Getting to the Beach
If you are staying in central Barcelona, it couldn't be easier to get to the beach From La Rambla, one of the city's main shopping streets, you can walk to the shore in about half an hour. Alternatively, hop on the bus or get the metro to the Barceloneta stop and walk for about 10 minutes. It's worth exploring the more beautiful coastlines away from the city.

Sights of the City
There is plenty to do in town if you would like a break from swimming and sunbathing for a day. Check out the magnificent Sagrada Família cathedral, undoubtedly the most famous symbol of the city originally designed by Gaudí.
