Stage 1
Costa Brava “Coast-to-Empordà”
A pure Costa Brava opener: rolling terrain out of Tossa, short punchy ramps and panoramic sea views before the route opens up into faster, flowing kilometres through the Empordà. Expect a mix of coastal rollers, smooth connectors, and lively “racey” sections—perfect for getting the legs switched on without going too deep on day one.

Stage 2
Empordà Fast Lane
Stage 2 is your speed-and-rhythm day: wide open scenery, long steady tempo lines, and that classic Empordà feel—wind, fields, villages, and endless flow. Less about big climbs, more about positioning, pacing and riding efficiently as a group.

Punchy Climbs & Wild Gravel
Shorter on paper, but this one bites: Stage 3 is a compact climbing session with repeated punchy efforts, steep kicks, and proper gravel character. Expect technical little descents, “wall” moments, and a real backcountry vibe—the stage where the strong riders start to shine.

Stage 4
Queen Stage: Bas + Sacalm Mountains
The big one. A long, hard day that stacks up the climbing with iconic inland terrain—Coll de Bas, rolling valleys, then the sustained, serious work around Amer / Sant Martí Sacalm. This is the “queen stage” where you settle into endurance mode: long climbs, long descents, and big Girona-gravel atmosphere.

19:00 — Dinner [ Traditional restaurant in the old town ]
9:00 — Breakfast [ Hotel ]
10:15 — Stage 5 — Start
Stage 5
Girona Hills Finale
A proper finish: short, intense, and climby, with classic Girona-area ramps and a final-day “empty the tank” feel. Multiple steep, rhythm-breaking climbs (VO2-style efforts if you want them), then fast transitions and that satisfying last push to close the week strong.
