We start on the flat ground of Barcleona´s city steets, where our destinations call us from a distance.
As a group, we pedal through city streets until the closely-packed apartment buildings that define urban life start to give way to more open spaces.
Inclines steadily rise is as the landscape shifts from concrete and asphalt to smaller roads, dusty hilltops and more tranquil neighborhoods.
Concrete gives way to snaking dirt trails that wind their way through emerald pine forests.
Rest your legs and recharge at a local watering hole where tables rarely see tourists walk through the doors.
A few more minutes of riding and you´ll hit another mountaintop. Enjoy the views once again before coasting down to Parc Guell, Gaudi´s famous public space replete with dazzling architecture and shady pines.
