You'll have time to take photos and enjoy Barcelona's stunning skyline as the sun shines over the sea in the Mediterranean climate.
On the way back to our starting point, we'll drop off the bikes and pick up the espadrilles you created at the beginning of the workshop. By the end of the tour, you'll have all the information you need to get around Barcelona like a local, along with your own handmade souvenir.
