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!

  5. Have you ever considered publishing an ebook or guest authoring on other websites?
    I have a blog based upon on the same ideas you discuss and would love to have
    you share some stories/information. I know my readers would enjoy your work.
    If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e-mail.

  11. certainly like your web site but you need to check the spelling on quite
    a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with
    spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to tell
    the truth then again I will certainly come back again.

  16. A motivating discussion is worth comment. There’s no doubt that that you ought to publish more on this subject, it might not be a taboo subject but usually
    folks don’t discuss these issues. To the next! Best
    wishes!!

  17. I’ve learn a few just right stuff here. Definitely price bookmarking for
    revisiting. I surprise how much effort you place to make any such magnificent
    informative website.

  18. What you published made a ton of sense. But, think
    on this, suppose you added a little information? I ain’t suggesting
    your content isn’t solid., however what if you added a post
    title that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean Tour Barcelona: See Barceloneta by
    bike! is a little boring. You should look at Yahoo’s home page and
    note how they create article titles to get people to click.
    You might add a video or a pic or two to get readers interested about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.

  42. Partial loss: Where your structure has sustained damage, but does not need to be rebuilt from
    the ground up. You may need to fix walls, flooring, or some other
    part of the structure. Roof claim: A commercial roof can be
    a complicated and expensive part of your property.

    Unfortunately, many insurance companies simply refuse to pay for
    legitimate damage to roof systems. Our successful experience in property insurance disputes and other high-stakes litigation could be a tremendous
    asset as you seek a fair settlement from an uncooperative commercial insurer.
    Our clients have included restaurant owners, manufacturing companies, auto dealers and others for whom
    any severe property damage or business interruption can prove
    crippling. Doyle Dennis Avery LLP Trial Lawyers has an impressive track record of success at trial when insurance bad faith is a
    factor-such as when insurers unjustifiably deny
    or delay a claim or misrepresenting coverage. Further, our
    use of professional experts sets us apart from other insurance
    litigation firms. When we handle property insurance claims,
    we do not just take estimates provided by insurance
    adjusters. We hire contractors and adjusters who are able
    to conduct a thorough, independent evaluation – providing us with a
    detailed, comprehensive estimate on the damage to your business.
    This allows us to seek the amount in claim compensation that will
    help you have a full recovery. Contact a commercial property lawyer at Doyle Dennis Avery LLP Trial Lawyers Today for Your Property Damage Claim.

  48. Hello there, You’ve done a great job. I’ll definitely digg it
    and personally recommend to my friends. I’m sure they
    will be benefited from this website.

  49. I have been browsing online more than three hours
    today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and
    bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be
    much more useful than ever before.

  50. My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress
    on a variety of websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to
    another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
