A unique journey from Girona to the vibey Mediterranean port of Cadaqués and into the Pyrenees mountains.
Girona is well known as the perfect roadie destination, but the city and the surrounding Catalan countryside have way more to offer than the much-loved paved roads of the many PRO cyclists who live in the area. Go Beyond Tarmac and discover the real beauty of this fascinating region.
Join us for a magnificent Beyond Tarmac loop around Girona and the Catalan countryside.
From the narrow streets of the old city with it’s trendy cafés and bike shops, the route heads east towards the Mediterranean Coast and the magical town of Cadaqués, where Salvador Dalí worked his wonders.
Leaving behind the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean we ride into the Garrotxa National Park, famous for its now extinct volcanoes and the Fageda d’en Jorda, one of the most stunning beech tree forests in Europe. A spectacular ride high above the Sau River valley cliffs take us to one of the most scenic hotels in Spain before the final day ride back to Girona – and a night out in the old town!

A favorite stage for the crew. After leaving L`Escala, we hit the Aiguamolls de L’Emporda (a flat Delta) until mid-stage where we arrive to Roses, the town where the world famous El Bulli restaurant is located. Not stopping there to eat though… Here is where the “magic” starts, with one of the best kept secrets in the region, a perfect gravel trail that rides next to idyllic turquoise waters and cliffs before getting to the small fishing town of Cadaqués, where Salvador Dalí created most of his art, and one of the most beautiful villages in Catalonia.
