Placa Catalunya

Your adventure begins right in the buzzing heart of Barcelona. This lively square is where old meets new — the perfect place to adjust our bikes, meet the group, and roll out together.

10 min
Our first Gaudí stop. Casa Batlló looks like it’s made of bones and dragon scales — a fairytale facade full of hidden stories. We’ll pause to admire its details and hear the legend behind it.
-
10 min
A short ride brings us to another Gaudí icon. With its flowing stone walls and surreal rooftop chimneys, La Pedrera is one of the Eixample district’s highlights — and a photographer’s dream.
-
Basilica de la Sagrada Familia
10 min
Get ready for the big one. We’ll stop for a good look at Gaudí’s masterpiece in progress. It’s a stunning mix of faith, ambition, and wild imagination — truly unlike anything else.

Plaza de Toros Monumental de Barcelona

We pedal past Barcelona’s last bullring, now a museum. Its striking Moorish design is a glimpse into Catalonia’s shifting traditions and history.
-

Ride under this grand red-brick arch, once the gateway to the 1888 World’s Fair. It’s one of the city’s best backdrops for a quick group photo.
-
10 min
Next up: a breath of green. We’ll cruise through this beloved park, past fountains, shady paths, and the golden chariot on the famous waterfall.
-
10 min
From park to port — we roll into the Olympic marina built for the ‘92 Games. Today it’s all about boats, modern art, and sea views.
-
10 min
Barcelona’s famous beach life in full view. We’ll stop here to relax by the sand, snap photos, and soak up the sea breeze.
-
Stop 10
10 min
At the base of La Rambla, we circle the statue of Columbus pointing out to sea — fun fact: he’s pointing the wrong way. We’ll share why!
-
Rambla Del Raval
10 min
Into Raval for a quick stop at the neighborhood’s famous giant cat. This area buzzes with street art, cafés, and a colorful mix of cultures.
-
MACBA Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona

Our final stop: Barcelona’s hub for modern art, skating, and urban energy. Even from outside, MACBA’s crisp white building is a bold contrast to Gaudí’s organic style.
