GIRONA IS A GRAVEL PARADISE. But the best part might not even be the gravel. 🇪🇸
Mario went to Girona for Sea Otter Europe, gravel and XC — and came back with a list of places, rides and ideas worth saving for your next cycling trip.
TRUE CYCLING PARADISE
Girona is one of Europe’s ultimate destinations for gravel, road and XC cycling. And we quickly understood why.
Cycling cafés, bike shops, restaurants and riders from all over the world. The Girona cycling scene doesn’t stop when the ride ends.
From smarter components to new cycling technology: we discovered some exciting innovations at Sea Otter Europe Girona. And one of them might be coming home with us. 👀
Sea Otter Europe in Girona shows what a modern cycling festival can be: ride, test, race, discover and connect — all in one place.
Gravel gets the attention. But Girona also delivers when the trails get steeper, rougher and faster.
RIDE. SLEEP. COFFEE. REPEAT.
The Girona cycling routine: great routes, cycling-friendly places to stay, specialty coffee and a community built around bikes.
FOR A REASON.
Yes, Girona is everywhere in cycling right now. But after riding it ourselves, we get it. The city doesn’t just attract cyclists — cycling is part of the city.
A new brand is coming. But it’s probably not what you think.
Why is Girona one of Europe’s most talked-about cycling destinations? We went there to find out. 🇪🇸🚲
Mario explored Girona by bike — from gravel and XC trails to the city’s cycling cafés, places to stay and Sea Otter Europe.
These are the places, rides and ideas that stood out — and why Girona has become much more than a winter escape for cyclists.
Plus, we discovered something at Sea Otter that might soon find its way to Prinzhausen.
