The Best Road in Catalonia

DETAILS

Cycling in Costa Brava, what an experience!

Costa Brava is famous for its weather and landscapes and nowadays also for its perfect roads, ideal to cycle all year long. One of the best roads of the whole Mediterranean Sea is the road from Tossa de Mar to Sant Feliu de Guixols. Incredibly nice!

On that road we can enjoy 25 kilometers of coastline, steep sections with stunning views over the normally calm Mediterranean Sea. Two factors play in favor: you can roll there throughout the year and traffic is very scarce. More? The asphalt is perfect and the guardrails along the road are made of wood, matching the environment. It is a very special road and even on windy days, you can enjoy better the atmosphere of clear sea and views on.

REVIEWS

Fun Cycling On Beautiful Roads
I booked the Costa Brava tour with Claudio and am so glad I did, it was one of the highlights of my trips to Catalonia! Claudio is a great guy, quick to respond to communication, is friendly and speaks English very well. He’s also in good shape so we were able to ride together at a good pace that was challenging and fun for both of us. The route he guided me on is through one of the best cycling spots in the world. He rides safely and ensures that everything is going smoothly for his clients. The next time I’m back in the area I will certainly book another tour with Claudio at Montefusco Cycling. ¡Gracias!

“I hoped to enjoy my ride on the “best road in the Costa Brava”
but it exceeded every expectation and turned it to be the highlight of my trip to BCN. Claudio is amazing from pre-trip planning to the ride itself. He was attentive to my every need and pitched the ride perfectly to my capabilities. My set up was even better than my bike at home. I unreservedly recommend a ride with Claudio -what a treat!”
“I booked a private road bike tour with Claudio and rented one of his bikes
to do rides on my own during summer holidays in the Costa Brava area. Claudio’s service is great: perfect tailor-made advice in advance on where to go, including Gpx-navigation files. On the day of the tour, Claudio delivered the bike at the holiday address. We made an 80km tour together (las Gavarres, with several nice climbs). Great fun, as he is a really good company too. And a great connaisseur of cycling history, so we covered decades of Tour de France epic moments during the coffee break, nice! Equipment was quality stuff: brand new Orbea carbon bike with Shimano 105 crank/gearing and Selle saddle. I have seen worse on rentals …?. Absolutely to be recommended! Will book again when in the area (or in Barcelona as he had some awfully good trips around the city – for next time…).”
“The Costa Brava ride was truly the most interesting ride
I have ever done, ranging from winding roads high above the Mediterranean through quaint seaside towns, rolling hills, and two challenging and scenic climbs. The weather was great and next to no traffic (except for many cyclists) and smooth roads made for a very safe ride. Claudio pushed me just the right amount for a challenging ride and always made sure I was enjoying myself. He knew the area like the back of his hand and he shared many interesting stories. I would highly recommend Costa Brava and Montefusco Cycling.”
“With a free Sunday after a family vacation in Barcelona
, Claudio led me one of the best and most scenic rides of my life along the Costa Brava. The Tossa de Mar to Sant Feliu section (described on his website/blog) is not to be missed. Claudio is a terrific rider, knows the area, and was a great company for a long day in the saddle. (He speaks English very well.) And he made it really easy to arrange through a few emails. Incredible day – rollers, good climbs, and that beautiful stretch along the coast – all wrapped up by mid-afternoon. If you are in that region, I highly recommend you seek out Claudio and highly recommend this ride!”
