By bicycle from Gràcia to Sant Martí

Looking for a breezy Barcelona ride? Start in the hip Gràcia neighborhood, known for its indie shops and Gaudí’s colorful Casa Vicens. Your route covers just under 5.6 km, perfect for a laid-back ride east toward Sant Martí.

You’ll cruise mostly on dedicated cycleways (about 80%), which keeps things chill and safe. The path is fully paved—mainly smooth asphalt—so you won’t need to worry about bumpy surprises. There’s a gentle descent overall, making the ride feel surprisingly easy, with only a mild climb at the start.

The journey takes you from Gràcia’s lively, local vibe to the energetic, modern district of Sant Martí. Once you arrive, maybe check out Parc del Poblenou or head toward the beach for a quick dip or some tapas. It’s a great cross-town spin, letting you see two very different sides of Barcelona with hardly any hassle!
