Quick ride by bicycle from Gràcia to Sarrià-Sant Gervasi

Roll out from Gràcia’s maze of narrow streets and lively squares, then pick up the signed cycleways heading toward Sarrià-Sant Gervasi. It’s a short hop—about 2 km—but expect a steady climb of roughly 50 m with hardly any downhill. Most of the way is smooth asphalt, and you’ll spend the bulk of it on bike lanes and quiet roads, with a few living-street sections and a tiny pedestrian bit—roll easy or dismount if signed.

Gràcia brings the bohemian vibe: think cozy plazas and Modernisme gems like Gaudí’s Casa Vicens nearby. At the finish, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi trades bustle for leafy, upscale calm. Duck into the old village center of Sarrià, or keep climbing toward Tibidabo if you want bigger views over Barcelona. Bonus: treat yourself at a classic bakery like Foix de Sarrià.
