Barcelona Beach Tourism, as I have explained here, exploded after the Olympic Games of 1992 as part of a transformation of Barcelona City for that event.

The environmental care and the continuous cleaning procedure applied by the City, make of its beaches a perfect place for your relax at the sun without the need to travel out of Barcelona City. Look at the Barcelona Map for more details.

Besides of laying down on the fine golden sand, You can swim, practice windsurfing or take a refreshing drink at one of the several beach huts.

Navigate in the Barcelona Mediterranean coast is an exciting experience that I can recommend to You as something that you should plan to do during your visit. One possibility is to book a Barcelona Boat Charter.

In case You own a skipper licence, Barcelona Boat Hire is the right option to navigate at your own plan! No licence? No problem. You can even hire a boat with a boat skipper!

It is also possible that your intention or plan is oriented to buy a boat or ship of a certain category. I can seriously recommend you Barcelona Boat Sales as the best option for choosing the type of vessel that you want to buy.

Maybe You prefer to stay near of the beach of your choise. I have very good accommodation choices selected for Your Barcelona Budget. I higly recommend you to make your reservation directly from one of this options: Cheap Hotel Barcelona, Barcelona Self Catering, Barcelona Apartment, Barcelona Villas, Luxury Hotels Barcelona Spain or even from Last Minute Accomodation.
