On 28 June you’ll be able to download FREE tickets to gain admission to the venues of the two Girona festivals to be held from 22 to 24 September.

Although the tickets will be free of charge, they’ll be limited in number, so, given the high demand in recent years, it’s advisable not to leave things until the last minute, as access to the tickets is expected to be closed before the festivals are held. Last year, with almost 60,000 visitors, they were almost full to capacity.

The start of the great international cycling event held every year in Girona is fast approaching. The weekend of 22 to 24 September will witness the seventh Sea Otter Europe Costa Brava Girona by Continental and the second Euro Mobility Festival. As in previous years, it will be necessary to gain admission with a ticket to control the entrances.

Admission is free, but you must have a ticket to gain access to the festival in a safe and orderly manner. Your ticket will provide access to the two events for all three days and it will be personal and non-transferable. Children under five years of age do not require a ticket and must be accompanied by an adult.

New feature, extended opening hours

This year, the opening day on Friday will be extended, with the festival opening at 12 noon.

Festival schedule:

• Friday 22 September 2023, from 12 pm to 8 pm
• Saturday 23 September 2023, from 9 am to 8 pm
• Sunday 24 September 2023, from 9 am to 3 pm

The festival will be held in Girona, next to Fontajau sports hall. In the areas close to the festival there will be free non-supervised parking areas and a free shuttle service from the car parks furthest from the festival will also be provided. There will also be bicycle storage facilities for visitors who choose to cycle to the festival.

A jam-packed sporting programme

A few weeks ago Sea Otter Europe Costa Brava Girona by Continental presented the usual wide-ranging sporting programme. This is one of the factors accounting for the success of the festival, with different events in all the cycling disciplines for all types of visitors, from the world’s elite professionals to amateurs and enthusiasts of all ages. Everyone can choose their type and level. Here’s the sporting programme for 2023. Registrations are now open for all of them.

A long list of brands will attend the festival

As usual, a long list of brands of bicycles and accessories will be present at the festival, with all their new products for the coming season and, of course, the demobike test to try out hundreds of bicycles on the test circuits that will be set up for all the kinds of bicycles on display, including the urban transport elements of the Euro Mobility Festival, which will have their own accesses and test circuits this year.
