If you’re passionate about motorbikes and want to explore some of the most important cities near Barcelona, I propose a 5-day route where you’ll visit incredible destinations, including the vibrant Catalan capital and nearby cities filled with culture and gastronomy.

We start the journey from Barcelona, where you can spend the morning enjoying its iconic sites like the Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, or a stroll down Las Ramblas. Then, we hop on the bike and head to Sitges, a short and delightful 40 km ride along the C-32.

Sitges:This beautiful coastal town is known for its beaches, vibrant nightlife, and charming streets full of history. Wander through the old town, visit the Church of Sant Bartomeu and Santa Tecla, and relax on one of its beaches.

Where to eat: La Nansa: A traditional restaurant in Sitges specializing in fresh seafood. Ideal for trying "xató," a typical local dish.

From Sitges, we continue towards Tarragona, about 65 km along the AP-7, a coastal route that lets you enjoy the Mediterranean as you ride.

Tarragona: This city is famous for its impressive Roman ruins, including the Roman amphitheater and the Ferreres Aqueduct. It’s also perfect for a stroll along the Mediterranean Balcony, offering spectacular sea views.

Beget: A charming stone village with fewer than 30 inhabitants. It's a quiet place where time seems to stand still. Ideal for those looking to disconnect and enjoy tranquility.

Where to eat: El Llagut: Located near the port, it offers Mediterranean cuisine with a modern touch. Don’t miss the rice dishes and fresh fish.

In this stage, we head to Valencia, the largest city in the Valencian Community, located 260 km away. We take the AP-7, a comfortable highway that skirts the coast and passes through stunning Mediterranean landscapes.

Valencia: Upon arrival, you can visit the City of Arts and Sciences, the Oceanogràfic, or stroll through the old town and Plaza de la Virgen. Don’t leave without visiting the Albufera Natural Park, a perfect place for a motorbike ride through the rice fields and lagoons.

Where to eat: La Pepica: A classic restaurant on the Malvarrosa beach, famous for its paellas, one of the best places to try this traditional Valencian dish.

From Valencia, we take the AP-7 towards Castellón de la Plana, about 75 km away. This stretch is perfect for enjoying the sea breeze and coastal scenery.

Where to eat: Restaurante Rafael: Specializing in Mediterranean and seafood dishes, this restaurant is perfect for tasting fresh fish and seafood from the area.

The last day takes us back to Barcelona, a 275 km journey along the AP-7. It’s a route that skirts the sea, once again passing through Mediterranean landscapes. Upon returning to Barcelona, you can explore areas you may have missed on the first day, such as the Gothic Quarter or Montjuïc.

Where to eat: Cal Pep: Located in the Gothic Quarter, this tapas restaurant is one of the most famous for its authentic Catalan food, where you can enjoy fish and seafood.
