Day 1 - Arrival
We can't think of a more obvious place to start the Volta Catalunya than Girona.
We’ve chosen to start and end this epic tour in the vibrant cycling capital of Girona - a city that lives and breathes cycling culture while offering authentic Catalan charm and unforgettable culinary experiences.
If you want to ease into the adventure or simply enjoy more time in this magical city, you’re welcome to arrive a day early. It’s the perfect way to settle in, soak up Girona’s unique atmosphere, and discover why it has become a paradise for cyclists from around the world.
From our hotel, everything is just a short stroll away: more than 10 top-tier bike shops, countless cozy cycling cafés, and an impressive range of restaurants. Nowhere else in the world will you find a city with this much cycling energy concentrated in one place.
Arriving early also gives you the chance to spin your legs with a relaxed ride and make sure your bike is perfectly dialed in before the tour begins. Experience Girona the way the pros do—and you’ll quickly understand why once people visit, they can’t help but come back again and again.
