Apartments in Barcelona

Barcelona, don’t forget it, is a city of sea: its 5 km of beaches make it an unique destination in Europe. Cultural tourism stay fits perfectly with a beach holiday.

The coastal area has been rediscovered and appreciated in the 1992 Olympic Games and during the long Catalan summer becomes an entertainment area, both day and night. The beaches stretch a few minutes from city center: the perfect place for walking, sunbathing, eating fresh fish off the sea, sporting (athletics, cycling, swimming, tennis, windsurfing...): the large presence of appropriate structures makes Barcelona’s beaches a haven for pleasure!

There are excellent services offered in the summer season: lifeguards supervision, Red Cross, changing rooms, rental of umbrellas and sun beds, bar with music and easy connections with the rest of the city.

Throughout the year, however, Barcelona beaches offer a wide variety of events and attractions. Access to animals is not allowed from May to September and during the Easter holidays, while allowed during the rest of the year.
