Description
This Barcelona bike tour is led by a guide who lives in the city, and it is built around the stories behind the streets as much as the pedalling. The ride takes two and a half to three hours, on a standard bike or an e-bike, and the group sets the speed.
The route links two very different sides of Barcelona. In the old town you move through the Gothic Quarter and El Born, then you head out to the wide boulevard of Passeig de Gràcia, where one ride brings together Casa Batlló, then Casa Milà, and finally the Sagrada Família. On the way the guide talks about the city's famous residents, Catalan traditions and the past behind the facades, and the route also cuts through a few parks.
You also get the guide's own recommendations for the rest of your stay in the city.
