Barceloneta for a date

1Barceloneta · La Barceloneta, Ciutat Vella

Barceloneta beach

• Beach
• Walk
• Casual
• Free
• Fun

Why it works for a date: The city beach, a short walk from the old town: sea air, a long promenade and plenty of places to eat. The beach faces east, so it's a sunrise spot rather than a sunset one.
