Girona and Mallorca, Cycling Heavens

Girona is a mid-size Catalan city, halfway between the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees, between Barcelona and France. This makes for a great variety of landscapes and cycling options.

At the same time, Girona’s medieval old town, very well preserved and doted with great cafes, restaurants and shops, makes it a great place to wander around when not on your bike.

Girona has become, since the early 2000s, the residence of choice for many non-European professional cyclists, both women and men. The city breathes cycling most of the year.

Mallorca is the biggest island in the Balearic. The Serra de Tramuntana forms the rugged and mountainous north, then has the flatter in the centre and south, is not complicated to know which part we will focus on during our riding there….

With many towns and villages of interest, there’s not a specific area more interesting than others, however, we decided to stay near the capital, Palma de Mallorca, so we can enjoy some fine dining after great days on the bike.
