Barcelona’s Beaches

When visiting a major city, trying to take everything in can be challenging. One of the best ways to get the most out of your holiday experiences in Barcelona is, of course, to visit the famous local beaches. After touring Barcelona the beach is a good place to relax and unwind. It’s only a short 10 minute trip to the beach from the centre of Barcelona, with four beaches to choose from. The nearest beach to the city, Barceloneta Beach, is joined to Icaria Beach. Barceloneta Beach is only a 20 minute walk from Las Ramblas and the most popular in the area, while Sitges beach is the furthest from Barcelona, and takes approximately 30 minutes to get there by rail. Marbella Beach is the fourth main beach in the area. Though designated a nudist beach, many spend time on Marbella Beach in swimwear or casual clothes.

Anyone visiting Barcelona should make sure that they visit the famous La Sagrada Familia, the great work by architect Antoni Gaudi. It is one of the most instantly recognisable and unique holy buildings in the world, and perhaps the most famous building in the Catalonia region. Work began on the La Sagrada Familia in 1882 and it’s hoped that the building will be completed in 2026, the centenary of Gaudi’s death. Be sure to take a tour in one of the towers for spectacular views across Barcelona.
