Barcelona | The Best Way to Experience the City!

[@stevieaki4003]

Liking all your videos Freddie. Love it how every scene has some reference to Monica...then she appears smiling away. Great chemistry

[@niallmurray9725]

You sir are living the dream. Great channel. Visited Barcelona about 15 years ago, remember wandering the Gothic Quarter and the main square of las Ramblas… what a great city to visit! Time to go back soon after watching this 🙂 the scooters are a great idea too. Beep beep 🛵

[@paulbarlow3185]

Having worked there for a while Barcelona is definitely my favourite city....anywhere. Anyone going there for a holiday, it has everything, beaches, architecture, restaurants, to suit everyone. Best of all La Sagrada Familia is the most incredible building I've ever seen and the inside is just as spectacular and well worth a visit. I am so jealous.😀. Great video..... as usual. Thanks for posting Freddie. 👍

[@marksmithson7266]

Glad you like my home city. Some great riding routes too for when you are next in town with the Bonnie without having to venture too far.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Ahh that’s great to know- I was wondering this!🙂🤘🏻🏍

[@alankirby7434]

One of my favourite cities in Spain. Electric scooters looked great. I did a couple of electric bike tours last time I was there, 2 wheels a great way to see a city.

[@MarkJackson-eb4kf]

Loved the electric scooters, will definitely try those out when we visit Barcelona next. Another brilliant video Freddie and Monika, I think I enjoy watching your videos more than than anything on the TV at the moment, please keep it up, you are fast becoming my go to travel guides.

[@TANOSHII1]

This episode just reminded me of Dickie Greenleaf / The Talented Mr Ripley (film)......he also loved Jazz , scooters and the Café culture :)

[@decayintheuk]

never been to the B but that was informative on many levels and now I'm thinking you guys are having wayyy too much fun. p.s. life in blighty is a continuing nightmare, don't bother rushing back

[@FreddieDobbs]

Really glad you enjoyed the video- it is one if the most fun winters we’ve had!🙂 Ahhhhh I know- I’ve been hearing a few bits in the news and it does sound like it’s vest for us to stay away for now🇬🇧

[@dereklee9972]

Freddie, I'm a new subscriber and just wanna say I love your vlogs! There's a bit of everything in them, bikes, lifestyle, destinations....and the way you present is fantastic...big thanks to you and Monica for taking us along for the ride!

[@Alex-io6ky]

[@drbhaskardas25]

Thanks Freddie and Monika for the wonderful video. Life in Barcelona is awesome ..just awesome! Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you very much. 👍✌️🍫🍫

[@newmotorcycleguy]

i love Barcelona! and as a vegan there is tons of places to eat. my bike license update. thoery now passed. DAS for Feb booked. thinking of not getting the Mutt and straight to a street twin 900 :) really enjoying your vids

[@FreddieDobbs]

You’re so right- so many veggie places to eat! Congrats on passing your test!😀🤘🏻🏍 I think that’s a good idea- you’ll pass in no time and the Street Twin will be perfect!👌🏻👌🏻

[@OneStrokeTwin]

Great to see Monica getting some screen time in this video. Great idea with the scooter hire

[@cc3111]

Visited Barcelona for the Catalunya Moto GP a couple of years ago and was well worth a visit, a fantastic City. If you guys do decide to go again, take in the atmosphere, passion, love and sheer exhilaration of the Moto GP. Take care and happy travels guys.

[@melvinsmith4213]

[@terrysams8299]

Hi Freddy and Monica I’m in Gran Canaria for the Christmas break and decided to get on the ferry and check out some of your destinations in Tenerife . A real treat nice glass of wine on a sunny balcony watching your vlog

[@jasonadams5187]

Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thank’s Freddie and Monika

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thank you Jason!🙂

[@smrangers22]

Wow! Great, great video! I'm now thinking Barcelona is much more than I have ever imagined. Thanks for a great tour.

[@kyryloyehortsev5240]

Absolutely brilliant video, Freddie and Monica, please keep it up! I have so much fun watching your vlogs, so joyful, so informative, and all of that comes with bikes and food and coffee, couldn’t have been better! Hoping to visit Barcelona in a week time too 🙌

[@philedwards2679]

Thanks for sharing Freddie, I've never been to Barcelona and watching your video is the next best thing. Entertaining as always. Thanks again 👍😀

[@FreddieDobbs]

Really glad you enjoyed it, Phil!🙂

[@Lukeltw]

Heading to there now, i am watching this at the airport, your video makes us so excited

[@mike-A299]

I'm here right now too, visiting the in-laws for Christmas. Best city in the world and so many great memories.

