The Col Collective's video: The Costa Brava Coast Sant Grau - Cycling Inspiration Education

Stretching 256 kilometres from the mouth of the River Tordera, northeast of Barcelona, and running all the way up to the French border, the Costa Brava coast was named after the Mediterranean's wild and rugged coastline. Temperate winter conditions and gentle rolling roads mean it has a lot to offer for cyclists, so we thought we'd check out a 46km stretch from Sant Feliu de Guíxols to Lloret de Mar. Naturally it wouldn't be The Col Collective without a climb so we take a slight detour and head inland for a 6.3km climb up to Sant Grau, where the views get even better! Start: Sant Feliu de Guíxols Finish: Lloret de Mar Distance: 46km Highest point: 475m Elevation gain: 1,051m Sant Grau Climb Length: 6.3km Elevation Gain 354m Average Gradient: 5.5% Max gradient: 14% I hope you enjoy the ride!
