Will also be on the northern suburbs of Barcelona so might rent a bike since we will be there a bit longer staying with friends.

We stayed in Port de Soler and rode up Puig Major, down Sa Colabra and then turned around and went back up Sa Colabra and over Puig Major beach to our home base. I would start early as traffic exponentially increased as the day went on. We left Soler around 6am I think and had the descent, and climb, almost entirely to ourselves. People in Spain are not known for doing anything before 10 which works out well for those of us who like to ride early. It’s absolutely beautiful though and you should really do it if you can.
Edit: correction we left at 7. Here’s my strava activity.
