Girona has become one of southern Europe\u2019s cycling capitals, and there is one event that confirms it every year: the Shimano Sea Otter Europe Costa Brava-Girona by Garmin. In 2026, the festival celebrates its tenth edition from 18 to 20 September, with the expo area, competitions and recreational rides all taking place around the Pavell\u00f3 Municipal de Fontajau in Girona. To enjoy those three days without logistical hassles, get a good night\u2019s sleep and head out for a ride along the coast, choosing where to stay makes all the difference. <\/span><\/p>\n In this guide, we tell you what to expect at Sea Otter Europe 2026 and which GHT Hotels are designed with cyclists in mind: with bike storage, a workshop and a great base from which to combine the festival with cycling routes along the Costa Brava and the Maresme.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The festival works as two events in one: a major industry trade fair and a huge sporting programme for all levels. Over the weekend, Girona and the Costa Brava fill with people on two wheels. Here is what you can expect:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”41952″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1457788581707{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1457789015745{padding-top: 33px !important;padding-right: 42px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Girona city fills up during the festival, so many cyclists choose to stay on the coast: it allows you to combine the atmosphere of the trade fair with training rides by the sea and a more peaceful place to rest. These are the destinations connected with the GHT Hotels Group that offer accommodation prepared for cyclists and visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Calella, on the Barcelona-Maresme Coast, is cycling territory par excellence (with road, mountain and leisure cycling routes) and a convenient base thanks to its railway station with connections to Girona (changing at Ma\u00e7anet-Massanes), an alternative worth considering during the festival. GHT Hotels has two very different options here:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lloret de Mar combines a strategic road location for reaching Girona with a long tradition of sports tourism and options for all types of trip:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For anyone who wants to cycle in the morning and properly switch off in the afternoon, right in the heart of the Costa Brava:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you are looking to stay closer to the festival while adding a holiday with plenty of character, Tossa de Mar is a great base: you can cycle along the winding road that skirts the cliffs of the Costa Brava and return to a town with medieval walls and a beach. It is also the destination with the largest GHT Hotels presence:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Practical note: Car access to Tossa\u2019s historic area is restricted. If you are staying near the old town (as at the Neptuno) and arriving by car, it is advisable to provide your number plate to the hotel when booking or during online check-in.<\/b><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”40654″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”41957″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Sea Otter Europe 2026 is one of the biggest dates on the cycling calendar, and combining it with the roads of the Costa Brava and a hotel with bike storage is one of the easiest ways to enjoy it. Choose your destination within the GHT Hotels Group \u2014Calella, Lloret de Mar, Platja d\u2019Aro, S\u2019Agar\u00f3 or Tossa de Mar\u2014, get your bike ready and book your stay on the official GHT Hotels website.
