On our Off The Beaten Track tour we set out to explore quieter corners of the city and pedal around hip local districts like El Born and Poblenou.
Poblenou is Barcelona's most bike-friendly district, with its network of bike lanes, quiet streets and even a number of car-free zones. It's also home to some of the Catalan capital's best architecture such as the iconic cucumber-shaped skyscraper, Torre Glories, amongst others.
Despite these modern additions to the barrio, Poblenou remains a remarkably local district with its own bustling rambla, scenic village squares, leafy parks and food markets to visit.
We'll also delve into the Old Town district with its narrow medieval streets, awe-inspiring Gothic churches and lively terraces, full of locals snacking on tapas and sipping on cervezas.
Our guides will introduce you to some of the city secrets, dusty treasures, street art and hidden corners, before taking a refreshment break at a local market, tapas bar or chiringuito (beach bar).
Maybe the most beautiful beach of Barcelona. Bustling beach featuring a wide stretch of sand that is very popular for volleyball and sunbathing.
Nova Mar Bella is the result of the urban renewal that took place for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. This beach is a firm favourite with Barcelona locals and is one of the most peaceful in the city.
Poblenou's most emblematic square is lined by white 19th-century homes of fishermen from when Poblenou was still a fishing village in the outskirts of Barcelona.
