Sustainable Transport: Flights, Transfers & Transit
Barcelona is dense and walkable. We prioritize arrivals via high-speed rail from France/Madrid and connect you with a metro system powered by renewable energy.
Eco-Routed Flights
Barcelona-El Prat (BCN) has strict noise and emission controls. If flying, choose direct routes to avoid the high carbon cost of short-hop connecting flights.
Electric Private Transfers
Avoid the traffic jams. Our verified transfer partners use hybrid/electric vehicles, or take the Aerobús which runs frequently and efficiently to the center.
Fossil-Free City Transit
The TMB bus and metro network is excellent. Combined with the 'Bicing' bike-share system, you can explore the entire beachfront and city without a car.
Verified Impact Stays
Stay in hotels with the 'Biosphere' certification, ensuring water conservation measures are in place—crucial for this Mediterranean climate.
Catalan Market Dining
Catalonia is a slow-food haven. We guide you to markets like Santa Caterina (less touristy than Boqueria) and restaurants sourcing from the nearby Penedès region.
Local Artisan Design
Explore Gràcia for independent workshops. Buy authentic espadrilles or ceramics from local makers to ensure your money stays in the community.
Curated Local Experiences
From electric bike tours of Montjuïc to sailing the coast. Our experiences focus on dispersing tourism away from the overcrowded Gothic Quarter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Barcelona safe from pickpockets?
Pickpocketing is common in tourist hubs (La Rambla). However, by dressing like a local and staying vigilant, it is very safe.
How do I get from the airport to the city?
The Aerobús is efficient and low-emission. The Metro (L9 Sud) is also a great option connecting terminals directly to the city network.
Can I drink tap water in Barcelona?
Yes, it is safe, though the taste can be mineral-heavy due to the region's geology. Locals often use filters, but it is perfectly drinkable.
