You pull the bright yellow GoCar onto a sunlit avenue, the Mediterranean calling at the end of the street. The compact electric car hums to life and the integrated GPS voice becomes your local guide — pointing out Gaudí façades, weaving you toward sandy bays and a few well-placed shopping stops. In three hours the city sheds its scale: Gothic alleys give way to broad promenades, and the sea keeps nudging you toward a pause on the sand.
