After checking out the neighborhood’s most important highlights, we will set our focus on Modernism, crossing the Eixample district and marveling at its iconic Modernist architecture. L'Eixample was designed by Ildefons Cerdà after 1895 , to expand the city. (The word “Eixample” actually means “expansion” in Catalan).

Crossing the streets of this elegant neighborhood, you will remark that Cerdà’s idea of urban planning was revolutionary and utopian.

This was Barcelona´s 19th-century answer to the overcrowding of the medieval city and Gaudi´s favorite neighborhood to work in. In Eixample, you will pass by some of his most spectacular works, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Casa Batlló and Casa Milà.

Alfredo was a skilled, smart, and engaging tour leader. He was so patient and told great stories. Good ride on mostly flat surfaces through diverse areas of the city. Alfredo even gave us extra time for the tour. I would do this again but I would want a smaller group. 15 was too large when considering the traffic lights and varying skill levels of the participants.

Barcelona is a big city. There’s so much to see on all fronts - beach, old city, new city, Olympic/FC stadium. This tour covers many spots in the beach/old/new city from the beach front to Olympic sculptures to Cascada fountain to Arc De Triomf arch to City centre to Gothic quarter. We got a very good overview through this biking tour. Our tour guide was very friendly and explained all the attractions and city culture in detail. We walked to the beach the day after the tour on our own and could relate to all the information from the tour.

Thé tour was by far, the best activity I could have done in Barcelona! Alfredo was the best guide! It felt like spending a few hours with a friend, showing us around, and not with someone doing their job. The cycle was easy, the stops were ideal and they came with a history lesson ( Alfredo had this well put together folder with timelines of Barcelona, it was amazing). I 100% recommend it! Alfredo is such a credit to the company! Thank you, for the best understanding I could have had of Barcelona, on my first of hopefully many more visits to come. Jo
