My second day in Barcelona started with an awesome morning bike tour of the city. I was immediately drawn to Steel Donkey Bike Tours because they are not your typical city bike tour. They are quiet unique bike tours that let you discover a different side of Barcelona, the one you don’t find in the guide books. Every tour differs from the next one, so you never know what sort of surprise is waiting for you. Another great part of this tour is that the group is always small and intimate which makes for a much better tour altogether.

The beautiful Santa Maria del Mar Church
This corner head indicates that this used to be a brothel
The streets used to be labelled this way indicating which way the traffic went
This amazing little gem of a shop has been roasting nuts the old fashioned way since 1851
We actually got to sample some roasted nuts, and let me tell you they definitely taste pretty special and nothing like your store bought nuts
Soon enough, it was time for lunch and we headed to La Concepcio Market for a yummy lunch
Enjoying our delicious lunch

If you happen to be in Barcelona and are looking to explore city in a different way, I highly recommend Steel Donkey Bike Tours. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed! 🙂
Beautiful images! I’m jealous! I was looking for images of La Sagrada Familia. Did you get any? My husband and I plan to visit Barcelona in the near future! I have this thing for that cathedral!
yes I posted one just recently from one of my hotels. I was on a scheduled press trip so I didn’t have free time to visit unfortunately on this trip, but will go next time for sure
Hey Jelena, That was an awesome trip indeed! Nice meeting you guys! Looking forward to your other blogs about Spain and TBEX. I`m working on mine right now, including one on the La Sagrada Familia that might be interesting for…the Island Girl as well! 😉
