If you’re heading to Cataluña – also called Catalonia – in northeastern Spain, you’re in luck. The area is perhaps the most visited region of Europe and home to the city of Barcelona, a magnet for tourists from all over the world. Cataluña has four main airports: Barcelona International Airport – the big one – Girona-Costa Brava Airport (around 95 km to the northeast of Barcelona), Reus Airport to the south, and Lleida-Alguaire Airport to the west.
Motorcycle hire and scooter hire is available from some of these airports, as well as in the city of Barcelona itself. However, its always best to rent your motorbike online and before arrival to avoid disappointment particularly during the high seasons. Cataluña travelers can enjoy a wide variety of sight-seeing activities.
Perhaps the most popular is the Basilica de la Sagrada Familia, a unique cathedral and UNESCO World Heritage Site. You might also want to pay a visit to PortAventura, an adventure park, or the Jardines de Santa Clotilde, a beautiful park and garden located near the coast. For those looking to relax on the sand, Fenals beach is a good option.
It sits in a beautiful bay and provides water sports opportunities. If you get quad hire and want to go further afield, there are many other cities to explore besides Barcelona, including Lleida, Tarragona, and Girona. You might also want to travel north to the mysterious and reclusive mountain state of Andorra.
By far the best way to see the region is on a rental motorcycle. This gives you quick access to both cities and natural beauty spots, such as Parc Natural de Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac.
