"The city’s most beloved park offers a lot of open space and picnic spots. Here you’ll find ping pong tables, free yoga classes in the summer, and boat rentals at the pond. Be sure to climb the steps above the fountain in the center for a great photo. The Barcelona Zoo is just steps away, as well.Barceloneta Beach — Where Barcelona meets the water, Barceloneta Beach begins. Lined with restaurants and outdoor bars, Barceloneta always feels like a party. Conditions permitting, you’ll even find surfers here catching small Mediterranean waves.   Bogatell Beach — One beach over from Barceloneta is Bogatell Beach. The scene here is a little more low-key, and the seafood and paella restaurants that line this shore have a more relaxed, beachy feel. A bit like large beach huts since they have no walls, the restaurants are called  chiringuitos and are as much of a draw as the beach itself. It’s a lovely walk here from Barceloneta.Badalona — Beyond the Barceloneta and Bogatell Beaches is Badalona, reachable by metro. This is a low-key suburb of Barcelona where prices are cheaper and tourists are far fewer. Badalona has two big clubs: El New Cel with its salsa, bachata, and zouk dancing and Titus with its showier vibe where dudes go to flex their muscles and girls wear sky-high heels. Don’t bother staying at the beach until these dance spots open up as it will have been dark for hours. Instead, consider a sunrise beach walk after you spill out of the clubs." - MATADOR_NETWORK
