Traveling the Girona area of Spain by bicycle is remarkable for its archeological importance as this route visits the famous ruins of Empuries and the ancient Iberian settlement of Ullastret. Other important towns such as La Bisbal d'Emporda with its castle and ceramic tradition are wonderful visits. Figueres, the capital of Alt Emporda has the Dali museum and in Banyoles there is the lake which is the biggest in the region. The Natural Park of the Marshes is an important and protected ornithological site. Arrive in Girona and transfer to your farmhouse to start your cycling tour vacation!

Enjoy charming farmhouse B&B lodging while discovering the many cultural treasures of the Costa Brava. A sunny and warm climate makes this tour possible most of the year. It is very affordable and a good option for families who need varied ride options.

  • Reviewer: Dave located in Baker City, OR U.S.A.
    We have taken 2 cycling trips through this company, one to do the TDF climbs in the Alps and one for the TDF climbs in the Pyrenees. Both were great. These are self guided trips with good directions from the operator. Just got back from the Pyrenees. The cycling was challenging but that's why I went. The accomodations in Argeles were great. Centrally located(most of the climbs started within 1 mile from the hotel), beautiful grounds, extremely hospitable owners, very nice room, great meals [...] I can't say enough good things about the hotel(the Miramont), the owners and the organization of the trip as a whole. A cyclist has to be committed and in shape to do this trip.
