Travel
The closest airport to Caldes de Malavella is Girona regional airport, although it does not support intercontinental travel. It is most ideal to book a flight to Barcelona, and travel to Caldes de Malavella via taxi, or train. Please let us know if you need guidance figuring this out.
Equipment
Riders are responsible for providing their own equipment. If you would prefer a rental, the city of Girona is just a 30-minute train ride away. Let us know if you need suggestions on rental companies.
Dinners
Breakfast and lunch is included every day of riding (Days 2-6), although if you’d prefer to add-on nightly hotel dinners to your hotel reservation, you can do so during the registration process.
