The province of Girona is one of the best destinations in the world for training triathletes. Costa Brava and the Pyrenees combine the Mediterranean climate with a varied terrain and top-level facilities, three elements that make this area an essential destination for training and developing your full potential in swimming, cycling and running.
The province of Girona boasts a Mediterranean climate, characterised by warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters.
The average annual temperature is 23 degrees Celsius; during the hottest months it can reach over 35 degrees, while the winter months can reach an average minimum temperature of 2 degrees.
These temperatures make it possible to maintain an active training routine without severe climatic constraints all year round, which is particularly beneficial for maintaining fitness even when it is not competition season.
Girona is a Catalan city strategically located between the mountains and the sea. Just 40 kilometres to the north are the Pyrenees, an imposing mountain range with spectacular scenery. And to the east it overlooks the stunning Costa Brava, which stretches along the Mediterranean coast from the town of Portbou to Blanes.
This privileged geographical position makes Girona an ideal starting point for all kinds of outdoor sports.
Although the pleasant temperatures and the orography of the territory allow the practice of sporting activities for a large part of the year, it is essential to have sports facilities, not only to continue training when weather conditions prevent outdoor training, but also for the rest of the year.
In these three towns in the province of Girona you will find infrastructures and facilities for practising the three sports disciplines that make up triathlon.
