Bike, Eat and Love … in Barcelona
The idea of a perfect summer is a
combination of delicious food, sun, beach and activities we love to do.
Barcelona, the capital city of Catalonia has got all of it at once for not only
affordable prices but also with unique atmosphere bringing visitors and travelers
from all around the world. During our recent visit we had a chance to
experience it for a few days and now we are going to show you our favorite things to
do. Stay tuned and find out more…
1. Bike – Due to its ideal geographical location
directly on Mediterranean coast of Spain, you can commute around the city on
bikes. BornBike Barcelona offers you the possibility to discover the city
by bike. The guided bike tours are
designed to enjoy a perfect blend of culture, art, fun and are ideal for corporate
events, students, tour operators, families and friends. The lovers of art and
architecture can opt for a tour through history of the city, from gothic to
modernism; fans of gastronomy can lose themselves in the narrow street and
become familiar with typical dishes and taste Tapas.
2. Beach – Barcelona has been named the #1 Beach
City in the world by National Geographic and its beaches are well known. Barceloneta
beach, which is only 5 minutes’ drive from BornBike
shop is 422 metres long and is one of the oldest and most traditional in the
city. It is a favorite amongst foreign visitors, and also youth groups and
schools, who often use it for activities. You will find yourself surrounded by
many fellow bikers as it is bike friendly like many locations in Barcelona.
Food and drinks can be bought in nearby cafeterias or bistros so don’t miss to
pay a visit to beach with your friends while being in Barcelona.
3. Food – the Catalans pride themselves in great
food and so is Barcelona. You will not only find more than 20 Michelin stars
restaurants but also local cuisine with high quality and reasonable prices. We
have tried delicious burgers at Salt, W Barcelona with magnificent view of
Barcelona’s skyline but also dished at famous local market called La Boqueria
where we tried variety of ham and cheese as well as fresh fruit juices. The
tradition which you need to try while in Barcelona is the tapas which is appetizers,
or snacks such as mixed olives and cheese or fried baby squid. Bornbike can also organize your ideal
tapas tour based on your preferences.
4. Football – Camp Nou is a home stadium of FC
Barcelona and if you are a true fan of the club, you cannot miss it. They offer
a unique experience to visit the museum go through the history, and see the
biggest achievements and awards. During more than 2 hours you will get a chance
to discover the locker rooms, press area, mixed zone as well as step at the
same grass where Messi, Neymar and others have before you. While getting the
insight you can carry away your own personalized souvenir or take a picture
with a trophy. Perhaps next time you are
in Barcelona you will also see the Champions League’s trophy which is their next
big goal.
5. Shop - If you love to shop then you're going to
love Barcelona. Barcelona offers around 35,000 shops; the city is also home to
the famous 5 km shopping line stretching from the top of the Ramblas, through
Plaça de Catalunya along Passeig de Gràcia and up Avenue Diagonal. Much of the
shopping line is also accessible with your bike from BornBike making it a pleasant experience to wonder from shop to
shop without worrying about traffic. You will find designed brands, high street
marks and shopping malls and do not forget that import tax is not included as
many major brands such as Zara or Mango come originally from Spain.
If you prefer your own itinerary,
you can simply rent your bike for few days and find the best routes throughout
the city. Whether you will spend some time on the beach, eat through the local
restaurants and bars, see FC Barcelona match at Camp Nou or shop till you will drop your Barcelona experience will
be not be the same without BornBike. For more detailed information regarding
