I had a 3-day window in between a business trip and a family vacation and Jaume was able to find a…read moreway to work in a mini tour for me. BikeCAT was about the 3rd cycling tour outfit I called in Girona. Juame's responsiveness and flexibility made it an easy call to go with him. We started corresponding around December time and answered all the questions I peppered him over the course of the 3 to 4 months. I went with a 2-day tour and 2-night stay at the Hotel Historic at the heart of the old city center. Xavier over at Historic (another great place to consider even if you're just visiting Girona) has worked closely with Jaume and the 2 hand off taking care of me - especially the getting me feed part! They are much as a team so I really had to think of the overall cost as 2 packages in one. Bike - Jaume had a challenge with fitting me (a size 48cm frame) with a bike for the 2 days I was here. We ended up using a 51cm Felt from a the Pro Garmin team with modifications to the handle bar to accommodate my 44cm wide preference and stem, saddle position and stack height. It seemed a bit strange at first but the fit was spot on right so I was very happy I didn't have to fiddle with anything. Tour - I've requested an early March time so this was a gamble with the unpredictable weather. Also, being one of the first guest of the season, I was the only rider. Nevertheless, Jaume took care of me and was ever vigilant to watch after a new rider from the US who was used to wider and straighter roads. On the second day, young Albert came along for the ride to keep company as well as learn the ropes of the business. I honestly had a great time - usually a quiet rider even in large group rides - Jaume put me at ease keep good company adjusting to my riding style and doing all the support you would expect. Jaume was even provided photographer service. Got a few good pictures to remember the experience. In looking back, I really have no complaints about the cycling adventure I had and BikeCAT has meet and exceeded most of my expectations. Girona was all that I had hoped for; historic European city, a fantastic cycling community and a quiet change of pace from the busy city hub of Barcelona. The weather mostly cooperated with us (save the cold morning temps - that's just from my spoiled southern California perspective). If I had the time to do this again, I would definitely go with Jaume and BikeCAT preferably in a larger group setting. If you're in the market for a memorable cycling adventure, I highly recommend Girona and BikeCAT.

They also have an amazing wine selection, takeaway, I can attest to being scrumptious, even pizzas! There is everything and more. I also want to emphasize the incredible restaurant that is linked to the pastry shop, which undoubtedly enters my top 3 restaurants to go to eat every day. Congratulations for the great work and for the treatment you give to the clients.

The commode and sink were in one room and the shower in another. The shower was quite roomy and tall enough, which sometimes can be a problem for me in old buildings. The common areas and stairway were very, very ornate and too cool. We just loved this place. It had a nice courtyard for the breakfast, which was a very nice breakfast. The front of the hotel facing the beach was also a restaurant and was where the breakfast was served. The staff was friendly and helpful. There was parking available at €26 per day at their sister hotel, the dolphin. It was very tight getting my Volvo SUV in there that I'd rented. This was just a very cool place to stay!

I'm not sure why anyone would expect any server to speak several languages. I am traveling with my small dog, barely speak any Spanish, let alone Castilian Spanish, and I ordered food just fine and received excellent service! I highly recommend El Pati!!!
