#8 Grab a Bike
I can not stress enough how perfect cycling is in Barcelona whether you are riding solo or on a tour. This is the perfect way to get around the crowds on the sidewalk and metro. It is very affordable to rent a bike for the day and you will find most streets have bike lanes. If you would like a little more structure Steel Donkey Bike Tours offer some really unique options and they boast that no two tours are ever the same as they show you all their favorite non-tourist sights personally

#7 Take A Cooking Class
You will love eating while you are in Barcelona. The fresh seafood is unlike any other city, but I never knew where to start when I was cooking at home. Taking a cooking class is a great way to learn a little about the Spanish culture while enjoying a great meal and also gain an understanding of Spanish flavors and ingredients. There are a lot of language exchange groups, like Meetup, that organize cooking classes for travelers making it a great way to meet new people as well.
