A combined entry for the three-race Gran Fondo 360 circuit is also available. Full details are on the official website.

Why ride it

Lloret de Mar is a well-known Costa Brava resort, so the event gives you a chance to combine a sea-level start with the roads of the Girona coast. Held in March, it is an early-season test before the spring calendar fills up. Riders who complete all three races of the Gran Fondo 360 series receive three finisher medals and an exclusive jersey.

Where to stay

With an 08:00 start in Lloret de Mar, sleeping in town the night before means a short spin to the start line instead of a pre-dawn transfer, and a shower and a sea-view stroll waiting once the 160 km or 90 km is done. Lloret and its neighbours along the Costa Brava have a good choice of cycling-friendly places that already know what a March fondo weekend asks of a hotel.

L´Azure Hotel – Lloret de Mar, in town (about 0.2 km from the start area). A Cycling Friendly Silver hotel in the centre of Lloret, opened in 2021, with a bike station for safe storage, lockers, tools and a pressure washer for the bike. A spa, gym and heated pool take care of tired legs afterwards, and the hotel offers route information for the days around the race.

Helios Lloret de Mar – Lloret de Mar, about 0.4 km from the start. The hotel says pro riders stay here while preparing for big tours, and it offers bike racks, washing of cycling clothes and special menus. The spa and massage services suit a post-ride recovery, and its own list of local climbs includes Turó de l’Home and Alt de Sant Hilari.

El Trull Apartaments – Lloret de Mar, about 3 km from the start. Villas and apartments with kitchens, private pools and gardens, ideal if you are travelling with a group or family. The free-to-use Cycling Center has individual stands and locks, a washing area, a basic workshop with air compressor and an e-bike charging point.

GHT Hotel Neptuno Tossa – Tossa de Mar, about 7 km from the start. A family-run hotel close to the beach and old town, with a garden, pool and jacuzzi. Its Cycling Friendly Bronze bike area has 15 safety hooks, a repair bench, a rack, an inflation point and water for washing bikes.

Sumus Hotel Stella & Spa 4 Superior – Pineda de Mar, about 15 km from the start. A renovated four-star near the beach and the train station, with spa, massage, lockers and indoor trainers. Riders can use the hotel’s route information and the Montnegre corridor, a good option if Lloret is full.

Event weekend fills quickly, so book early, and browse more cycling-friendly accommodation to find the right base.
