Barcelona: E-Bike Photo Tour with Tapas & Pro Photographer

Summary

Barcelona’s icons by e-bike with a photographer guide and beachside tapas

You’ll join a small group in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter for an easy e-bike ride led by a professional photographer guide. Capture Gaudí landmarks like Sagrada Família and Casa Batlló, then unwind at Barceloneta Beach with fresh tapas and drinks. Expect laughter, local stories, souvenir photos—and maybe even a little sand in your shoes.

What’s the experience like?

Jordi was already waiting outside Cervantes 5 when I rolled up, fiddling with his camera strap and grinning like he’d just heard a good joke. “You ready?” he asked, in that way locals do when they’re not sure if you’ve had your coffee yet. The Gothic Quarter was still stretching awake — shutters creaking open, someone’s radio echoing down the stones. We wobbled onto our e-bikes (I’m not a natural, honestly) and Jordi pointed out how the old Roman walls just sort of melt into medieval alleys. I tried to imagine gladiators here but mostly just noticed the smell of baking bread from somewhere close.

I didn’t expect to feel so free zipping up Passeig de Gràcia — the bike lanes in Barcelona are everywhere, which made me relax a bit. We stopped at Casa Batlló and La Pedrera; Jordi showed me how to frame Gaudí’s weird chimneys against the sky (he said “weird” too — I liked that). When we reached Sagrada Família, he handed me his old lens for a different angle. There were tourists everywhere but somehow it felt quiet behind the camera. I probably took too many photos of pigeons.

At Arc de Triomf, some kids were chasing each other under those big red bricks and Jordi told me about the 1888 World’s Fair like it was yesterday — he really knows his stuff but never lectures. By the time we hit Barceloneta Beach, my legs were only pretending to be tired (e-bikes are sneaky that way). We sat on a low wall eating salty olives and jamón on crusty bread. The sea breeze carried fried fish smells from nearby bars. I tried to pronounce “escalivada” right; Jordi laughed and corrected me, then snapped an unflattering photo as proof.

I still think about that last shot — sunlight bouncing off wet sand, my shoes half-buried in it. The ride back was quiet except for seagulls and Jordi humming something Catalan under his breath. Not everything went smoothly (my helmet kept slipping), but maybe that’s why it felt real.
