Bike Tour of Barça

Hello World,

Today we had an incredible bike tour of the city. It was sooo much fun, definitely my favourite thing Ive done thus far. It was a beautiful day, sunny - no clouds and ranging from 12-15 degrees C ! We started our tour in the Barrí Gothic area of Barcelona which is a more Gothic and Roman style of an area, and then continued to explore the lower part of the city. It was a lot of fun to bike around and see so much on a bike!

My favourite part was going to the beach and seeing the Mediterranean Sea. The beach is beautiful and clean and there were even people surfing !!! The waves were enormous, and the water kept creeping up on us while we were trying to take pictures on the beach. Our bike tours were divided into 3 groups and we had Marta as our tour guide (she is the program director for Barcelona at API). So we learned about various parts of the city and its history.

After the bike tour we headed to get some lunch and found a place that had paella. I shared a mixed paella with my friend Liz, which consisted of vegetables, shrimp, chicken, spare ribs, squid, mussels and of course rice. It was sooo good, and now have had the most Spanish things to eat/drink: paella, sangría and tapas!
