Lovely Catalonia! In the extreme northeast of Spain, along the Mediterranean Sea is the region of Catalonia and from Barcelona to the French coast is a traveler's paradise: beaches, sunshine year round, medieval villages, art, architecture, and history - all the way to ancient history! On top of that, the region has become a cycling mecca of sorts, with a number of pro teams and cylclists coming to the very charming town of Girona, located an hour north of Barcelona, to find great off-season riding and training. In Girona, one can find the new and the old - with a city built up around a very long history, the old city offers narrow cobblestone streets that have been preserved and yet all the modern conveniences available. It is around the charming city that our cycling program is set.
