Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art – MACBA

Escape the hustle and bustle of Barcelona with a visit to the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA), a hub of contemporary art located in the El Raval neighbourhood. The museum showcases an impressive collection of Spanish and Catalan works from the mid-20th century onward. It also features an array of international pieces, with rotating exhibitions that bring fresh perspectives to its permanent collection.

Barcelona's Beaches

Barcelona has several beaches within easy reach, each with its own vibe. Mar Bella and Bogatell sit just minutes apart. Mar Bella is naturist and gay-friendly, while Bogatell draws volleyball players and sunbathers. Both are close to trendy bars and restaurants. The most famous one is Barceloneta, stretching roughly 1.1 km from the W Hotel to Port Olímpic. It's popular with locals and tourists alike, especially after work. Cyclists, joggers, and inline skaters love its promenade. For a quieter scene, Nova Icària offers calm waters and family-friendly facilities, while Ocata Beach in El Masnou, a 20-minute train ride north, provides expansive sands and a peaceful escape from the city.

Cardona

Cardona, a charming medieval village just an hour from Barcelona, is steeped in history and natural beauty. A highlight of any visit is the iconic Salt Mountain, a one-of-a-kind geological formation that offers guided tours into its shimmering salt caves. The imposing Castell de Cardona, perched on a hill, once served as the residence of the influential Cardona family, among Catalonia’s wealthiest lineages. Today, the castle houses a parador (luxury hotel) and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Don’t miss exploring the Medieval Centre, where cobbled streets and historic buildings will transport you back in time.
