Fantastic experience: We have taken several classes through the company with Grazyna and Raul, and they have been very helpful to us. They are very experienced professionals and attentive at all times to the group, proposing dynamics and exercises adapted to each person, both in the room and on the Reformer machines, which have all been a discovery for me. I recommend them 100%!

Fantastic experience: Great treatment from the entire team at Gran Fondo Palafrugell, I was thrilled with the biomechanical study with Toni, I have noticed a lot of improvement on the bike. Very professional and 100% satisfied.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: July 2024 I looked for a center where I could rent a bike to take some routes during my vacation, and not only was the service perfect, but I also signed up for their scheduled outings and was able to enjoy the surroundings and good company. If I can, I will return.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Had a great gravel ride in Empordà with their rental bikes. A bit of counseling on the cool tracks/routes could have been better (they just said they had no clue), I had to figure that all by myself. For the rest it was amazing: great quality bikes and kind service.

Fantastic experience: Super helpful, thank you

Fantastic experience: Excellent store and unbeatable service. Toni did the biomechanical study for me and I've noticed a lot of improvement with my Caledonia 5. Although I've only been able to take my bike to their workshop once, Alberto got it in perfect condition. Great professionals and what can I say about the outings and community they have? Well, they are definitely worth it and there is a great atmosphere! In short, bravo to the whole team!

Fantastic experience: Can there be a better club in a more beautiful place than the Costa Brava? I don't know, but what I can assure you is that they are the best in route design, support, and with an organization that improves year after year, leaving you with the feeling that, 'nothing can go wrong'. As amateur cyclists, we enjoy every pedal stroke, devouring the landscape in every season of the year, knowing that the best heritage 'is right at our doorstep'. What luck I have! Thank you GF Community ????‍♀️????‍♀️????‍♀️

Five Stars and Two Thumbs Up!

They had it fixed in minutes and even swapped the battery into the other seatpost I brought along. The other products and services they offer also look amazing. 10/10 would very much recommend.

Fantastic experience: These folks were wonderful! Great bikes, and they delivered them to our hotel, later came by to check on us, and then picked them up in a different location. Very, very service oriented!

Fantastic experience: When you arrive, you can see that it is a different place. I rented carbon gravel and everything has been easy. A mechanic was there for custom adjustments. A great coffee and pastry before leaving. We returned when they were closing and they were waiting for us with a smile. I have repeated 5 or 6 times and the experience has always been good.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: I have rented gravel bikes twice from Gran Fondo in Palafrugell and the service is very good. In my case, I called to book and the next day at 8 am they had everything ready for me and the equipment is top quality. Highly recommended!

He also is a previous Olympian in the 2008 Olympics for track cycling which made it even more fun. Strongly recommend.

A great experience: at Gran Fondo they have very good quality material, the service was excellent, and the facilities are very well located, with a large parking area to leave the car and start biking from there. Additionally, they have a changing area for you to comfortably change and even a bar. Definitely a super center dedicated to the world of bicycles and very well managed. We will repeat. Ana

Fantastic experience: Excellent place. Ariadna served us very well. Highly recommended
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Absolutely outstanding bike store! I’ve travelled the world cycling and you would struggle to find a better bike store in any country or city with such a broad range of services. Bike rentals, mechanic, bike fitting, physio, cafe, spin classes, retail store and free parking right outside the shop. I rented one of their Cervelo bikes for 4 days while on a holiday in Begur and rode one of their shop rides and had a blast. The area is outstanding for cycling, particularly if you like rolling country and some punchy climbs. In my experience the team at Gran Fondo Community will really look after you, have outstanding attention to detail and are just all round lovely people. In my personal view they are "world class"!

Fantastic experience: Thank you, Alberto, workshop manager. Super professional, fast, and efficient. We need more people like him. Congratulations.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: superb

Fantastic experience: We rented road bikes for 4 days and the bikes were in good condition and offered very good value for money. One of our riders had an incident one day and Gran Fondo fixed the bike straight away. The bikes were delivered to our hotel at the correct time and we will use Gran Fondo for our next stay in the area as well.

