Bicycle trip to the IKEA in Badalona
It might sound like a bad idea to go to the Ikea with bikes, but we just needed some small things so it was a good excuse to bike to Badalona on the coast , and discover a bit of the upper part of it, we took the red metro line from Fondo to come back. There is a bike lane all the way on the cost from Barceloneta till Badalona and further. It is a good occasion to check out the 3 huge chimney's of Besos form close, this area is vey good place for people who like to visit or take pictures of postindustrial things and places. You also cross the freshly built marina before get into the town. Badalona has a nice little promenade by the beach with restaurants and cafes, good place to try a menu del dia. To find the ikea we just asked locals on the way, basically it is just up, up and up, takes about 15 minutes with bicycle if you go quite slowly. It is a good solution if you are bored of even think about to go to Ikea but you need something, like this at least you connect it with a little sightseeing, some soft adventure and exercise. From Ikea to Fondo metro station it is 5 minutes , and very easy to find.