[@planesplanes844]

Hi Freddie and Monica, this is another lovely vlog! My wife and I were quite disappointed by you choosing a chocolate cookie from that bakery given all the amazing looking confections in the quick shot you gave us. I said to my wife, “Freddie owes us fans a more exciting pick than that!” Kidding, of course. We look forward to the next episode. And yes, Monica occasionally joking around in the background is great!!

[@PikeCisco]

Best video since you left England. Great fun and nice to see more of Monica. Those mopeds look so cool.

[@peterhobbs7609]

Great video and travel blog Freddie, and a brilliant advert for the city, fabulous location to stay, not sure about that chai latte!,

[@nickryan1522]

And the even better news is there’s several moto sharing options in Barcelona. Yego are 50cc equivalents and there’s also 125cc equivalents for a bit of extra city nip, only car licence required.

[@robertg9496]

I am glad that you consider spending time in Barcelona, ​​surely you will have a lot of material for your videos, think that in Catalonia we have different landscapes and climates, and something very important, a lot of motorcycle culture. 🏍Greetings

[@matthewallison4464]

Another fantastic video from both of you. Especially like the opening scene, very well put together! Barcelona looks fantastic for a winter getaway!

[@aquacatgaming8372]

Love your videos, Monica, you have an excellent skill to put together great pictures, easy to watch, skillful editing 😀 Love the music you choose, great style. Just don't know what that tall chap is doing there so much 🍏

[@FreddieDobbs]

I’ve shared this with Monika!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🤣

[@johnrussell616]

You guys are having way too much fun!!. Excellent.

[@taichung465]

Such a wonderful video, well done! My wife and I visited Barcelona with another couple back in 2015. We stayed near the Ramblas and the street noise kept us up all night! Nevertheless it was one of the most enjoyable trips we'd ever taken to Europe and we hope we can go back soon. Back then, there was no electric scooter for online hire, so we always traveled by underground metro. But it was a fun experience and it allowed us to see more of the every-day city. The Sagrada Familia, Parka Guell, the Picasso museum and all the Gaudi designed buildings are absolutely memorable. The only bad memory was our friend's wife nearly having her purse pickpocketed while walking down the Ramblas.

[@HONMONSTER]

Great video you two. Great city Barcelona is one of my favorite cities ever. You have the city and by the sea all in one place Like all the different quarters the city has a got a great vibe. Next time I'm there must get one of those scooters. Thanks for all the information you provided

[@FreddieDobbs]

Really glad you enjoyed it! Barcelona really does have everything🙂👌🏻👌🏻

[@michaelclarke3684]

Great as usual, merry Christmas to you and Monica, looking forward to more of your videos in the new year

Wow Freddie and Mon! A great video and such a cool city! Great video

[@montalvoandres]

Please Freddie! Do not block the Chihuahuas haha love it! And the scooters, what a brilliant idea! So easy and simple. Thanks for the trip to Barcelona you guys! Good night or good morning! :-) Cheerios!

[@henryhartley9993]

Nice one Freddie and Monika....

[@erosqing]

Beautiful video Freddie, I like your content. Unfortunately, what for you has been super comfortable implies that Barcelona is one of the most gentrified cities in Spain. The people who live and work here have to move from the city center due to the higher price of apartments, since most of them are used for tourist apartments such as those in El Born. And if we want to live in central areas we have to mortgage ourselves for life. The essence of what this city really is will be lost more and more and only what they want to sell you will remain. Meanwhile...enjoy.

[@oblahdes]

The chai latte scene was priceless , I would've done the unmentionable🤮. Broccoli in my rice is as far as I go . Barcelona itself eluded me, Gerona, Lloret del Mar and Palamos I'd been to in the 80s. This trip caught me off guard Tenerife and suddenly main land Spain the fun never stops.

[@inkeelvalx3602]

Tremendous stuff Freddie, stuck in the howling cold of omicron island better known as the uk - cheered me up no end. Great to see you two enjoying Barcelona, the yego bikes look great fun salud!👍

[@gdfggggg]

I really enjoyed that Freddie. I've been to Barcelona and it's one of my favourite cities, so much to see and do. The electric bike looks like a great idea. Such a chilled vibe there despite the hustle and bustle. Can't wait to go back again now. I think this one has to be my favourite vlog of yours. The editing and filming is top notch nowadays. I almost felt like I was sat in that bar with you at the end enjoying a beer and having a laugh. Cheers

[@davidhall370]

Best vlog to date sir. 👍

[@backontwowheels9469]

You find those scooters in quite a few cities now, I used them in Groningen (Holland) and the beauty there is that you do not need a licence and you can ride them in the bicycle lanes. Barcelona, very nice city. Next time buy two biscuits, one for the dog 😂 Enjoy Ian Back on Two Wheels

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks for sharing this Ian- I’m delighted to hear other European cities are doing the same! And using them in the bicycle lanes- great idea! I really hope this catches on in the UK

[@DiscoFang]

Please don't feed a dog you don't know biscuits. Chocolate is toxic for dogs - theobromine. Sugar can also cause vomiting and diarrhea or just discomfort.

