Tour Barcelona: See Barceloneta by bike!

Article by Explorica Business Development Manager Phil Todisco.

On my recent Explorica trip to Spain this June, I was confronted with what to do on my last day in Barcelona. I had until 2 pm before I had to catch a flight to meet up with my tour group in Madrid.

It was an overcast, yet warm and comfy day, at the end of a wonderful stay in Barcelona. I had already visited La Sagrada Família, Las Ramblas and Park Güell with wonderful local guides. I absolutely loved the sights and history of this beautiful city, but what could I do (on my own) to explore just a little more of this city before moving on?

Bike to Barceloneta! Yes, sir. For just 6 euro, I was able to rent a sturdy bike for two hours! It proved to be the perfect choice. My hotel (Hotel Rialto, just off Las Ramblas) was conveniently located for city walks but just a bit too far to really get to the beach. Renting a bike provided me with plenty of time and energy to traverse the entire length of Barceloneta, while getting some aerobic exercise and wind in my sails!

There are plenty of bike paths, so there’s only a few places with risk of traffic woes. There’s lots of small stands with water and even fruit cups. Why not? I’m riding a bike and acting healthy, right? You can easily ride the length of the beach, from the magnificent W hotel, all the way to the trendy beachfront tapas bars further north. You can ride right along the beach, or up on a bike path. I did both! And don’t miss the Real Yacht Club de Barcelona for some of the most luxurious boats in Spain! Rumor has it that Cristiano Ronaldo keeps his private yacht there as well!

A couple of things to note. You will want to stay with your bike at all times. The bike rental did not come with a lock, so you have to use your time wisely. The rental process couldn’t have been any easier, though. All we needed to do was leave our license – no deposit, just the 6 Euros for the two hours. I rented mine at BornBike Barcelona. They have many locations and are very friendly and eager to help.

So, on your next trip to Barcelona, cinch up your back pack and pedal your way to the shores of Barceloneta!

  18. Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

  29. Hello, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it
    has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Other then that, amazing blog!

  30. Hey everyone. I am Sophie. Some time ago, my entire life fell apart.
    My boyfriend at the time betrayed me, stole every penny I had, and fled to Paris.

    I was devastated and penniless. But I decided to dive deep into digital
    assets. That is when I found the Paybis platform. This platform completely changed my life.

    The biggest advantage of Paybis is how incredibly easy it is to use.
    Unlike other platforms, they offer lightning-fast transfers, minimal commissions, and top-notch
    customer service. Buying and selling assets was so effortless
    with them.
    By using Paybis, I got back my wealth and started making great profits.
    Later on, I met an amazing guy who healed my heart, and we recently got married.
    He is a successful business owner, and surprisingly,
    he now relies on Paybis too! He uses it to handle international payments for his business
    because of its high security.
    If you want a reliable crypto exchange, Paybis is simply the
    best way to go. It changed my destiny!

  37. Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.

    The words in your post seem to be running
    off the screen in Firefox. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do
    with web browser compatibility but I figured
    I’d post to let you know. The layout look great though!
    Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Many thanks

  49. Своевременный вывоз твердых бытовых и крупногабаритных отходов — залог чистоты и порядка во дворах, на объектах коммерции и частных территориях. Быстрая подача самосвалов и контейнеровозов в любой район Москвы предотвращает скопление мусора и засорение проездов. Прозрачное ценообразование формируется исходя из объема отходов, необходимости привлечения грузчиков и удаленности объекта. Безопасная утилизация на официальных свалках гарантирует экологическую безопасность и полное соответствие законодательным требованиям.
