What we’re about
We do hikes around Barcelona, with a few differences to some other outdoor groups on Meetup:
- Our events are free.
- We don't start very early in the morning.
- We tend to walk at a quick pace and do longer hikes. If you prefer more leisurely hikes, there are other groups that might be a better fit.

Not open - Expect the Unexpected: Fuirosos – Montnegre – Ruta dels Turons – Sant Pol de MarPasseig de Gràcia (Renfe), Barcelona
If you haven't been on a hike with us before, please wait for one of our regular events in the coming weeks, and don't sign up for this event.
To explore more places around Barcelona, I’ve started a series of events called Expect the Unexpected. These are hikes that I haven’t done before, although I’ve done research in advance. Despite my best efforts to plan, we may need to improvise, so expect the unexpected.
This event is open to people who have been on hikes with our group before. I will move people from the waitlist to the list of attendees. Please only sign up if you plan to go, and change your status if you need to cancel.
