Spain: Girona & Costa Brava
Cycle along shimmering coasts, through medieval villages and past historic castles during VBT’s Costa Brava bike tour. The vast Mediterranean Sea greets you as you ride past picturesque farmlands, coastal vistas, and fruit orchards. Along the way, explore quaint villages and immerse yourself in local life. Dive into the thriving art community amid the fascinating stone buildings in the village of Peratallada; allow gentle winds to carry you through the cobbled streets of Baix Empordà; learn about cider production during a private tour and tasting; and explore Empúries which features some of the most important Greek and Roman ruins on the Iberian Peninsula. Each and every day of your journey is framed by lush farmlands, sunflower fields, and stunning mountain views.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the VBT Costa Brava trip. The biking itinerary was clearly written and well planned. We are confident traveling in Europe after living there many years, however, we believe it is safer and certainly more convenient to bike with a reputable group tour. VBT offers a high quality experience which we can recommend without hesitation.
