Cruise Barcelona on a Harley

It’s no secret that over the last decade, Barcelona has become one of Europe’s hottest destinations, seducing visitors with world-class gastronomy, architecture and a seemingly endless array of activities.  But no matter how many times you have visited and checked out sites like the soaring majesty of the Sagrada Familia Church or searched for the perfect paella, chances are you probably haven’t seen the city from the saddle of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.  A new four-night package offered by Rafael Hotels’ boutique property, Casanova, does exactly that, allowing guests a memorable perspective of the city from the perch of a growling, two-wheeled icon.  Forget the tour bus or walking around with your nose glued to the guidebook. The Harley-Davidson Package lets you roll in control of a sleek Sportster 1200 Custom bike as you throttle past signature sites such as Gaudi’s architectural wonders and the beaches of Barceloneta, before purring up Montjuic hill to enjoy the commanding views of Barcelona’s harbor.  The package includes the motorcycle rental for one day, four nights in a Superior Room or Junior Suite, daily buffet breakfast, two gourmet tasting menus in the hotel’s Mexiterranee restaurant, a cocktail from the Lobby Bar and round-trip airport transfers.  Available year-round, prices range from  1,110 € (approx. $1,568) to 1,318 € (approx. $1,862) depending on suite selection.  Additional days on the Harley are available for 180 € (approx. $254) per day.
