THINGS TO DO
new in 60by80
Mies van der Rohe Pavilion
Stop by and admire the groundbreaking structure and clean lines, but save yourself the admission if you’re looking to be entertained.
Museu Picasso
One of Barcelona’s most visited museums but, unless you’re a hardcore Picasso fan, one you might want to skip if you’re on a tight schedule.
Fundació Joan Miró
Many visitors inexplicably skip this museum in favour of a trip to the better known but much inferior Picasso Museum. Don’t make the same mistake.
Bike tour: Fat Tire Bike Tours
A new perspective on the capital, with plenty of photo ops, interesting facts and quirky stories.
Bike rental: Barcelona Biking
For the inexperienced bike rider Barcelona’s traffic might seem intimidating, but the city is actually getting more bicycle-friendly by the day.
Guides: My Favourite Things
Learn about the city (and the language, if so desired), while you sightsee, dance flamenco, cook, bike, hike, or something completely different.
Costa Brava-Sant Pol
Popular with gay daytrippers and nudist, the beaches and coves are well enjoyable even if you prefer to keep your kit on
Tarragona-Salou-Cambrils
South of Barcelona, wider and sandier beaches, with more reliable sunshine.
Sitges
A popular gay destination but younger visitors now tend to stay put in Barcelona. Those who do go are rewarded with nicer facilities, cleaner sand and clearer water.
Bogatell-Mar Bella
City beaches just on the other side of the Port Olímpic, including Mar Bella, the main gay beach in summer.
