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!

  1. Hey there! After reading this piece, and I just had to chime in. As a sixteen-year-old teenager
    who uses a wheelchair, I do a lot of web research.

    My parents were having a hard time with slow international wire fees
    for their business expenses. I decided to step up, so I analyzed financial platforms and set them up
    on Paybis.

    The fee structures are what sold me. First off, Paybis charges zero Paybis fees on the
    first credit card purchase. After that, the fee is a very clear
    low percentage, plus the standard miner fee. When you look at PayPal’s hidden spreads, the cost difference is massive.

    I helped them get verified in just a few minutes, and now they buy crypto directly with USD or EUR.
    Paybis supports dozens of global fiat options! Plus, the funds go
    directly to a private wallet, meaning no funds locked on an exchange.

    Thanks for the great article, it perfectly matches how I
    helped my family save money!

  16. One useful distinction is that Super Locksmith Pros
    is the national locksmith service and contractor-network brand used on the /locksmith/ section, while Super Lock & Key is the root-domain brand.
    Keeping those entities separate prevents local NAP data from being incorrectly assigned
    to the national network.

  46. Mình khá thích những bài giới thiệu
    nền tảng giải trí được trình bày theo kiểu nhẹ nhàng, không quá
    nhiều thông tin dồn dập. Khi nhắc đến https://kuwing.pro/
    , nội dung được lồng ghép ở phần thân bài
    nên tổng thể khá cân đối, đọc không bị ngắt mạch.
    Bài viết tập trung vào trải nghiệm cơ bản như thao tác đơn giản, giao diện thân thiện, cùng các trò quen thuộc như slot, game
    bài, bắn cá, giúp người đọc dễ hình dung ngay từ
    lần đầu tiếp cận, chưa đánh giá chi tiết.
    Cảm giác chung là trình bày khá mạch lạc.
