Barcelona And Its Beaches

A wonderful place to spend some relaxing time

Barcelona is the city that hosted the 1992 Olympic Games and it is this event that determined the local authorities to clean the area around the city and all its beaches in order to transform them into big attractions for tourists.

Now, the beaches around Barcelona represent great places for relaxation and a lot of fun, so try not to miss them if you visit the city.

Nova Icaria and Bogatell

Nova Icaria is the beach that stands the closest to the picturesque marina, so if you have other options, choose them because this beach gets very crowded, especially during the peak season.

However, its promenades are packed with exquisite restaurants where you can taste some of the most delicious traditional dishes, so it would be a good idea to visit this beach at least for its food.

Bogatell is one of those beaches where you do not feel like you are close to a big city because there is almost no noise. After you relax on the sandy beach, try the stone walkway which offers you the possibility to jog, use the roller blades or the bicycle.

Barceloneta is great for those who are young because it is a very jolly beach which has numerous fast food restaurants of an American style that everyone who is young loves.
