Discover our tour of Spain

Spanish cities offer the perfect mix of history and modernity. From the bustling streets of Barcelona to the historic monuments of Madrid, all cities have something unique to offer.

Exploring these cities means immersing yourself in vibrant culture and centuries-old traditions. Cities that have been the beating heart of European history for centuries now inspire travelers with multifaceted suggestions between art and innovation, with a mysterious and ancient charm, an inimitable imprint of Spanish culture.

Lesser-known cities also offer unmissable inspirational insights, where tradition and modernity meet even where you don't expect them, just steps away from a charging station. So there is nothing better than taking a break in Huesca, for example, to "recharge," in every sense of the word.

Barcelona: explore Modernist Art and Culture.

The first stop on the Powy Tour in Spain is certainly Barcelona, famous for its tourist attractions that include the Sagrada Familia and Park Güell.

The intent of our guide is to lead you to discover new things so we will not dwell on mentioning the more classic attractions, partly because Barcelona offers numerous hidden treasures.

Visiting the small squares and charming streets will allow visitors to discover the true essence of the city. The local gastronomy is not to be missed, with typical dishes that will enrich the visitor's experience. To recharge oneself, culinary attractions also cannot be underestimated.

For those seeking a more authentic and less touristy experience in Barcelona, a visit to the Sarrià-Sant Gervas neighborhood located in the upper part of the city might be of interest, offering a quiet, residential atmosphere with tree-lined streets, picturesque squares, and beautiful modernist buildings.

Here you will find the Mercat de Sarrià: a lively and colorful covered market where you can find fresh local produce, flowers, and specialty foods.

From here it is also a short walk to the Mirador Terrace, which offers a splendid panoramic view of the city.

For those who want to spend more time and have a desire for a real adventure, we suggest the many treks up Tibidabo, Barcelona's highest mountain that offers panoramic views and is home to Tibidabo Amusement Park and the Sacred Heart Expiatory Temple.

If you have arrived in Barcelona with your electric car, find the charging station Powy, on Carrer d'Amigó, 72.
