Go cycling around the Costa Brava

Girona and the Costa Brava are famous among cyclists. And rightly so! Not for nothing have professional cyclists settled here, because of the varied possibilities combined with the pleasant climate.

We have already written an interesting Blog about cycling with an electric or regular bike in the Begur area. You can read it back here.

Of course, for cycling with a road bike, there are challenging roads in the area between Begur – Platja d’Aro and Girona. But you can also do great tours with a gravel bike or an MTB. You don’t have to go to Italy for so-called ‘Strade Bianchi’, as there are also beautiful unpaved roads in the Catalan Emporda that are good for cycling.
Don’t feel like coming up with a route yourself or letting Komoot do the work? Hit the road with cycling guide Menno! He lives in Begur and will organise your tailor-made bike ride. Whether you are untrained, beginner, or very experienced cyclist, Menno has the right tour. With fun stops in between, interesting information about the area and routes you won’t easily find on your own.
