A Rick-Steves-Style Review of the 4-Hour Supercar Experience: Drive from Barcelona to Sitges
Imagine cruising along winding coastal roads in a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Aston Martin, or BMW, with the Mediterranean sparkling on your side. This 4-hour Supercar Experience takes you from Barcelona to the picturesque seaside town of Sitges, combining the adrenaline of high-performance driving with the relaxed charm of a Mediterranean escape. Priced around €400-€600 depending on your chosen car and additional fees, it’s a splurge that promises memories of speed, style, and stunning vistas.
What we love about this experience? First, the opportunity to drive a top-tier supercar on scenic routes that highlight Catalonia’s natural beauty. Second, the two hours in Sitges give you ample time to wander its narrow streets, enjoy the beaches, or pop into cafes that spill over with local character.
A note of caution: this tour is mainly for those comfortable with driving or riding in powerful cars. If you’re not used to high speeds or don’t have a valid driver’s license with at least two years of experience, you might be better as a passenger or spectator.
This experience suits car enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and travelers who want a taste of luxury with a dash of scenic beauty. It’s perfect if you’re visiting Barcelona and craving something both exhilarating and distinctly Catalan.

The Itinerary and What You Can Expect
The journey begins at a central meeting point in Barcelona, easily accessible via metro and bus. From there, you’ll set off in a private, guided tour, heading south along the Garraf Massif’s scenic route. We loved the way the route showcases Catalonia’s natural beauty, with views that could make even the most hurried tourist pause for photographs. Expect to see crystal-clear waters lapping against marinas, scenic coves, and whitewashed houses that seem to tumble down the hillside.
The highlight, of course, is the drive in your chosen supercar. The experience is tailored to your comfort level; whether you want to co-pilot or take the wheel, the professional instructor is there to make sure every moment is safe and enjoyable. The cars are described as iconic and powerful, offering a unique blend of style and speed that’s quite the thrill.
After about two hours on the road, you arrive in Sitges, a town often called the “Saint-Tropez of Spain.” Its charm lies in the narrow, winding streets, the lively beach atmosphere, and a blend of luxury boutiques and charming cafes. You’ll have two hours of free time here, which many reviews say is enough to stroll the promenade, enjoy a coffee by the sea, or explore the town’s artistic corners. One traveler shared, “The free time was just enough to soak in the vibe and take some photos of the colorful streets.”
The trip concludes with a return to Barcelona, making it a well-rounded, half-day adventure that combines scenic beauty, adrenaline, and leisure.
