Barcelona, Spain Travel Guide
Beaches, Gaudí and tapas
Why visit Barcelona
Sagrada Família, Park Güell and the Gothic Quarter sit minutes from city beaches. Barcelona is compact enough to explore on foot, with the Eixample grid, the Boqueria market and the port forming a loop you can walk in a day. Evening starts late — vermouth at noon, tapas at nine, and the beach clubs after midnight.
