La Costa Daurada by Road Bike

Just 100 km South of Barcelona, you find one of the best areas for cycling in Spain!

As soon as you come to la Costa Daurada, you fall in love with staying next to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, while you can jump on the bike and ride 1000s of kilometers through fields of fruit trees and up winding roads and wine fieldsof the Prioriat in the nearby lower - medium high mountains where the highest peaks are at around 1000 m. Professional road bike teams come for training camps here for a reason!

The roads are quiet and in good condition. You can stay on the more flat, cycle for hours in to the mountains or cycle a combination of both. The mountains start after around 20 km cycling on the flat from Cabrils and the climbs offer mild-medium gradients (3-7%).

You can visit villages and towns with their distinct local history and charm. ​The Romans were here, Gaudi was born here - in summertime a lot of tourists are here. ​ We will visit out of the main tourist season when the climate is friendly to cyclists, who love to go rolling the wheels in the sun for a few hours.

We stay in the Mediterranean Sport Village in Cambrils, which offers private apartments of high quality and all sorts of facilities that you like to indulge in when on an active get-away.

Highlights
