You push off from Passeig de Gràcia as morning light chisels the city’s stonework — the air has a faint Mediterranean salt and the bike lane hums beneath your wheels. Over four hours the group threads between modernist mansions and Gothic alleys, pausing for the Sagrada Família’s forest of spires and the sinuous facade of Casa Batlló. The guide times stops so you catch façades in flattering light and a mid-ride pause in Gràcia to sip a café and watch local life unspool.
