The 30 Best Things to See and Do in Barcelona (Updated 2025)

"Barcelona’s long, wide beach is open year-round with good swimming and a lively boardwalk full of restaurants; it was built with imported Egyptian sand for the 1992 Olympics, is almost always busy, and I recommend walking out toward Sant Sebastià or Somorrostro for quieter, cleaner sections." - Matthew Kepnes
