Need your input if you've been to Barcelona

I'm travelling to Macedonia to summer vacay with the Macedonian fam. We are spending 10 days driving through Macedonia, Croatia, Albania, Montenegro, and then a couple of days at their trailer park in northern Greece.

I'm going to go to Barcelona for my last 3 days and want to know from anyone who has info, which is the best beach in Barcelona? Whatever it is, that's where I'm going to stay

There are loads of central great beaches in Barcelona. One of the reasons I love that city.

Unless you need to stay beachside you really don't need to. Get a central hotel as everywhere is walkable or short metro journey.

The beaches I like start at the Port Olympic and head up the coast from there. When I went before we used Playa de Bogatell or mostly Playa Mar Bella which are right next to each other.

Don't forget to book the Sagrada Familia before you go as that gets so booked up and you can't go to Barcelona and not go there.

@KatyO83 thanks for the heads up about the Sagrada! Playa Bogatell is one that I’m looking at! Did you like it?
