Excursión ciclista de un día de Figueres a Girona

Get ready for a fantastic ride from Figueres to Girona — two gems of Catalunya, each with their own unique flair. Figueres is famously the birthplace of Salvador Dalí and home to the mind-bending Dalí Theatre-Museum. Once you’ve soaked up some surrealism, hop on your bike and head south!

The route covers about 53 kilometers and weaves through quiet roads and scenic tracks, with a good mix of surfaces from smooth asphalt to rustic gravel and the occasional country lane. Expect a few sustained climbs (about 627 meters of ascent in total), but nothing too extreme — just enough to get your legs working and earn that post-ride gelato.

The scenery shifts from rolling farmland to shaded forest stretches as you approach Girona, which greets you with its medieval walls, lively old town, and a cycling scene that’s second to none in Europe. You’ll mostly avoid busy roads, and there are plenty of peaceful spots to take a break for a snack or to snap a photo. Pack some water, enjoy the Catalan countryside, and finish your journey with a well-deserved stroll by the River Onyar in Girona’s gorgeous historic center!
