Overview

RIDING

DISCOVER THE PYRENEAN PEAKS

Girona is widely regarded as a world capital for cycling. Many pro riders call the ‘City of a Thousand Seiges’ home for at least part of the year, meaning if you’re in town to enjoy the myriad of stunning riding routes, you may find yourself riding side-by-side with some familiar faces. Couple that with year round sunshine and varied terrain that can include high mountains, beaches and medieval towns all in the same loop, it’s easy to see why Girona has become an irresistible cycling Mecca. Discover hidden beauty spots and some of the regions most iconic vistas alongside Taylor Phinney.

DINNING

A TASTE OF CATALONIA

Catalonia has long been one of the richest culinary destinations in Europe and was once home to the now-closed El Bulli, widely regarded as the greatest restaurant in modern history. Nowadays it boasts 64 Michelin-star restaurants spanning Costa Brava, Barcelona and of course, Girona. Outside of the feast of fine-dining establishments, Catalonia’s culinary gem bucks the typical Spanish tapas trend, instead Gironin tradition is to enjoy a la carte style dining. Produce is king here and dishes are dictated by seasonality with Catalan Pyrenees beef enjoyed simply grilled on a flame, and Mediterranean seafood stews rich with the freshest catch. Basque-born Michelin-star chef Nieves Barragán will marry the flavours of her restaurant Sabor with the very best local produce, taking you on a truly world-class culinary tour of the region. All to be enjoyed nestled amongst the vineyards of Can Terrades.
