Spain
Costa Brava Cycling 7 Days
The pine-scented coastal region of Catalonia has long attracted artists (Salvador Dali, among others), writers, and those in search of beauty, tranquility, and inspiration. With its multitude of villages, sunny weather, seaside splendor, art, culture, and gastronomy & wine, this corner of Spain offers everything we look for when traveling. Did we mention the cycling is superb? In fact, many pro teams live and train here when not competing. While most of our routes are more moderate in length and difficulty, avid cyclists will have lots of options should they choose. From Figueres, to Callela de Palafrugell to Girona, we have created an itinerary that shows you the very best of this region.

Hotel San Roc
Calella de Palafrugell
This 3-star boutique hotel boasts sea-view rooms and a great location. It has been in the same family for 3 generations. “Quite simply the hotel has the best position in the most charming resort on the most beautiful and rugged coast on the whole Mediterranean.” Arnold Z, Leeds, England.
*We sometimes use Hotel Trias in Palamos and this is an option if you prefer. Both hotels are comparable, but the road between Callela de Pelafrugell and Palamos can be busy.

Hotel Historic
Girona
Frommers says it best: “This hideaway boutique hotel, often a retreat for Spanish movie stars, is our favourite nest in the area…The inn, which opens onto views of a Gothic-vaulted cathedral, was formed from a 9th century house that incorporates part of a former wall and a 3rd century aqueduct.” |
