ESC organized an incredible trip of riding the epic climbs outside Girona, including a gravel day to a beautiful fishing village on the coast. This was our 4th trip with ESC, having completed the Trans Pyrenees, French Alps, and Dolomites previously. Everything about this trip was epic. ESC found an amazing villa a short walk to town and got us a chef to prepare daily breakfasts. The routes were perfect, and our guide, Josep, was a pleasure to be with. Riding both road and gravel gave us a chance to check out a few different bikes from their huge rental fleet I look forward to our next trip! Dan
