About
Hurtige fakta: Sanden føles blød under fødderne og promenaden summer af små caféer, tapasboder og levende musik, perfekt til en rolig dag eller en aften ude. Over en million mennesker strømmer dertil hvert år, mange for strandvolley, solbadning og den uformelle blanding af lokal stemning og turistpuls.
Højdepunkter: Gehrys 56 meter lange guld-fisk glitrer i sollyset, dens metalplader kaster levende, varme reflektioner hen over bølgerne og de gyldne sandkorn. Om natten den 23. juni forvandles stranden til en verden af små bål og grillpladser, hvor tusinder fejrer Sant Joan med coca, cava og fyrværkeri; folk hopper over flammer og klapper, mens musikken spiller.
Insider tips
- Wear water-friendly sandals, a hat and reef-safe sunscreen for long hours on sand and boardwalk.
- Head to the far western end by the W Hotel for dramatic sea-and-sky photos, or capture local life near the small fishing piers.
- Arrive before 10:00 in summer to beat crowds and secure a good spot, or come after 18:00 for cooler air and local atmosphere.
- Skip the busiest beachfront restaurants at peak hours; walk two blocks inland for cheaper, authentic tapas and faster service.
