When the Tour Came to Barcelona

For the first time in 120 years, the Tour de France begins not in France, but in a city of rhythm, rebellion, and radiant light: Barcelona.

A city of Montjuïc’s defiant slopes and La Rambla's late-night thrum. In 2026, cycling's greatest race rolls into Catalonia, and with it, a rare chance to experience the Grand Départ from the inside.

At the heart of this moment stands another homecoming: that of Frank Camorra, Barcelona-born chef and MoVida founder.

Though not on the ground with you, Frank has hand-curated every cultural and culinary layer of this Mummu experience. From exclusive access to storied Catalan kitchens, to hidden venues that never make the guidebooks, you'll move through a Barcelona few visitors ever touch. Think private dinners in medieval farmhouses. Local feasts reimagined for modern palates. A signed edition of MoVida’s Guide to Barcelona, updated for this occasion.

And surrounding it all? Mummu’s signature access to the sport. Team presentations. Ride-outs on the TT course. Breakaway-level vantage points that don’t just show you the race, but let you feel it, close enough to taste the tension, smell the rubber, hear the heartbeat of the peloton before the gun.

This isn’t a city break. It’s a front-row immersion. A collision of Catalan fire and Tour de France pageantry. And you're not just watching it happen. You're part of it.

Taste Frank's Barcelona

“What I love most about Barcelona isn’t the well-known restaurants, it’s the tiny neighbourhood bars, the family-run kitchens, the places with character and authenticity. There’s a whole world of food that most people never get to see. I love to share the hidden gems that wowed me when I first discovered them."

The Journey

Every day is carefully crafted to maximise your Tour de France experience.

Step into a city buzzing with anticipation. After arriving at La Rambla’s iconic Le Meridien, you'll settle in and sip your way into the week ahead. Later, the energy shifts as you step into the spotlight at the team presentation, where cameras flash and strategies take shape. The evening sets the tone with welcome drinks and a flavour-forward introduction to Barcelona, curated by Frank Camorra.

Day Highlights:

Live viewing of Team Presentation, early access to a viewing zone usually reserved for team partners.
First-course tasting inspired by MoVida’s roots.

This journey ran with the 2026 Tour de France and its Barcelona Grand Depart. The 2027 Tour starts in Edinburgh on 2 July, the official route is out, and the 2027 journeys are on the 2027 Tour de France page. Enquire now and you will hear first.
