About this guide
Barcelona has some great running options. Every route is a journey through architectural marvels, lush parks and seafront vistas. Clock miles surrounded by stunning views. But remember to protect yourself from the city’s intense heat: always stay hydrated and wear a cap or bandana. And as you lace up your running shoes, remember the golden rule: “Always look up!”.
