1. Platja de la Barceloneta o Platja del Port Olímpic
2. Aquarium

Finally you have made it to the centrepiece of Barcelona, the beach-front. It is hard to find another city in Europe which can equal the cultural development of Barcelona over the last couple of decades. However, a holiday is not the same without at least one day relaxing on the beach. The beaches get packed in the summer months, which for some can be a little overwhelming, but it can't be helped. Pick your spot wisely, check for the typical loud-mouth who loves the sound of his own voice and stick well clear of him. Salesmen with ice-coolers packed full of every beverage ever invented will constantly remind you of your thirst brewing. Look out for the hilarious doughnut man who precariously balances 100 doughnuts on a tray on his head, just for you.
