The edit
Girona is home to more professional cyclists than any city on earth, and the reasons are all around it: quiet, perfectly surfaced lanes through the Empordà, the storied climb to Rocacorba, and rail-trail greenways that carry any level of rider from the volcanoes of the Garrotxa down to the sea. Add vineyard loops in the Penedès and true high-mountain cols in the Cerdanya.
