Costa Brava Bike Tours
Birthplace of Salvador Dalí and gastronomic heartland of Catalonia, Spain’s Costa Brava refers to the region between the city of Girona and the Mediterranean coast. It spans nearly 60 miles south of the French border towards Barcelona, the country’s second largest city. Home to rugged coves and salt-speckled villages, the wild coastline contrasts with a rural hinterland of rolling farmlands and traffic-free roads.
The Costa Brava has long been a cultural crossroads: it was settled by Iberian tribes who arrived from Africa with new farming methods and later colonized by Greek traders who introduced olives and wine. In recent years, the region has become a world capital for cycling, attracting pros and pilgrims to its pristine pavement, legendary coastal climbs, and close-knit community of cyclists. It’s this blend of ancient heritage and homegrown culture that makes us say “Brava!” to every ride.
