Bike holidays in Barcelona: hit the trails where sea meets mountain

Why choose bike holidays in Barcelona?

Barcelona is the perfect base for exploring the rich, beautiful landscapes of Catalonia. Choose holiday lettings in Barcelona as your base, then hop on your bike and set out on a voyage of discovery. To the north lies the Costa Brava, famed for its small, picturesque coves with perfect turquoise waters. Head south and you'll find the long, golden sands of the Costa Daurada, before arriving at the wetlands of the Delta de l'Ebre. If you go inland, the mountains are waiting for you. From the forested hills of Montseny to the rugged, enormous Pyrenees, there's something to suit every cyclist. Your cycling holiday in Barcelona lets you choose between mountains and coastal routes, cities and villages.

Where are the most beautiful Barcelona bike trails?

Serious cyclists flock to the Transcatalunya route. This is definitely not for the casual weekend rider. Stretching for 1,220 km, this epic loop is designed to show you the very best of Catalonia. If that sounds like it's too intense for you, the trail can be broken into different sections. The 450-km Catalonia Central-Pyrenees part is the toughest, while the Mediterranean section, which covers 420 km, is rather less strenuous. For something gentler, head to the Montnegre Corredor Natural Park, which lies on the coast near the city of Barcelona. There are lots of pleasant, beautiful mountain bike routes starting in the beach town of Santa Susanna. Many of these follow the coast, giving you lovely Mediterranean views as you cycle.
