Picasso Museum
Home to one of the most extensive
collections of Pablo Picasso’s works,
the Picasso Museum is the perfect
place for art lovers to spend an
afternoon. It’s worth noting that the
museum is closed on Mondays, and
it is recommended to buy tickets in
advance to avoid disappointment.
Relax on the beach
A staple of every luxury getaway,
Barcelona boasts some beautiful
beaches. Barceloneta is the most
famous spot, famed for its long stretch
of sand. For a quieter location, Bogatell
is the oldest beach in the city and boasts
golden sands without the huge crowds.
If you’re after a more unconventional
experience, with a visit to Sant Sebastià
you’ll find an unofficial nudist beach.
Hit the shops
Barcelona is famed for the variety of
shopping options, ideal for a mid-break
retail therapy session. Though there
are a range of retail outlets available,
La Boqueria is a unique experience
where you can find fresh and locally-
sourced produce. A famous traditional
market, stalls range from colourful
fruit and vegetables to a rainbow of
confectionary and other treats.
