On 18 April 2026, the Costa Brava will once again become the setting for one of the most anticipated sporting events in the calendar: the Gran Fondo Lloret Costa Brava.. An unmissable event for cycling enthusiasts, combining sport, nature and spectacular scenery in a unique setting.
With both the start and finish line in Lloret de Mar, this cycling event brings together hundreds of riders each year who aim to take on new challenges while enjoying one of the most impressive routes along the Catalan coastline.
A route between sea and mountains
One of the main highlights of the Gran Fondo Lloret Costa Brava is undoubtedly its route. Starting from the seafront promenade in Lloret de Mar, cyclists begin the day with the Mediterranean Sea as their companion, in surroundings that combine excitement and natural beauty from the very first kilometre.
The course follows some of the most iconic roads on the Costa Brava, renowned for their excellent condition and sweeping bends, ideal for road cycling. As the route leaves the coastline behind, it gradually heads inland, where the landscape changes: Mediterranean forests, gentle hills and more demanding stretches that test participants’ endurance.
One of the most appreciated aspects among cyclists is the variety of the course. The climbs offer a stimulating physical challenge, with steady gradients that encourage riders to find their own rhythm, while the descents allow them to enjoy speed and breathtaking panoramic views. In many sections, the natural surroundings create a true sense of disconnection, where the only sound is that of tyres rolling over the tarmac.
The route also passes through small towns and rural areas that preserve the traditional charm of the region, adding depth and authenticity to the experience. This combination of sea, mountains and Mediterranean landscapes makes the event far more than just a competition: it is an opportunity to discover the territory from a unique perspective.
Moreover, returning to Lloret de Mar after completing the route provides a memorable finish. Riding back along the seafront promenade, with the sea as a backdrop and the vibrant atmosphere of the event, is one of those moments participants remember long after crossing the finish line.
Overall, the Gran Fondo Lloret Costa Brava offers a balanced, demanding and spectacular cycling route, designed to fully enjoy road cycling in one of the Mediterranean’s most privileged settings.

An experience for cyclists of all levels
Another key attraction of the Gran Fondo Lloret Costa Brava is that it is open to both experienced cyclists and amateurs looking for a new challenge. The organisation takes care of every detail to ensure safety, support and the smooth running of the event, creating an accessible and memorable cycling experience.
In addition, the atmosphere throughout the event is truly unique. The start from the seafront promenade, the encouragement from spectators and the chance to ride along some of the Costa Brava’s most emblematic roads turn the day into a genuine celebration of cycling.

Lloret de Mar, an ideal destination for cycling
Thanks to its mild climate, well-maintained roads and wide variety of cycling routes, Lloret de Mar has established itself as one of the favourite destinations for cyclists all year round. The combination of sea, mountains and nature provides the perfect setting both for training camps and for an active cycling break on the Costa Brava.
Events such as the Gran Fondo strengthen the link between the Costa Brava and cycling tourism, attracting participants and visitors who take the opportunity to discover the destination and enjoy everything the area has to offer.

A perfect plan to combine sport and a getaway
Taking part in or attending the Gran Fondo Lloret Costa Brava is also an excellent opportunity to enjoy a different kind of weekend break. Beyond the competition itself, visitors can explore hidden coves, stroll along the seafront promenade or savour the local gastronomy.
On 18 April 2026, the Costa Brava will once again beat to the rhythm of pedalling. An experience that combines effort, excitement and unforgettable landscapes in one of the most spectacular settings in the Mediterranean.
If you are passionate about cycling or simply want to experience a unique sporting event, the Gran Fondo Lloret Costa Brava is an occasion not to be missed.
