Today we had Emily and Chuck, from Denver (Colorado) doing our Barcelona hills tour. Our cycling tours in Barcelona get to the top of Tibidabo, the summit of Barcelona mountains, at 500 mts height. The Barcelona hills tour is a demanding ride that includes 3 or 4 climbs and a total elevation gain of 1400 mts, but we can fully adapt the tour in terms of distance and difficulty. You can see that our Barcelona cycling tours are demanding tours, they are not city tours at all! As said, we had lots of climbing and some heat but also a lot of fun!! In our cycling tours in Barcelona, we can adapt distance and difficulty to your needs. We also include pick up/drop off at your hotel in Barcelona, then you don't have to worry about transportation. You just have to focus on enjoying it! After a short drive to the starting point, we start the tour once we are out of the busy city center and we can start cycling from the very beginning. During all day we will be in the mountains surrounding Barcelona, and we can shorten the tour anytime if this is needed. We are looping around Collserola range of mountains but never too far from the city.

Today we had Jaime from Mexico doing one of our road bike tours in Barcelona. Road cycling in Barcelona is a fantastic experience for those loving cycling or loving outdoor sports. We have a number of nice hills to ride without traffic very close to the city, in Collserola range mountains. The highlight of any cycling trip is the climb to Tibidabo, at 500 mts height. From the top of the mountain (where there is an amusement park and a church) you will get the best views of the city. Even if they are not very big nor steep climbs, the tour itself is a demanding ride. The full version is 83 km long with 1400 meters elevation, which is a bit! We include the climbs to the Cemetery of Collserola, Forat del Vent, Tibidabo, and Creu d'Olorda. The most demanding parts are a couple of kilometers in La Rierada neighborhood. After a very steep descent there are a couple of tough sections in which you have to give it all! Especially because it is at the end of the tour, on the way to Creu d'Olorda, which is a fantastic solitaire road. Nevertheless, our bikes are equipped with compact crank 34-50, and 11 speed (usually 11-32), so there is a good chance to get to the top! As we can adapt the tour to your needs, we can make the tour shorter, as from the top of Tibidabo we can descend straight to Barcelona instead of doing the last loop in Collserola range of mountains. In our Barcelona road bike tours, you will always have great views and a good workout. No doubt about it!

When you visit Barcelona and you are into cycling, there is one place you want to get with your bike. This is Basilica del Sagrat Cor del Tibidabo church, at the top of the highest mountain surrounding Barcelona. You can see it from every point of the city, and specially at night, as it is illuminated. Iconic destination for all Barcelona inhabitants, very well known for every local, and specially for children, as at the top of the mountain, just beside the church there is an amusement park. Surprising to learn that amusement park is much older than the very church! The amusement park was open early XX century, but the church was just finished in 1961. Some different approaches to the summit. We consider 4 different sides cycling to Tibidabo church in Barcelona: - La Rabassada. One of the most popular climbs from Barcelona. Starting at Ronda de Dalt, road leading to Sant Cugat. Great views over the city. - Climb from Via Augusta (Barcelona). This side goes through Vallvidrera (steep part when crossing the village), and can be finished with a very steep part just getting to the parking area. Volta a Catalunya professional race had a stage finish right there. - Climb from Sant Cugat. About 7 km long, it is not a very steep climb. Really worth. This side connects with La Rabasada side about 1 km to the summit. - Molins de Rei side. Santa Creu d'Olorda. Fantastic solitaire road in the middle of the forest. This road gets to Vallvidrera, and then shares the road with Via Augusta side. Once at the top you have to enjoy the views over the city. Magnificient viewpoint at 500 mts above sea level, which you reallly deserved if you cycled up there. If you climb some stairs
