About this tour
Pedal through Barcelona's neighbourhoods on an electric bike, letting the motor handle the grunt work while you take in El Born's medieval lanes, Parc de la Ciutadella's greenery, and the waterfront at La Barceloneta. This 3.5-hour guided tour finishes at a local restaurant where you'll taste Spanish tapas paired with wine and cava alongside your group.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide and be fitted with an e-bike (lightweight frame, easy to mount), then set off at a leisurely pace through Barcelona's older quarters. The electric assist means you're not racing; you'll stop regularly for the guide to point out landmarks, snap photos, and catch your breath. Expect some bike-lane riding and a few quieter streets, plus a coastal stretch where you can feel the sea air. After roughly two hours of cycling, you'll arrive at a neighbourhood restaurant where the group sits down together. Tapas arrive in waves—cured meats, patatas bravas, croquetas, depending on what's fresh—and you'll taste a glass of cava, then red or white wine. Total time on the bike is around two hours; the rest is food and chat.
Good to know
Kids aged 10 and up can ride their own bike (or 140 cm height minimum); younger children fit in a pram or use a specialised seat. No hotel pickups, but public transport stops are nearby. Bring sunscreen and a light layer. The pace suits all fitness levels since the motor does the work.
