The Beaches Themselves – What Else?

It goes without saying, but the 4.5 kilometres of beaches offered by Barcelona are difficult to tear yourself away from. For the sun worshipers out there, this truly is the place to be. The city’s trendy beaches attract visitors, expats and locals alikeand are a great place to work on your tan, or simply promenade and take in the wonderful Mediterranean views.

And by renting a Barcelona beach apartment, you’ll be able to pop home and freshen-up in a flash.

Fancy a Splash?

Water sports are becoming increasingly popular along the city’s coast so a beach apartment in Barcelona right by the shore is a great idea for those who enjoy taking-on the waves. From energizing swimming and ever-so-cool surfing, to top notch sailing and the must-do sport of the moment, stand up paddle, those who enjoy making a splash will love Barcelona’s beaches, and having base camp in the vicinity will means that taking a time-out after an action packed few hours will be easy.

When Hunger Strikes!

But it’s not all just about sand and sea. Barcelona is famed for its exquisite cuisine, and where better to sample some of its wonderful tapas and seafood than in one of its coastal hangouts. From fried ‘calamares’ and buckets of mussels to delicious paellas and ‘fideuas’, Barcelona has some fantastic beach bars offering a tantalizing gastronomical selection. As an alternative, you could delve in to Barceloneta’s food market and pick up some local produce yourself. Your Barcelona beach apartment could play host to your very own Mediterranean feast!
