10 Magical Experiences to Have in Barcelona
Take a Dip in the Mediterranean
Barcelona features several beautiful beaches. During any Barcelona holiday, it is almost mandatory to take some time out to bask on the golden sand and take a dip in the blue Mediterranean waters.
Nova Icaria is one of the more peaceful spots, ideal for families or visitors who prefer a more low key environment, while la Barceloneta has an upbeat party vibe and plenty of restaurants where you can feast after swimming.
Join in the Party at a Local Festival
Barcelona loves a good party, which may be why there are so many exciting local festivals to take part in. Time-honored traditions such as building human castles (castellers), dashing through fire (correfoc) and the Sardana dance make each festival a spectacle. And then, of course, there’s free-flowing sangria, calimocho and cerveza that keeps the party going until sunrise.
The Festa de la Merece in September and the Festival of Sant Joan that takes place on the shortest night of the year are two events not to be missed.
Brimming with culture and history, when you visit London you are sure to have enriching experiences. Here's what to know when planning your trip!
Enjoy an Evening Cocktail on a Terrace
The many outdoor bars and cafes in the city are ideal for enjoying a cold drink in the evening light, after a long day of exploring. This is also great chance to sample pinchos, mouth-sized tapas. Mercat Princesa, 360 Terrace and Palau Dalmases Espai Barroc are all top spots for a glass of cava or a cocktail and a bit of people-watching.
