Spring is one of the best times of the year to enjoy the great outdoors in Barcelona. With the arrival of the good weather and nature in full bloom, the city offers a wide range of sustainable activities that allow you to enjoy this season in a responsible and eco-friendly way.

Here are some ideas for sustainable things to do in Barcelona this season.

Take a bike ride: Barcelona is a very bicycle-friendly city, with an extensive network of cycle lanes that allow you to travel in a sustainable way and enjoy the cityscape. At Princess Hotels in Barcelona, you can rent a bike and ride along the Paseo Marítimo, visit Ciutadella Park or cycle through the streets of the Gothic Quarter, enjoying the beautiful spring weather.

Visit urban parks: Barcelona has many urban parks, perfect for enjoying nature in the heart of the city. Montjuïc Park, Ciutadella Park, Laberint d’Horta Park and Collserola Park are some of the options where you can enjoy the local flora and fauna, have a picnic or simply relax surrounded by nature.

Discover the local markets and shops: Spring is the perfect time to enjoy open-air markets and buy fresh, seasonal produce. Visit local markets such as La Boqueria, Santa Caterina or Sant Antoni, where you’ll find fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and other local produce. You can also opt for zero-waste shops and take your own bags and reusable containers to reduce your plastic consumption.

Outdoor activities: Spring is the perfect time to enjoy outdoor activities in Barcelona. You can hike on the outskirts of the city, enjoy the beach in a responsible way, practice yoga on the beach or in one of the city’s parks, or simply relax on a terrace overlooking the city while enjoying the good weather.

Sustainable gastronomy: Barcelona is known for its delicious cuisine, and in spring you can enjoy fresh and seasonal dishes. At Hotel Negresco Princess and Hotel Barcelona Princess, we offer sustainable dining, with local and regional products, promoting environmentally friendly practices such as the use of organic products, the reduction of food waste and the use of renewable energy.
