Overview

If you are visiting Barcelona and would like to make the most of your time here, I invite you to discover it on two wheels with me, a seasoned and knowledgeable guide. With more than 260 kilometers of cycling paths, Barcelona is a very "bike friendly" city to visit. Starting in the historic "Gothic Quarter", then traveling to the "Eixample" neighborhood which was built following the demolition of the medieval city walls, we continue on to the Olympic Village, biking along the beautiful Barcelona shoreline to Port Vell (the old port). Join me for an exciting, entertaining and informative journey. While discovering most of Barcelona's well-known sights, you will also learn about the city's history, urban development, architecture and political landscape. Antoni Gaudí's "must-see" creations, the extraordinary Sagrada Familia, Casa Milà (also known as "La Pedrera") and Casa Batlló will be the highlights of this tour.
