Beaches
Many people forget that Barcelona is not only a big bustling
city and cultural centre, but that it's bordered by the
Mediterranean Sea, awarding the coastline with a string of
attractive beaches, an ideal diversion after excessive sightseeing
and shopping. Visit the popular Barceloneta Beach only ten minutes
from the city centre where there are a selection of beach bars,
cool down with a refreshing swim and marvel at the bizarre
architecture of
Homenatge a la Barceloneta, by Rebecca Horn.
For more peace and quiet during the summer season venture a bit
further to either Icaria, Mar Bella or Stiges Beach, where the
crowds would have dissipated.
Transport: A twenty minute walk from La Ramblas or Barceloneta metro station, line 4
