Steel Donkey Bike Tours of Barcelona

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

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

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! 🙂
