The best traffic-free bike rides around Santa Coloma De Cervelló

The Castell de Montjuïc is a fortress built in the 17th century on Barcelona's local mountain, offering spectacular views of the city and the port due to its strategic location. For centuries, the military facility was not only used for defense but also served the Spanish state as a prison and execution site for the oppression of the Catalan population. Today, the renovated fortress is a historical monument and a cultural center, which visitors can easily reach by cable car.

Viladecans preserves one of the gateways to the Llobregat delta. Between cultivated fields, lagoons and coastal pine forests, this landscape demonstrates that one of the most valuable natural spaces in Catalonia can coexist with one of the most populated metropolitan areas in the Mediterranean.

The 173-meter-high Montjuïc (Catalan [munʒu'ik], occasionally spelled Montjuich in the outdated spelling) is (along with Tibidabo) one of the two local mountains of the Catalan capital Barcelona. It hosted the 1929 World Exhibition, Formula 1 and motorcycle world championship races on the Circuit de Montjuïc, and the 1992 Summer Olympics. It has long been a magnet for tourists and locals alike due to its sights and parks, and can be reached by the Montjuïc funicular and the port cable car, among others.

The Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium is one of Barcelona's most historic sports venues! Originally built in 1927 for the 1929 International Exposition, it was meant to host the People’s Olympiad in 1936—a protest against the Nazi-run Berlin Olympics—but the Spanish Civil War canceled those plans. After years of disuse, it was completely renovated for the 1992 Summer Olympics, hosting the iconic opening and closing ceremonies. Today, with a capacity of over 54,000, it temporarily serves as FC Barcelona’s home stadium while the legendary Camp Nou undergoes renovations. A must-visit for sports fans! ⚽🏅

Very very beautiful long beach near Barcelona. In the back streets you can find very nice bars and cafes. 😎

Rat Penat is one of the quintessential cliffs near the city of Barcelona. In addition to its toughness (on both sides), it offers wonderful views of the Garraf coast and the city of Barcelona. Therefore, beyond the sporting challenge, it also offers scenic interest, as it is one of the best viewpoints in this area of the Catalan coast. The most typical and challenging slope of Rat Penat is the eastern slope, which rises from the beach itself. The profile of the pass (attached is a link to the profile published by the best altimetry website, www.cyclingcols.com -- http://www.cyclingcols.com/col/RatPenat) perfectly describes its toughness. I just want to leave you with a couple of notes: the end of the first tough section, just as you pass the first viewpoint, becomes extremely tough. You should save time for that final ramp. The second note is that the final ramp before reaching the pass is the toughest. Good luck and enjoy this beautiful wall!!

It is a very pleasant climb along a narrow road with non-existent traffic. It is a stretch that is very worthwhile; I have always found it very pleasant.

Climbing the Rat Penat from its north-east side, which starts in Olivella, is also very challenging. It is easier than the coastal side, of course, but it also has very hard slopes. This final stretch is open and offers magnificent views of the Garraf coastline. I recommend it especially on pleasant autumn and winter days.
