Our daily bike tours (4 hrs.) ride through the Barri Gotic, visit Gaudi’s famous Sagrada Familia, roll through the Parc de la Ciutadella and cruise around the Olympic Village, Port Vell and the Barceloneta beach, stopping all along the way at points of interest to take photos and hear the fascinating history and stories of Barcelona from your excellent guide.

Late in the tour we take a break at an outdoor beach bar to relax for a bit and to enjoy the opportunity to mingle with your fellow bikers, while taking in the sights and atmosphere of the Mediterranean. Remember to bring a swim suit if you want to take a dip in the sea and some extra spending cash for food and drinks.

At the end of our tour, you’ll understand why so many people say “when in Barcelona, you have to go on Fat Tire Bike Tours!”