[@roberthardy2013]

I’m not a bike rider but those scooters look WAY cool - great mini travel vlog you two and a great place!

[@darrenmcallister1307]

Fantastic video of Barcelona, still yet to visit!! I was laughing so hard when you were told off for blocking the view of the Chihuahua!! Great quality entertaining video as always!!

That was great Freddie. Last time Edward and I were at La Grada Familia is was smothered in scaffolding. Great to see it emerging into life. Loved the scooters and Monika looked like she was having fun. That ABB looked great. Might have to start an additional Lyst 😂

While in Barcelona you should definatelly visit Girona. For me it is a hidden gem with less crowded streets, amazing food and restaurants and great location. I have been there cycling but you should also have fun on a motorbike ;)

One of my absolute favourite places! Believe it or not, but 15-ish years ago, we rented an apartment two blocks from your place, on Carrer de la Duana. Awesome neighbourhood. Got to try out that rental service on out next trip. Looked great!

You guys are so entertaining :) Thank you for beautiful content as usual!

[@MrWalter2202]

I am so happy to see, that you really enjoyed your stay here. But of course it is, as always: holiday feeling makes things easier and this is actually very good. It seemed to me very funny to hear you saying, that tourist taxes obviously are spend for cleaning etc., as cleaning is unfortunately not the biggest skill of the city and his inhabitants. You were very happy during your stay, but of course it is also due to the fact, that much less people are moving around there. Throwing garbage on the ground, wherever people move, is unfortunately totally normal here. Nice greetings from Barcelona!

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks very much for this insight Walter- really interesting and appreciated!🙂 I had wondered how much quieter it was now compared to pre-covid

[@andrewbyatt349]

Wonderful introduction to a city I've never been to - but want very much to visit now. A great idea for bike rental which I shall be suggesting to the powers that be here in Edinburgh. Fantastic to see more of beautiful Monika too. She grounds you and allows interest from people who may not be so keen on bikes! I'm following your adventures as and when they appear! Because of your video I recently dropped in on the Bike Shed in London whilst down visiting my daughter. It's just as cool as you described it! Wish I was twenty years younger and could take the adventurous leap you have both embarked upon. I've always dreamt of riding a bike from Scotland to Santorini. Perhaps your inspiration will push me to make my dream come true one day?

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks Andrew and really appreciate the comment re Monika🙂 I’m delighted you enjoyed the Bike Shed- still my favourite biker spot👌🏻👌🏻 Scotland to Santorini- that would be an unforgettable trip of a lifetime!!😀🏍

Hey Freddie and Monika. Another great video. You know, I see that old blue Renault 1300 almost every day on my walk to the gym. I'm also big into the e-bikes here, but ideally want to get myself an RE Interceptor. So, if/when you move here, get in touch and my Catalan girlfriend and I will be able to show you the proper places the locals go to eat ;)

[@sinematographers3344]

Thanks Freddie. The YEGO helmets provided, do they provide "liners" ? really not happy sweat sharing, particularly during summer months. For any anyone visiting Barca avoid La Ramblas, it could spoil your trip with heavy street crime. Avoid behaving as a tourist ie: looking up and pointing, or looking lost, you become an instant target.

[@King_Harrold]

I've taken to packing a helmet liner / skull cap whenever I go away. Be it for quad bike, go kart, motorcycle or cycle hire. Like you, I can't abide sharing sweat. Makes my skin crawl.

[@FreddieDobbs]

I think they were more hair nets than liners that they provided. Thanks for the heads up on this- there were a lot of police on La Rambla and we saw a few arrests of pick pockets!😳

Green parrots are an issue in many Spanish cities. Actually they were initially brought as pets from tropical countries and their owners just freed them and they reproduce very quickly. In Barcelona, in Las Ramblas, the city authorities had to organise a massive “cleaning” because they make such a noise that neighbours couldn’t sleep…
