Girona
Gravel Camp Girona February + Santa Vall
9 days / 8 nights - Friday, February 5 - Saturday, February 13, 2026
This camp is centred around Santa Vall, the two-day gravel stage race that marks the start of the European gravel season and is organised by the team behind TRAKA.
The race forms part of the Gravel Earth Series and takes place over two stages, both starting and finishing in Sant Gregori, just outside Girona:
Saturday: 114 km with 1,600 metres of climbing
Sunday: 80 km with 1,100 metres of climbing
We take care of the practical details surrounding the race, including a race briefing and support at the start.
Once Santa Vall is over, six days of guided gravel riding await on some of the finest gravel roads around Girona.

Fantastic camp that started with the Santa Vall gravel race – two tough stages. A great combination of racing followed by the camp week afterwards.
Bekim and Fie manage to put together some fantastic training rides in stunning surroundings while at the same time creating a great atmosphere throughout the whole group.
I can only give my very best recommendations for both the Bike Camp Spain Gravel Camp and the Santa Vall race itself. 👌

What a fantastic week in Girona with Bike Camp Spain – two days of racing at Santa Vall, followed by five days riding some of the best gravel trails around Girona, with Bekim Christensen as a fantastic host.
Thank you for a great trip. 🙏

The Camp
The idea behind extending the camp after the race is simple: once Santa Vall is over, you can relax and enjoy the riding without any pressure.
There is no longer any need to think about recovery, racing tactics or saving your legs for the next stage — now it's all about riding, exploring and enjoying the experience.
Monday is a dedicated recovery day, giving everyone the chance to recharge after the race weekend. The rest of the week we typically ride 80–100 km of gravel each day, exploring some of the very best gravel roads Girona has to offer.
Some days feature fast and flowing gravel roads, while others take us deep into the hills and mountains surrounding Girona.
We will almost certainly ride sections of the legendary TRAKA routes, but the camp is about much more than just riding bikes.
It is about good company, great food and experiencing why Girona has become one of the world's great cycling destinations — both on and off the bike.
Lunch stops and evenings are spent enjoying the atmosphere of carefully selected local cafés and restaurants.

Stay in the Historic Heart of Girona
Wake up surrounded by cobbled streets, lively squares and cosy cafés in the heart of Girona's historic Old Town.
The atmosphere is authentic, relaxed and vibrant — and it is this unique energy that has helped make Girona one of Europe's true cycling capitals.
After a day on the gravel roads and in the mountains, you can unwind at a sunny café terrace, enjoy a cortado alongside fellow cyclists or wander through the historic streets along the River Onyar.
The combination of world-class cycling and the Mediterranean lifestyle is something truly special.
