Gravel cycling around Barcelona is amazing, there is no doubt about it!

In this private guided tour, we will lead to the mountains surrounding the city, in the Collserola range of mountains. We will be cycling in gravel paths with amazing views over Barcelona. Aprox 50% wide gravel paths, 20% paved backroads, 20% asphalted bike paths, 10% urban streets.

Why choose Collserola for your gravel tour?

The highlight of the trip is always the church at the top of Tibidabo mountain, which is at 500 mts height. You will get impressive views of the city!

Cycling around Barcelona mountains can be tough, but you can also choose an easier trip which is a flat path following the river Besos and then river Ripoll. You can enjoy a great day of cycling. In addition, you can finish with lunch after the ride at some local tapas restaurant.

Our gravel fleet: Giant Revolt bikes

We have some great Giant Revolt bikes equipped with 35 mm tires and Shimano GRX group set, so you can enjoy both the roads and the gravel paths at its best, all in all upon a nice gravel bike ready to ride.

In all our tours we can fully customise the experience in terms of distance and difficulty, so we will adapt the tour to your needs, even on the way.

Gravel Cycling around Barcelona is great, even if it’s a big city you will love the cycling around!

A rocky road to the top of Barcelona!
Claudio and I did the GRAVELING CYCLING RIDE AROUND BARCELONA ON together 6/2. We climbed a total of 2,971 feet (906 meters) to Tibidabo . . . the site of the church atop the hill viewable from down in Barcelona that was built in 1966, that also has a small amusement park for children there built in 1910, The ride amounted to 28.7 mi (46 km) over 3.5 hours. The ride is primarily gravel with a few short sections on tarmac. Claudio is an enthusiastic cyclist who has created a terrific company that rents bikes and organizes tours in the Catalonia area. He is a great guide who creates very interesting rides (this ride with incredible views of Barcelona from above), follows safety protocols and offers his customers high quality bicycles that are well maintained. Claudio is highly recommended if you are a cycling enthusiast and wish to view Catalonia from the saddle of a bicycle.
I rented a Specialized Diverge from Claudio for a self-guided trip in the Eastern Pyrenees. The bike was exactly as advertised. The trip itself was phenomenal with lots of mountains, farms, and medieval towns. Lodging and food were very reasonable.
I also did a day trip with Claudio in the hills above Barcelona, which was well done. If I needed to rent a bike or wanted to do a tour in the Barcelona area I would not hesitate to use Montefusco cycling again.
