Overview

This eight-day journey captures the full spectrum of Spanish cycling, from the warm Mediterranean coast to the misty highlands of Asturias. We begin in Girona, the European base camp of pro cyclists, where café-lined medieval streets open directly onto quiet country lanes. Over three memorable days we’ll climb Rocacorba, the region’s power test-piece; sweep through the fragrant forests of Santuari dels Àngels, Santa Pellaia, and Romanyà de la Selva; and trace the dramatic coastal switchbacks of Sant Grau d’Ardenya above Tossa de Mar. Evenings bring time to savor Girona’s vibrant food scene and rich Catalan culture.

From there, a scenic transfer north delivers us to Oviedo, the historic capital of Asturias and our launchpad for Spain’s most legendary ascents. Over four unforgettable rides we’ll take on the brutal gradients of the Alto de l’Angliru, climb to the turquoise alpine lakes of Lagos de Covadonga, and link deep-green valleys on the twin giants of Puerto de la Cobertoria and Puerto de San Lorenzo. A final flourish brings us to the Alto de la Cubilla – The Asturian Galibier: a 28 km masterpiece of gentle switchbacks and open alpine vistas that rivals any climb in the Alps. Oviedo itself offers lively plazas, cider bars, and a culture steeped in Asturian tradition.

This carefully paced itinerary blends two worlds of riding in one seamless tour—the Mediterranean elegance of Girona and the raw, soaring beauty of Asturias. By week’s end you’ll have experienced Spain’s cycling soul from sea to sky: iconic climbs, rich regional flavors, and the deep satisfaction that comes from linking coast and mountains in a single, unforgettable journey.
