Overview
Nicknamed ‘Pro Ville’, Girona has probably the highest concentration of pro cyclist residents in the world. 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, and we’ve been riding and running tours here since 2014. The town has a vibrant, colorful old center, dominated by a hilltop cathedral and filled with lively 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 Girona bike 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!
For 2027 Girona BreakAway is our spring cycling camp. Join us April 9-13 for some early-season fun!

Travel Details
Arrival Airport / Train Station – Barcelona / Girona
Departure Airport / Train Station – Barcelona / Girona
Barcelona, one of the most interesting and romantic cities in Europe, is just 30 minutes by train from Girona. If you have the time, we’d suggest a few days there on one end of your BreakAway.
The area around Girona is also interesting, but you’ll need a car to explore properly. There are some wonderful, ancient villages close by (e.g. Besalu) and Figueres (short trip by train) houses the Salvador Dali Museum, a must-see for fans of Dali.

No Fluke!
We last enjoyed a cycling tour put together for our group by 445 Cycling Tours in 2016. It was marvelous. Maybe it was a fluke or that Gerry and John (owners/operators) just wanted to impress us the first time. Maybe they might’ve slacked off since that time. Well, after completing another well planned and executed… Read more “No Fluke!”

Amazing Cycling Experience in Girona
Awesome cycling experience – the quality of the rides, routes, and guide expertise was fantastic. Everything needed was provided for, and the routes were significantly challenging but survivable. Can’t wait for my next trip with Gerry!

Fantastic Experience
For a group of “reasonably fit flatlanders” taking on the “Giant of Provence” was a monumental challenge. However, with the help of Gerry and John we achieved everything we had set out to do. A successful week away climbing Ventoux and seeing all that the beautiful Provence countryside had to offer! The 44-5 team were… Read more “Fantastic Experience”
