A route of sea and mountains
The event offers two distances:
- 160K: the full route, with 2,700 meters of accumulated elevation gain spread across up to seven climbs
- 90K: a shorter version, with 1,400 meters of climbing, designed for those looking for a more accessible experience

The Costa Brava beyond the asphalt
The route combines the coastal road, with views over the Mediterranean, and the Girona interior, with stone villages and Mediterranean forests. This variety of landscapes in a single route is one of the hallmarks of the Gran Fondo 360 circuit.
Lloret de Mar beyond the ride
Lloret de Mar is one of the most established tourist destinations on the Costa Brava, with beaches, an old town and a wide range of dining options.
