Its about what the did, what they achieved, what they like and we hope the stories inspire you for your stay or cool things to do.
We often get the question: How do I get to Girona from airports or Barcelona?
Here is your answer:
From Barcelona center or the airport
Private transfer or Taxi: Most expensive but convenient option especially with a bike box.
With 4 persons and soft bike boxes it just fits. Price around €250.
Train: Take the train from the airport or any other form to Passeig de Gracia station. Get a direct train to Girona there.
Yes there is a fast train (AVE) but it doesn’t allow bike boxes and Sants station is very hectic and the fast train doesn’t go often and can be full.
So changing trains at Gracia is easier, same platform and about a 15 min wait maximum.
Buy a ticket at the cashier at the airport. Cost: about 15-20 euro duration around 2h.
Do not plan via maps Plan via ;

At Girona station grab a taxi to your destination (preferably Equipe : )
From Girona Airport
Taxi: but at high season pretty difficult, cost around €35
Private transfer: Ask us and we book one, van takes 4 people plus bikes. Driver will be waiting with a sign at arrivals.
Bus: Cheapest option at €2,80 to Girona Station. But there is limited times (for instance not at siesta times) Sagales airport bus. Line 602

2026: La Volta Catalunya and Tour de France in our region
2026 will offer some great chances to see the pro peloton!
First up is La Volta 23-29 of March. Start is again in St Feliu and next day they will go to the Pyrenees.
When booking 4 nights or more we will guide you to the two stages (road or gravel) and see the peloton from nearby
And then.. The Grand Tour.. Le Tour start in Barcelona.
Day 1 and 2 you can go watch the first stages in Barcelona. The TTT on 4th of july and the finish of day 2 on the 5th. Barcelona is easy to travel from Girona by Train.
Then for day 3 we have something special.
We ride to that stage and watch them come by on one of the climbs in the Spanish pyrenees. After that we stay off site in a small hotel and ride back to Girona the next day.
With a 5 nights stay we will do the day 3 guiding for free. Both ride days will be top notch rides with plenty of climbing.
More questions please do ask us.
Why El Piri might be our favorite Girona event
Organised by James and his (family) team www.lesperitdelbikepacking.org El Piri bikepacking event has become one of our favorite events to have people for at Equipe.
Why? We are a stay that is more personal and we are always involved with our guests and nothing beats having great people go on a fantastic athletic adventure of almost 800km and 18k of climbing. Following them and sort of support them is such a pleasure for us too. And they are great people, the sense of community, camaraderie and support among participants is truly amazing, the stories we heard from everyone in the past years have been amazing. If you make it or not. But you can with the right prep. From the fastest to the slowest, from riders to supporters the respect is just great.
So we cannot wait for the 2026 edition starting 14th of june. Happy to be the (flexible) home base for your adventure. We make sure you will start well rested and fed and be sure you come home to a cosy bed and care.
Meanwhile we thank The Davids, Jan, Ian’s, James for sharing their adventure with us. Memorable days and we cant wait to have a house full of these fantastic participants. We hope to have you here for the warm up ride and start number pick up.