Fantastic experience: Simply stunning, a center dedicated to bicycles and electric bikes. They offer: bicycle sales, café, gym, spinning classes, outdoor terrace, and bike rentals. Workshop run by Alberto, who is a highly qualified professional in the repair of electric and non-electric bicycles and will advise you very well in diagnosis and repair. All the staff are very friendly and prepared to inform you of any doubts or questions you have for your new bicycle purchase, spare parts, or clothing. Remember that this shop is at the back of the shopping center and you can access it through the parking lot. If you need to repair the bike, Alberto told us it's best to book a time and day. Congratulations on this monographic center dedicated to bicycles. Today (17.10.23), they just installed the LCD screen and the seat post on my Giant Stance bike. Alberto is a great mechanic and as always so attentive and with good information about all the products he can install or simply inform you about, and was also well assisted by Raúl at reception. Thank you.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Rented our racebikes here. Very nice shop. Good service. They organize rides almost every day which you can join. Did a 80 km ride (27 km/h avg) today and absolutely loved it. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Quality service and kindness. Thank you very much for the repair.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Pure detail and kindness. From entering the route into the garmin, to the detail of overlooking some marks after a bump, and only worrying about my fall. Rarely do you see this kind of customer service. Highly recommend it a thousand times over, and without even mentioning the amazing facilities and varieties they have. Sometimes people just win us over.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A show, four mechanics couldn't solve the problem I had with the bike, I spoke with Alberto, the workshop manager, and incredibly, in a moment he left the bike spotless. Congratulations to Gran Fondo for having such professional people.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Superb service, very skilled mechanic and super friendly people!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic shop and helpful team. We rented three gravel bikes which were very reasonably priced, especially considering their high specification and quality, and the team were all really helpful. I will definitely rent from them again when I am next in the area and would recommend very highly. They have a brilliant café as well.

Positive experience: Good
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Excellent, highly recommendable. The bikes are in perfect condition and the staff is very friendly and attentive. They advised us very well on the choice of both the rental bikes and the route to visit the towns around Begur and Pals. They have parking on the rooftop of the shopping center.

Congratulations and success for this business!

Fantastic experience: Excellent workshop service, Alberto solved a problem with my wheel just hours before starting a trip in France, he was very resourceful with great professionalism, efficiency, and excellent attention
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Superb repair job after I'd screwed up disc brakes with oil on them. Worked perfectly coming down Rocacorba next day! Great tune up, and spotted and fixed the little things like handlebar tape without even being asked. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Delighted with the work they do and highly recommended!! I decided to contact them to start with road biking and I am super happy! They have helped me overcome fears and insecurities and are supporting me in my process of trying automatic pedals! They are very trustworthy and good-humored people, and the place is perfect for bike lovers!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: After going through several workshops and not having any solution, they gave me excellent service, and my bike looks like new. You have gained a customer. Thank you for everything!!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: they have a great range of bikes at really good prices. I rented a mid-range Giant road bike and a high-end Cervelo and both were great. We also rented a range of mountain & gravel bikes for the whole family (kids to grandparents) and they were great too. all the staff I met were very friendly and helpful and we had nice post-ride food at the café too.

Positive experience: Very good mechanical assistance!! Overall, we are delighted, thank you!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: I came to buy an accessory for the bike and mentioned that I had a problem with some clips from new shoes 'I'm not a regular customer', they solved it for me in ten minutes and didn't want to charge me for the clip service, thank you. Congratulations on the store and the service you provide. It won't be the last time we see each other.

Fantastic experience: A group of us rented 4 road bikes for a week. The bikes were ready on time and in great condition. The staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke excellent English. I would highly recommend them and would certainly rent from them again.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful bikes and excellent service!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic bike shop, helped me out when I forgot to bring my di2 charger with me on holiday. Very nice set up too, with a cafe, toilets, and plenty of bike parking outside. Not instantly obvious how to get in though - go through the supermarket entrance if on foot, or drive/ride round the side and up the ramp. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Finally, I have found a place that adapts to my schedule, the attention from all the staff is impeccable, they are very attentive and aware of your progress at all times. The people in the cafeteria are delightful. The facilities are great in every sense, both in terms of space organization and cleanliness. Thank you very much for this great facility and thank you for knowing how to choose all the staff.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: High-quality facilities, top-notch advice, along with a café/restaurant where you can make the mandatory stop before/after the route. We will repeat

Fantastic experience: Boutique cycling concept with a super quality café restaurant and an integrated training center for cyclists. If you cycle in the area, you have everything you need here. Awesome
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and quick with the repairs. Happy with their service and professionalism
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Fixing the bicycle when it's something small poses no problem at all. When the damage is greater, it's better to go to a specialist who knows how to do their job. This is the case with some two-wheeled mechanics with good hands and better experience. They also have machines to fine-tune them more effectively.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Great professionals and a very friendly atmosphere.
