Dirt Cheap Barcelona

You can’t go to Barcelona without going to the beach of the Barceloneta. While it may not be the clearest water you’ll see along the Costa Brava, it’s definitely a nice respite from the rhythm of the city and a good way to breathe in the salty sea air without breathing in something else…

Starting at the southern-most point, where the Paseo de Joan de Borbon hits the beach, the boardwalk takes you northward along the beach, past beachfront cafes, chill-out bars, up a grassy hill to the new port, filled with sailboats and yachts of every shape and size.

From here you get a good perspective of the geographic orientation of Barcelona, with Montjuic Park and its castle to the south, and the hills to the north, Barcelona is a city where the mountains meet the sea.
As a further point of relaxation, if your body requires it, take advantage of one of the many women offerings massages at around 5 euro a pop.
Just sit back, breath, and relax…

Why should I go?
Because you’ll need to after a night on the town…
