Barcelona benefits from its privileged location on the Mediterranean coastline and near the Pyrenees. There are also dozens of urban parks and green areas to explore in the city and more yet to come. This is a perfect city to take part in a seasonal water sport, enjoy hiking near Barcelona, or try other local outdoor experiences.
The Collserola Natural Park and the Montjuïc Mountain are right at the top of the list for size, points of interest, and great viewpoints they offer to residents of Barcelona.
However, for the very best outdoor activities in Barcelona, you should consider leaving the city for a day. You will not regret it!
You can get around Catalonia using a fairly reliable public train system called Rodalies de Catalunya or hire a car and have the freedom to explore the hidden gems we will give you now.
Probably one of the most popular outdoor experiences from Barcelona is the Montserrat hiking experience which follows narrow trails leading to breathtaking vertical drops and stunning panoramic viewpoints. This symbolic and mystical mountain attracts big crowds as well as many locals who want to live the spiritual and natural experience at the Benedictine Monastery in Montserrat.
There are two alternatives to the Montserrat hiking experience. Both places offer equally rewarding panoramic views with fewer tourists. Sant Llorenç del Munt Natural Park and Montseny Natural Park provide a beautiful natural area for a great hiking experience from Barcelona. The parks are an hour’s drive from the city center.
Our expert recommendation is to buy a topographic map for either park from Editorial Alpina. You will find these hiking maps in any decent bookshop in Barcelona. The map will become handy when you lose the cell phone reception.
Before setting off check the weather forecast one more time, and last but not least don’t forget to bring your hiking shoes or boots to Barcelona to have the ankle stability and grip needed for the ups and downs.
For more daring and experienced hikers the Northeastern Pyrenees boasts an extensive array of high-mountain hiking trails with mountain huts to satisfy the most demanding explorers. The three most famous Catalan high mountain circuits include Carros de Foc, La Porta de Cel, and Cavalls del Vent. These three circuits represent a multi-day trekking that often requires careful planning.
Andorra, the Catalan Pyrenees, and Pyrénées-Orientales usually become accessible for the multiday trekkings from late May to the beginning of October depending on the snowfall throughout the winter.
Another amazing and partially protected natural area in the Northeastern part of Catalonia is Costa Brava. It offers a whole bunch of adventure and water activities just an hour’s drive from Barcelona. Costa Brava day trip is almost like a ‘must-see-and-do’ outdoor experience from Barcelona.
If you can squeeze it into your busy travel plan it will be the single most memorable experience from your holidays in Barcelona. The beauty of the rugged coastline, deep turquoise lagoons, and striking green pines provides a beautiful contrast to somehow tiring Barcelona city sightseeing.
If you visit Costa Brava from May to October don’t forget to bring swim clothes and a snorkeling mask. Diving into the gin-clear Mediterranean Sea and snorkeling amongst underwater crevices is a fantastic outdoor experience alone. Just don’t expect to see any dolphins or whales as they have learned to stay away from people.
You can also find multiple companies renting sports equipment right off the beach in the main summer season. This will typically include some SUPs, kayaks, wind-surfs, foils and kite-surfs.
Having the option to kayak along the wild cliffs in Costa Brava. And finding hidden bays and lagoons to swim in, cliff jump and snorkel is one of the highlights of our kayaking tour.
Barcelona is a great place for a party. A combination of a wide range of clubs and music scenes, reasonably priced drinks and meals, and mostly good weather attracts thousands to celebrate a lifetime event.
