What's on your doorstep

Pick your adventure

From Girona's legendary cycling roads to Cap de Creus hiking trails and Bay of Roses water sports — there's something for everyone, all year round.

Road & Mountain Cycling

Girona — the world's cycling capital — is on your doorstep. Epic climbs, café culture, and routes for every level.

Hiking

Cap de Creus National Park — wild trails, hidden coves, dramatic headlands.

Kite Surfing

Consistent Tramontane winds on the Bay of Roses — a kite surfer's paradise.

Skydiving

Jump over the Costa Brava and see Casa23 from 4,000m. Tandem jumps for all.

Sailing

Charter a yacht from Roses marina and explore the wild Costa Brava coastline.

Experiences tailored for all four seasons

Casa23 is open all year round

Winter

The roads are empty and the light is extraordinary. Perfect cycling conditions, peaceful hiking in the national park, and the hot tub after dark with mountain views.

Spring

Warm days, wildflowers across Cap de Creus, and the Tramontane filling the kites on the bay. The best cycling season — ideal temperatures and quiet climbs before the summer crowds.

Summer

Sailing from Roses marina, skydiving over the coastline, and long evenings on the terrace watching the sun set over the bay. The infinity pool is the best seat in the house.

Autumn

The Tramontane returns with the best kite surfing of the year. The sea is still warm, the trails are empty, and the landscape turns golden. Cyclists call it the secret season.

On the bike
