Spring in Girona is widely considered one of the best times of year to ride in Europe. The weather is ideal for long days in the saddle, the countryside is green and vibrant, and the roads remain relatively quiet before the peak summer season begins. April delivers cool mornings, sunny afternoons, and perfect climbing temperatures β exactly what you want for big days on smooth Catalan tarmac.
At The Cycling House, Girona has become one of our signature European destinations. It offers a rare combination of world-class riding, rich cycling culture, and a historic setting that makes every ride feel special. We currently have a few remaining spots on our April trips and would love to welcome a handful of riders looking to start their season in Spain.
The Riding
Girona is known for its incredible variety. Within minutes of leaving town, you are on quiet farm roads with rolling terrain, perfect for steady endurance miles. For those who want to climb, iconic ascents like Rocacorba and Els Γngels provide rewarding efforts and panoramic views. Head east to ride toward the Costa Brava, where winding coastal roads overlook the Mediterranean. Each day, we offer multiple route options, allowing guests to choose their mileage and climbing while riding in small groups that match their pace and goals.
Every ride is fully supported. Our guides lead the way, a stocked support van is available along the route, and mechanical assistance is always close by. We handle navigation, planning, and logistics so you can focus on the ride.
The Experience Off the Bike
Our accommodations in Girona are designed specifically for cyclists. Comfortable rooms, inviting common spaces, and secure bike storage create a relaxed home base for the week. After each ride, guests gather to recap the day, enjoy chef-prepared meals, and share a glass of local wine. The atmosphere is welcoming and social without being overwhelming, making it a great fit for solo travelers, couples, and small groups of friends.
Dining is a highlight. Catalonia is known for its food, and our meals reflect the regionβs fresh ingredients and bold flavors. From hearty breakfasts to post-ride lunches and thoughtfully prepared dinners, everything is curated to fuel your riding and elevate the overall experience.
Why April
April strikes the perfect balance. The temperatures are ideal for climbing, the landscapes are at their most colorful, and the cycling community is energized as the European season ramps up. It is a motivating time to ride in a place that has become a training base for professionals and passionate amateurs alike.
If you have been considering a European cycling trip, this is an opportunity to experience Girona at its best. With just a few April spots remaining, now is the time to secure your place and join us in Spain for an unforgettable week on the bike.
