→ Tour Description
The Barcelona XL Running Tour is a combination of the best of our Old Town, Modernism and Early Bird tour. The 21k/13 miles distance option is almost flat and we will run a relaxed pace along the highlights of Barcelona. Perfect for everyone who loves running and sightseeing at the same time. And perfect for everyone who wants to cover as much of the city as possible on one tour. For sure a great help for the rest of your stay in Barcelona with lots of information and recommendations.
But even the Barcelona XL tour option is not the top end of our tours! We have the XXL distance option for you. 25k/16 miles of the best of Barcelona. The extra distance will take us to the Montjuïc Hill and along the Olympic Park, stadium and passing the World's Fair conference center of 1929. For sure a highlight of this tour option and very single meter worth of running - including some pretty nice views over Barcelona.
The Barcelona XL tour is a little challenge - but 100% worth to do it!

The Weather - Rain or Snow
You should turn up at the meeting point as usual, where your guide will advise, if it is necessary to postpone the tour. Tours will usually go ahead, even if it is raining.
Please check your emails and your phone! Or just contact us if you have any doubts.
What should I bring to the Tour
Beside of a big smile, you should be prepared for the weather conditions during the different seasons. So normally light running equipment is absolutely sufficient for the summer climate. Especially in late spring and summer we always recommend to use any kind sun protection.
An extra bottle of water during summer season is recommendable. We will point out on water fountains with drinking water if available.
Should children join us on a tour, then it should be in summer time obligatory to use caps and sun protection (sun lotion SPF 50+).
And don't forget, we can have sometimes also some rain! So please be prepared yourself by checking the weather forecast and with a light rain jacket.
Can I take Photos along the Way
Of course, you can at any time of your tour! Just let us know when you like to stop to take a photo.
By the way, we also take photos with our GoPro action cameras during the tour. So don't forget to smile at any time! After the tour, we will upload the photos to Dropbox (to the cloud) and send you a link by email. Just follow the link to have a look at the photos and of course, download them.
This service is of course without extra charge. Here is a link to see some examples of photos we have taken on our tours >> Tour Gallery
Unfortunately, the quality of the tour photos depends on light conditions and weather (rain, sun). So, we can't give you any guarantee on the quality of the photos we will take during your tour. But we do our best.
