Cycling in the Green Ways and Country Roads of Girona

A fantastic week, Gareth and Fiona were extremely welcoming and incredible hosts. I joined the beginners triathlon camp and they both had amazing knowledge regarding training, pushing me out of my comfort zone on all activities, that I have left the week reaching goals I didn’t think was possible. I can't recommend Girona Cycling/Mas Pelgri enough, the hotel is absolutely stunning!!

Gareth was the ultimate guide, filling me in on local color and providing detailed maps and descriptions of various routes in the area. He went above and beyond in helping me to get to the location and back to Barcelona. I would absolutely return again to Serinyá!

I went with a group of people from our cycling club, for a week's cycling. We had a warm welcome, helpful tips and suggestions for both lovely and challenging rides that we did from Mas Pelegri. It was a peaceful and beautiful location, and we even enjoyed yoga by the pool before our day of cycling!

Our fourth visit to Mas Pelegri, home of Girona Cycling. Whereas previous visits had been for triathlon camp and road cycling we opted to explore offroad on this trip. Over recent years we’ve migrated from MTB to gravel and tend to ride more and more gravel rather than road. We asked Girona Cycling to guide us on 5 days of gravel in the hills and mountains around Banyoles and Besalú. As always, we were made to feel very welcome by hosts Gareth and Fiona in the comfortable accommodation offered by Mas Pelegri. We stayed in one of the apartments this time but opted to take breakfast and dinner in the main house. With Gareth as our guide, we enjoyed exploring some fabulous trails without the burden of having to navigate. I sense we only touched a very small portion of the off-road routes available to us. A wide range of terrain to suit all abilities. We spent time on gentle trails and signed and rated MTB trails. You want easy; it’s there. You want difficult – well, that’s there too. Would thoroughly recommend – there’s even morning yoga by the pool with host Fiona. No better way to start your day. Thank you Girona Cycling and Mas Pelegri – another fabulous trip of which we have very fond memories.

Mas Pelegri is superb. The accomodation is perfect and the food is excellent. Gareth and Fiona are wonderfull hosts - and I really mean that - it turns out I had contracted COVID before arrival at Mas Pelegri and came down with it when there. Gareth and Fiona went out of their way to help us out - setting us up in a garden suite away from everyone, delivering food and helping with local advice (testing etc). We managed a couple of day’s cycling before the ‘bug’ got me and the routes Gareth provided where great. The cycling is wonderful around there. Scenery and roads are great - and the car drivers are the absolute best. You’ll never feel threatened! Well done Catalunya! Thank you so much Gareth and Fiona - we very much appreciated your hospitality. Regards Stewart
