FRIBIT / RIDE NOTES

5 stops · Half a day with breaks · Easy urban ride · Start Disseny Hub · Finish Mar Bella

Across Poblenou, look for the traces of old factories beside contemporary studios and creative spaces. Check access before entering Palo Alto; the sea is the finish, not a box to tick.

Total distance and cycling time: check your current bicycle navigation. Allow additional time for exhibitions and coffee.
