Inside this former 19th-century market, you can see the preserved ruins of an entire 18th-century neighborhood destroyed after the 1714 siege. From the elevated walkway, we view original streets and houses while explaining what happened in 1714 and how it changed Barcelona’s history. We found an old part of our history underneath this beautiful market.

C'est ici qu'eut lieu l'Exposition universelle de 1888. Plus tard, ce parc fut le lieu de villégiature de Picasso et de sa famille.

The building was originally constructed in the 18th century as part of a military arsenal within the Bourbon citadel built after 1714. Over time, it was transformed and today houses the Catalan Parliament, where regional laws are debated and approved. During the bike tour, we explain how this space evolved from a symbol of military control into the democratic institution that represents Catalonia today — a powerful example of how Barcelona has transformed its history.

This grand fountain was designed in the late 19th century, with early collaboration from a young Antoni Gaudí. Inspired by classical triumphal arches, it features dramatic sculptures, golden details, and a monumental waterfall that makes it one of the highlights of the park. During the bike tour, we take a short break here to enjoy the setting, explain its connection to Gaudí’s early career, and give guests time for photos in one of Barcelona’s most beautiful green spaces.

En parcourant l'un de nos plus beaux parcs de la ville, nous pourrons apercevoir le majestueux Arc de Triomphe.

Cette partie du front de mer a été complètement transformée pour les Jeux Olympiques d'été de 1992. Ici, nous aurons l'occasion de découvrir ce que ces jeux ont signifié pour la ville de Barcelone.

During the bike tour, we ride along Barcelona’s beautiful beachfront, enjoying a relaxed and scenic stretch by the Mediterranean. We pass wide cycle lanes with open sea views, local beach life, and iconic spots along the coast. It’s one of the most refreshing parts of the route — flat, easy, and perfect for soaking in the atmosphere while riding comfortably by the water.

At the end of the coastal stretch, we reach the breakwater next to the iconic W Barcelona. Here, right by the edge of the sea, you get one of the most open and striking views of the Barcelona skyline — with the Mediterranean on one side and the city stretching behind you. It’s a calm and spacious spot, perfect to pause, feel the sea breeze, take photos, and enjoy a unique perspective of the city before continuing the bike tour back toward the historic center.

We also pass by El Cap de Barcelona, a striking pop-art sculpture by Roy Lichtenstein located near Port Vell. This colorful mosaic face combines bold lines and bright ceramic tiles, blending modern art with the Mediterranean light. Inspired by comic-style aesthetics, it represents the playful and creative spirit of Barcelona. It’s a fun and unexpected stop during the bike tour — perfect for photos and a quick explanation of how contemporary art became part of the city’s seafront identity.

La Basilique Santa Maria del Mar, ou comme les Barcelonais la connaissent : la Cathédrale de la Mer. Cette basilique gothique emblématique du Born a été construite par les habitants de ce même quartier pour nous protéger de la mer.

Nous vous emmènerons dans un dédale de ruelles où, au Moyen Âge, tous les artisans avaient leurs ateliers. Aujourd'hui encore, cette atmosphère est omniprésente. Vous y trouverez des vêtements faits main, des bijoux, etc.
