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.

Spain’s Costa Brava: Cycling Dali’s Landscapes
VBT never disappoints. This was my 4th trip with VBT and it was fantastic. Our guides Oriol and Martin were outstanding. Loved the visit to the Dali Museum and came away with a new appreciation for his work. The landscapes were beautiful and the visit to the cider company was fun. The post trip in Mallorca was a pleasure.
