Girona BreakAway

Nicknamed ‘Pro Ville’, Girona has probably the highest concentration of pro cyclist residents than anywhere else in Europe. And if pros live here you know there’s some good riding to be had! 44|5 has an affinity with Girona, like most others who’ve visited the city and surrounding countryside. The town has a vibrant, colorful old center, dominated by a hilltop cathedral and filled with lovely squares, winding streets and plenty of restaurants, cafes and montaditos bars (Catalan tapas) to fill you up after a great ride. It’s a perfect urban base for a cycling holiday.

And the riding is really something. Girona is located between the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees, meaning you can do a coastal ride one day and hammer in the foothills the next. The pros have their favorite routes and climbs, of course, and we’ll search them out on our BreakAway tour. And make sure you keep an eye out on our rides because ‘pro sightings’ are a common occurrence in this part of the world!
