Catalunya is a spectacular study in contrasts, from the soaring peaks of the Pyrenees to the sparkling blue water of the Mediterranean’s shallow coves. Explore all of this and more as you pedal past centuries-old alpine villages clinging to the mountains, challenge yourself to climb to the top of Catalunya's highest road, travel back in time to Spain's best preserved medieval towns, wind through the welcoming Alt Empordà wine region, and enjoy wonderfully scenic stretches of rolling Costa Brava coastline. You will quickly realize why this region is beloved by so many, from the surrealist artist Salvador Dalí to the elite riders training for the professional UCI WorldTour circuit.

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
