Spain: Girona & Costa Brava
Catalonia is a legendary training ground for cyclists—but you don’t have to be a pro to enjoy biking this famous region with VBT. With our deep Spanish roots, we’ve designed accessible bike routes for cyclists of all levels, with optional challenges for those looking to take on the region’s famous climbs. As you pedal through Costa Brava’s charming bucolic landscape, you’ll pass farmland and orchards, stopping at a local home where you’ll enjoy lunch with a family, eating ingredients straight from their garden. You’ll also experience the sophisticated side of Costa Brava as you enjoy innovative local cuisine in Girona, sip sparkling cava in L’Estartit, and explore Púbol Castle, where Salvador and Gala Dali lived and left their indelible mark.
Tour Highlights
- Learn about the personal life of artist Salvador Dalí during a visit to Púbol Castle.
- Pedal a rural landscape past fields of sunflowers, fruit orchards, and rice fields.
- Enjoy lunch at a typical mas—a small Catalonian farmhouse—featuring dishes crafted from our hosts’ organic farm.
- Admire one of the finest amphitheaters outside of Rome on a guided audio tour of the Greek and Roman ruins of Empúries.
- Enjoy a scenic private cruise along the Costa Brava.
What to Expect
This tour offers a combination of easy terrain and moderate hills and is ideal for both beginner and experienced cyclists. Our VBT support vehicle is always available for those who would like assistance with the hills.

This was one of the best VBT tours we have taken. Food, riding, scenery, exploration of the art of Dali, wonderful guides and fantastic accommodations. Pre-trip in Barcelona is a must do to see the Gaudi architecture and Picasso museum as well as experience Catalonia at its best.
Spain’s Costa Brava: Cycling Dali’s Landscapes
I wasn't sure I would be able to do this ride. But I had no problem at all. I used an e-bike and kept up the group and had a ball! Everyone on the ride was wonderful and fun to be with. If you aren't sure you might be up for a ride thru Spain, think again. Anyone can do it using an e-bike. I can't wait to do my next trip!! Hum, where shall I go?
