Excursión ciclista de un día de Sarrià-Sant Gervasi a Sant Cugat

This ride takes you from the leafy neighborhood of Sarrià-Sant Gervasi in Barcelona up to the charming town of Sant Cugat del Vallès.

Most of the route is on well-paved cycleways and quiet roads, with minimal car traffic, making it a relaxed and enjoyable ride.

You’ll start off near the Collserola hills, a green escape from the city bustle. Sarrià-Sant Gervasi itself is known for its elegant streets and proximity to the Parc Natural de la Serra de Collserola—a perfect gateway for many local cyclists. As you pedal north, you’ll get to soak in some great views and enjoy a mix of urban and natural scenery.

Finishing in Sant Cugat, you’re greeted by a picturesque old town and its famous Romanesque monastery. It’s a popular cycling destination, with plenty of cafés for a well-deserved break. All in all, a lovely ride through some of the best green spaces on Barcelona’s doorstep!
