It was just announced that Barcelona will be the starting point of Vuelta a España 2023. It will be a team time trial into the city, and a second stage in the mountains around Barcelona. The last time La Vuelta arrived at Barcelona was in 2012, stage Andorra-Barcelona with victory for the Belgian Philippe Gilbert ahead of the catalan Joaquim Rodriguez (picture on the left). The usual ending point of the stages in Barcelona is Montjuic, the mountain where the Olimpic Stadium is (Olympics were in 1992). Only once so far Barcelona was the starting point of La Vuelta a España. It was in the remote 1962 with the stage Barcelona-Barcelona, which winner was the basque Anton Barrutia. On the other hand, Barcelona also made part of the most important Grand Tour: Le Tour de France. Barcelona hosted the Tour in 1957, 1965 and was stage ending in the Tour de France 2009 in the stage Girona-Barcelona. The winner was Thor Hushovd. Of course, Barcelona is usually the ending point of the local professional race Volta a Catalunya. This race, by the way, celebrated recently its 100th edition. Then, this is big news for the Barcelona cycling community, hosting the start of Vuelta a España 2023. It will be a nice opportunity to show the world what our city has to offer to the cycling fans!

All of us into cycling love having a nice beer when finishing a ride, don't you? Bikes and breweries match, and it is becoming a very popular way to know a city or a region. Also in Barcelona, of course. Even if we are focused on serious cycling on carbon road bikes, we love sharing with our visitors this part of the Catalan culture, and at the end of a demanding ride tasting some nice beer in a local place plenty of charm. They are very few such pleasant things to do after a bike ride! Our tours around Barcelona are demanding and plenty of climbing, that's one of the main attractions when cycling in Barcelona, but once we finished, it is time to enjoy ourselves and find a great place, being a small brewery or one of the main Catalan beer producers. By the way, they are Damm and Moritz. Let us recommend especially Moritz, as they have an amazing tapas restaurant in which you can enjoy not only the several types of beers but also some very nice tapas. Then we have some small breweries which are totally worth to visit and taste their beer such as La Cassette. They also love bikes, so that's a plus! Bikes and breweries in Barcelona match, no doubt! In case you don't need such a demanding ride, we can also adapt the route to your needs. We can customize the tour for you and your group, as we are focused on private tours. We also have some e-bikes to make a little easier the tour. This way, some not-so-fit friends can join the ride! Bikes and breweries in Barcelona are one of the best ways to get to know the Catalan way of life. Join us to discover it!
