THE GIRONA CULTURAL & CULINARY EXPERIENCE in association with Endurance
We are excited to introduce our new Cultural Experience in Girona, Spain. Catalonia is a region known for its stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture, making it the perfect destination for cyclists with an abundance of incredible riding and cultural events to sample in and around Girona.
With years of riding in this region, we have designed an epic 7 day Cultural Experience that truly showcases the stunning natural beauty and diversity of this region. Every day is a distinct journey to all corners of the Girona province – through picturesque medieval villages, along the enchanting Costa Brava rugged coastline, traverse through pine scented mountain forests over looking Girona and ride through ancient vineyards to the north in the Emporda wine region.
After an exhilarating day of riding through the rich landscapes of Girona, we understand how important it is to relax and recuperate, which is why we have carefully selected Girona’s finest hotel – Hotel Nord 1901. Nestled in the heart of Girona’s old town, Hotel Nord offers luxury accommodation that reflects the charm and character of Girona and is the only hotel in the old town with a pool, where you can cool down after a day out in these Catalan landscapes. Another reason for choosing Hotel Nord 1901 – Is their delicious high energy buffet style breakfast to fuel your day ahead.
It would be amiss not to mention the wonderful food and equally spectacular wines of Catalonia. With this all inclusive experience, we would like to take you to sample some of the exceptional food & drink in our favourite authentic Girona restaurants. Allow us to take you to small family run restaurants to indulge in the typical Catalan favourites like – Fideua, (noodle paella) Embotits, (cured meats) Bolets, (Catalan wild mushrooms) Escalivada, (smoky grilled vegetables) Botifarra,(BBQ mountain sausage) Esqueixada, (salt cod & tomato salad) or simple fresh seafood plucked from the Mediterranean sea!
In recent years Catalonia has also seen its wines win international acclaim, not only the more famous D.O regions like Penedes and Priorat but also smaller wineries in Emporda, Costers del Segre and Monsant are recognised among some of the best wines in Spain
But inevitably – the primary take-away from these trips is the genuine camaraderie with fellow riders. Once you’ve been through these shared experiences – you truly establish a special bond with your cycling compadres.
Allow us take care of everything – so you can relish these stunning rides, eating beautiful fresh local Catalan food and sharing this unique experience with your fellow riders.
Uniquely, this experience is set up in association with Endurance because they can ensure that you are confident and ready for the rides. We share a similar ethos, that these experiences and adventures are even more enjoyable when we’re both fit and healthy.
The recipe is very simple – riding through idyllic landscapes with like minded friends, quality ride support & attention, and a generous sampling of the best local food and wine…… what more does anyone need?
