Spain: Bicycling Barcelona, Girona & Catalan Pyrenees

Join ATG on some of the best and most varied cycling terrain, including mountains, rolling hills, valleys and along the coast. We’ll ride along lakes, through forests and enjoy spectacular mountain views. You’ll enjoy two-night stays in small, boutique hotels and inns in Catalunya’s most charming villages. Our multiple-night stays allow you to get in additional or fewer miles, hike, spend time sightseeing or simply relax.

Our tour traverses the High Catalunya Pyrenees. There will be plenty of opportunities to test your legs on some challenging cols. You’ll finish in northeastern Spain in Girona, the well-known European “home away from home” to several North American professional cyclists, including Tyler Hamilton and Lance Armstrong. We’ll spend a few days riding the same training routes the pros ride, so you’ll see why so many of them choose this area as their European home.

Airport Arrival/Departure City: Barcelona

Average Daily Mileage and Terrain
We’ll ride an average of 40 to 50 miles a day over hilly, lightly traveled terrain. As with all of our trips, there will be plenty of options available for riding more or less each day.

What Our Guests Are Saying
"After many years of family and group bike tours in France and the U.S., the ten days of riding in Catalunya with Gary and Lise were my most enjoyable bicycle vacation ever! Their route planning was outstanding, combining flexible cycling challenges, beautiful scenery and cultural immersion. The hotels they chose were classy, low-key and intimate. Last but not least, they fostered a congenial atmosphere among the group of sixteen total strangers who quickly became best friends, while attending to every detail of managing their enterprise in an efficient, yet relaxed manner. If there was a gold medal for bicycle tour operators, they should get it!"
Philippe Dunoyer, Denver, CO

"If you want large busses, large groups and large, "big box" hotels, Adventure Travel Group isn't for you. BUT, if you enjoy being away from the normal tourist grind, small and friendly groups, and guides who personally have experienced every hotel, restaurant and ride, then travel with Gary and Lise. I'll soon be booking my third bike trip and now think of them as friends!"
Dave Benson, Fort Collins, CO
