Barcelona has become a very popular tourist destination in recent years, and it is easy to see why. The gorgeousness of the beaches is unsurpassable, and Barcelona. With over 4km of beaches, Barcelona has something for everyone. The most famous beach, and still a great place to visit, is Barceloneta. Known as Little Barcelona, the enormous stretch of golden sands can take your breath away. The joy of Barceloneta is its extensive series of eat-in restaurants, whether you fancy pizza or a more traditional Catalan Dish.

To the North is the great beach of Ocata; with a massive stretch of unspoiled beach. The best news about this beach is that the general tourist population don’t know about it; there’ll always be places to soak up the sun, and the local area has organized fun activities for kids. Wherever you go in the Barcelona beach area, there are also plenty of things to do within the city itself. There are a number of festivals throughout the year, and the late summer has two big festivals, the Festes de la Merce, at the end of September, features music, performance artists and celebrations, the majority of it completely free.
