Santa Susanna 2013

Poco Loco Cycling is proud to announce a brand new location for it's road and mountain bike training camps.

Santa Susanna a beautiful location in the Costa Brava, only 60km north of Barcelona and 35km from Girona, making it an ideal holiday destination within close proximity of two major airports.

Santa Susanna has some fantastic road routes, with a choice of a relaxing coastal ride or a more demanding mountains ride, which includes many of the legendary climbs used in the Vuelta a Espana!

Very close by is the Montnegre nature reserve with over 100km of amazing trails, quite simply a mountain bike paradise!

Santa Susanna is one of the Maresme villages that conserves the most ancient watchtowers. They were built from the 15th to 18th centuries to defend against pirate attacks and, of the seven still in existence, two can be visited, one is currently home to the railway station and the rest have been incorporated in private houses.

Poco Loco Cycling & Hike & Bike are looking forward to taking you on some unforgettable rides!
