barcelona’s old town, with narrow cobblestone streets on which Picasso and Miró lived long ago.
