The perfect MTB route through Barcelona to become acquainted with the city limits, the surrounding mountains, and to enjoy spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea.
After meeting at our starting point, Club de Tenis Valldoreix (you can opt to use our transport from the Barcelona city centre), we will adjust our bikes, and you will be given a short briefing of the route and some basic safety rules.
This MTB route through Barcelona follows the Besós River, the city's natural limit to the north. After warming up for a few kilometres we meet up with the GR92 trail towards Collserola cemetery (natural limit to the west), where you can enjoy numerous paths and singletracks as admirable as any alpine landscape. We will ride by the church of Sant Iscle, a beautiful 12th century Romanesque temple, and we will then come to our first challenge: riding up the "matamachos", which means "macho killer" in Spanish. The name says it all! And for the braver souls out there, we can follow this incline with the "rompechulos", which roughly translates as "the ego buster". We'll let you guess how it got its name! ;-)
We will ride by the natural park that gives its name to the sierra surrounding Barcelona to the west, Coll de s'Erola (Collserola), and then take the road towards Can Borni until we reach Carretera de les Aigües, a popular track where Barcelona natives go to do sport. From there we will ride down to Avenida Diagonal, where our van will be waiting to pick us up and take us to our initial starting point.
Once you have finished this MTB route, you will receive a personalised SPIN Report.
