It rarely rains in Barcelona, but when it does, it pours. But don’t let the rain stop you while biking in Barcelona because it is still the best way to enjoy what the amazing city has to offer. There are two things to know about a rainy day in Barcelona. First of all, it is unlikely that the rain will last all day. In fact, it usually rains intensely for about an hour, and then everything gets back to normal. Secondly, when it rains, everybody scrambles for some shelter and the streets are left virtually deserted – especially since most people use bicycles to get around. This means if you plan the rainy day well, you will have lots of opportunities to explore as soon as the rains stops. Here are some tips that might help.
Escape room

When it rains, the first instinct for most people would be to dash into a café for coffee or a snack as they wait for the rains to subside. If you had watched the weather report in advance, you could plan your day better to have more fun when it starts raining. Gather your friends and take an escape room challenge. Here is how it works – you are locked in a room that has clues for solving puzzles. The puzzles will lead you to keys and the final puzzle solved will give you the key to unlocking the door to get out of the room.
There are lots of themes to pick from so you can pick a theme you are comfortable with or you can even decide to challenge yourself by picking a theme you aren’t too good at. As long as you are good at solving puzzles, you should be good. To make it even more interesting, you can make it your goal to escape the room by the time the rain stops. This way, you can get out just in time to continue biking around the city.
Wine tasting

Another smart way of whiling away the time as you wait for the rain to subside is to go for some cava or wine testing. Spain is a wine country, so you are sure to find lots of excellent wine testing places around Barcelona. If you are looking for a match to the French Champagne, then the famous Cava of Spain is what you have been looking for. You will most likely love the wines so much that you might be tempted to carry a bottle or two back home so make sure to have some space for that in your bags.

It is almost impossible to make the most of the rain when you do it spontaneously. It is better to plan so that you know how best to plan your bike tour Barcelona itinerary. The only way to do this is to check the weather report the night before. If rain is forecast in the morning hours, you can plan to bike in the afternoon and do some other activities in the mornings and vice versa.
