the bit by the sea is flat but it's surrounded by hills. when i explained to my friends partner who was really into his mtb's that i rode SS mtb he thought i was mad. next day i went for a walk in the hills directly behind the city (to the south of tibidabo) which involved walking up escalators in the street and a furnicular railway, it's that steep. i could see why a ss mtb wouldn't be much use there.
you will be fine for rolling round the city as long as you don't have to visit the far north suburbs above the diagonal.
