Quite roads and beautiful riding

160km ride around Montseny national park. A really nice climb that should be on your bucket list if you are ever in Girona.

Deep in the Gavarres cork oak hills. Rolling terrain on quiet roads through one of Catalonia's least-visited corners.

Short and quiet loop over the Montcal lanes northwest of the city — an easy 25 km leg-stretcher.

Gentle loop west along the Ter valley to Bonmatí via the Mas Llunes lanes. Quiet, mostly flat, ideal first ride in Girona.

114 km and nearly 2,000 m of the best roads within reach of Girona, built for a proper big day out.

The back road to Bracons is one of those climbs that sorts out who trained over winter and who didn't. From Girona you head northwest through Anglès and Amer, passing the Pantà de Susqueda reservoir before the road pitches up through dense forest. The col tops out at 1,257m — not the highest around here, but sustained enough to hurt. On a clear morning the Pyrenees sit on the horizon all the way back down. The descent into the Vall d'en Bas is fast and technical; take the corner onto the factory road wide or you'll be scrubbing speed into the barrier. Loop back via Les Preses and Olot if you want a café stop before the long flat roll home.

Epic full-day road ride to the medieval cliff-top village of Rupit in the Catalan Pre-Pyrenees. Multiple mountain passes, dramatic volcanic landscape of La Garrotxa, and over 3,000m of climbing.

Relaxed road ride through the quiet lanes around Sant Andreu Salou near Girona. Gentle terrain, pretty villages, and a perfect introduction to Catalan cycling. An ideal warm-up or recovery ride.
