Beaches in Barcelona

from guest

The coast where Barcelona is located and which takes on different denomination when the latitude changes is regarded among the best in Spain.
Barcelona Town
Spiagge Barcellona can be a valid response to the sweltering heat which hits the whole of Spain in the summer period but which could maybe disappoint folks who predict white sand and crystal clear water. Barcelona is also famous for its crucial port and it’d be too much to expect Caribbean-like beaches here. However, what does work in favour of the Catalan capital is the indisputable fact that it is near to coasts known for their beauty, which is certainly a good reason to contrive a trip outside of the town during your stay in Barcelona. The main beaches are Barceloneta, Nova Icaria, Bogatell and Marbella.
Out of Barcelona
One of the Catalans’ favourite beaches is Ocata, which is on the Masnou coast and among those we will be able to find to the north of the town, being loved by surfers who come out at the weekends. It is also very close to the famous beach of Masnou ( which gives its name to the stretch of coast ), which is also favoured by surfers, has good facilities and pure and clear sand. Others stunning beaches are Andri de Besos, Villassar de Mar, Cabrera de Mar,
Carrying on this direction you go thru Villassar del Mar, which is extremely popular with tourists and then you can the splendid city of Matar, which is the county seat of the Maresme area, being set between the blue of the Mediterranean and the green of the mountain range of Serralada Litoral, with about 120 thousand folk living there and is extremely loaded in natural and cultural treasures. Its beaches stretch out along the coast for roughly 5 kilometres and are especially split up into : the Playa del Espign, the Playa del Callao and the Playa del Varador.
If you are planning on visiting the beaches to the south of Barcelona, there are 2 which truly stand out : the first is Castelldefels, which is about half an hour on the train from the capital, and characterized by a line of restaurants and bars very near its wide and clean beaches, and the other is the Playa de Garraf, which is one of the few examples of mountainous / mountainous natural environments where the sea’s nature and the moderness of restaurants behind the beach come together and which really is deserving of a visit as picture in oh barcelona blog shows.
Very out of Barcelona
If you have an interest in spending a day in an amazing destination by the sea but you also want to spare some time to do some sightseeing, another place you could consider is Sitges, which is the crowned jewel of Catalonia, and famous all over Europe for its carnival ( when the whole area comes out on the streets for the town’s festival ) and has been, for a considerable time now, the haunt of the gay community. As well as enjoying captivating beaches, the city also gives you the chance to get lost in its narrow and steep side streets, which are like the widely recognized Genovese carriages in their layout, visit its churches San Bartolom and Santa Tecla, and make the best of the Catalan cuisine whose origins, more than anyplace else, can be discovered here. The most important cost is Costa Brava our favorites are Blanes and Lloret de Mar.
