Experience Girona: A Cyclist’s Dream.
Nestled in the heart of Catalonia, our cycling retreat offers an unique experience for cycling enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Girona is a cyclist's paradise and cycling this region is unlike cycling anywhere else in the world. It’s not just the weather, roads and architecture. It’s the fact you feel you’re wandering into the home of the professional peloton. It's a place where you can spend your days cycling alongside rugged pink rocks with the teal-coloured Mediterranean glimmering below, framed by grand, arabesque pines on the Costa Brava or, on near deserted roads in gloriously wild parts and tastefully manicured in others. Our expert guide will take you through the iconic spots in and around Girona, sharing cool stories and local tips along the way.
Savor Delicious Food and Wine!
And let's talk about the food! Catalonia is a culinary haven and you're in for a treat. After your rides, you'll dig into mouthwatering local dishes that showcase fresh seasonal ingredients. From hearty tapas to flavourful paella, the region's cuisine is sure to delight your taste buds.
Then there's the wines. Catalonia is home to renowned vineyards and you'll have the chance to enjoy a glass of crisp white or a bold red perfectly paired with your meals. Cheers to that!
Unwind with Yoga and Massage.
At our retreat, we believe in balancing body and mind. After a day on the bike, relax with our rejuvenating yoga sessions. Your instructor will guide you through stretches to sink into deep relaxation and soothe tired bodies. And let’s not forget the massages that relieve muscle tension and help you recharge for more incredible rides.
Worried that the cycling and/or yoga might be too difficult? The cycling is moderate to challenging and the yoga is suitable for all levels, even the stiffest body! No yoga experience is necessary, just a willingness to try something new. For more information on the cycling, please refer to the 'cycling section' below.

The Venue
Our home while we are in Girona is a unique eco estate which was was built for Catalan landscape painter Francesc d’Assís Casademont “Le Vieux”, a friend and contemporary of Salvador Dalí’s.
The estate is run by cyclists, for cyclists and main villa rests near the top of a gentle slope, and the holm oak and pine forest has been cut away in places to reveal views over the trees towards the Gavarres hills, and nearby olive and cypress groves. There are many different areas both interior and exterior in which to spread out and water is a recurring feature on the estate, with ponds linked by a stream, with fish and other aquatic life such as frogs and salamanders. There are several sheltered, enclosed areas in the forest for quality “me” time. There is also an extensive vegetable garden, and many fruit trees offering peaches, mandarins, avocados, oranges, loquats, apricots and figs, as well as a canopy of grape vines. Sustainability is at the heart of the estate, and all energy is from renewable sources on site.
.
The covered bike porch has plenty of dry, safe bike storage, as well as maintenance racks, tools, and bike washing facilities. On top of this, the former Casademont Art Gallery on the estate has been transformed into a fully equipped tranquil yoga studio, and the property also boast the all important pool for a post ride splash!
Located a few hundred metres south of the medieval village of Púbol, site of the Gala and Salvador Dali castle museum, in the Baix Empordà region of Girona province, it's the ideal base for us to explore all that Catalonia and the Costa Bravo offers by bike, in true Soulfit Adventures style.

Cycling
Riding in Girona is physically demanding and can be challenging. Typically we ride up to 80 kms, sometimes more, with elevation each day. The retreat is not a training camp and we are focused on you enjoying a stimulating yet relaxed time. The cycling itineraries have been designed for people with a reasonable level of cycling fitness and experience. Our itineraries are designed to show the best that Catalonia and the Costa Brava has to offer and the rides are graded by the level of difficulty which relates mainly to the distance and terrain. However, it is also largely influenced by an individual’s cycling experience and level of fitness.
E-bikes available on request to enable all fitness levels to enjoy riding together.
Non-cycling/yoga friends and spouses
Non-cycling/yoga participants are always welcome and all activities are voluntary. Catalonia is the perfect destination for non-cycling partners to enjoy whilst you’re out on your ride. There are a plethora of small villages, cafes and restaurants, cobbled streets, fabulous shops and museums all within easy reach. Not to mention the pool on the estate which one could laze around for a few hours, and the Costa Brava with it's glorious coast line is close by. There is enough to do on most of our trips to keep non-riders happy, and we are only too happy help guests not participating in the organised activities with optional excursions at their own expense.
