Barcelona bike tour self-guided: Barcelona and Catalonia are among the premier foodie regions of the world and the Barcelona Foodie Short Bike Tour will give you plenty of indulgent foodie experiences along your journey! This shorter version of our longer 7-night Culinary Bike Tour also starts in Barcelona. We do recommend arriving a night early as Day 1 is a riding day, leaving Barcelona. Your welcome orientation will be first thin in the morning at our Barcelona bike shop!
The experiences just get better as you stay in top-quality lodging and have included gastronomic dining experiences on several nights! The gently rolling countryside will take you from the coastline to inland Medieval villages, dotted in between by sunflower fields, rice fields, and vines. Being coastal, seafood is a specialty of many chefs in Costa Brava and we give you a private experience later, followed by a private wine tasting at a local wine maker’s bodega. On this private, self-guided bike tour from Barcelona to Girona, you will meet local people, enjoy top-quality lodging and food, and get away to the quiet of the countryside and the peace of the beaches and coastline.

Our trip to Spain was fabulous! We spent two weeks there with our son’s family, and our two teenage grandsons said the bike ride was the highlight of the trip. My husband and I are so glad we went with them and were able to keep up with them:) My son loved Madremanya and the restaurant there. My daughter-in-law, one grandson, and my husband were able to golf while in Pals. The bike shop and transfer service were both super! It was such a positive experience for our multi-generational family visit to Spain!
Just what we were looking for with scenery, cycling, and food! No issues and very easy to navigate, which had been our biggest worry.
If you are looking for a short bike tour in Spain that gives you an authentic experience in, this is it! I’m already planning to come back and repeat this trip with a group of girlfriends – can’t wait!
To start, we received such a warm welcome at the start of the tour. Our welcome briefing was so detailed, we had every question answered. All of our nervousness and worries were eased (this was our first bike tour.) We absolutely adored the two hotels that were part of this tour – if we were to do it again, I would probably add an extra day at each place, just to relax and enjoy the area a little more! That said, the length of this tour really was the best fit for our busy schedules, and it was just the right amount of cycling for us. We both had e-Bikes, which made the whole experience very relaxed. It was a great vacation, from start to finish, and we now feel like we can tackle another self-guided tour – no problem!!
Just back from our family’s bike tour in Catalonia and we cannot say enough good things about this trip! Everything was perfect, from start to finish. The tour’s length worked perfectly for our family – our kids are “grown” and have limited time off of jobs. Working with Pure Adventures for all of the planning and changes wentsmooth, and the local bike shop in Barcelona provided excellent services and equipment. The kids are already chattering about where to go next year!
