ENJOY THE BEST RIDING IN SPAIN, GIRONA AND MALLORCA ALL IN ONE TRIP.
Welcome to our SFIDA Girona – Mallorca trip.
This trip has become a popular one in the SFIDA Cycling calendar. May is a great time of the year to ride in Girona and Mallorca, and what better than to do it with us?
Girona is now the base for a good number of professional riders, when riding around is usual to see them while training.
In Girona, we have many things of interest for you: great riding, some sightseeing and fantastic food!
During our stay in Girona, we will ride and climb Els Angels, Mare de Deu de Mont and Rocacorba, and visit places like Besalu and Banyoles. Besides the countryside at this time of the year is specially beautiful.
After our rides, Girona itself, with its medieval city centre is an amazing place to walk have a drink and enjoy the atmosphere.
On day four we will transfer to Barcelona Airport and fly to Mallorca.
While in Mallorca we will do a lot of riding in the Serra de Tramuntana, which is all over the northern coast from Cap de Formentor to Andratx, with plenty of great climbs and scenic roads.
The most iconic rides in Mallorca are, of course, included in this trip: Cap de Formentor, Sa Calobra, Coll de Sa Batalla, Coll de Soller (both ways),
With only two hotels in eight days, one in Girona and one in Mallorca, this is the perfect trip to bring a non-rider partner.

CANCELLATION POLICY:
Adapting to the changes in international travel after the COVID-19 pandemic, we are adjusting our cancellation policy accordingly as follows:
120 days before the trip starts – the return of your deposit minus any expenses that we may not be able to reimburse.
90 days before the trip starts – partial refund of the amount of the trip less the 500 Euros cancellation fee, plus any amount that we can’t recover from Hotels, and other costs that we may have already incurred in the trip preparation.
No amount will be refunded less than 60 days before the trip starts. We will, however, try to credit as much as possible towards a future trip. This depends on the amount that we can get back from the hotels and other costs that we have already incurred in the trip preparation.
We highly recommend to contract travel insurance as soon you pay the deposit and buy your international flights.
Make sure your travel insurance covers:
- Refund the amounts paid if you need to cancel for any reason.
- Covers the cost of possible damages to your rental bike. Check our T&C for this.
For these reasons, we won’t be holding any spots until the full deposit has been paid.
Hotels are now more strict with how many rooms they are willing to have on hold for groups, so until deposit payments are made we won’t be able to confirm your spot.
