Barceloneta is a picturesque coastal neighbourhood of Barcelona, located in the Ciutat Vella district of the city. The area is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, the nearby El Born district and the Moll d’Espanya. Barceloneta is perhaps best known for its golden-sand beach, and the fact that such a major city in Europe has such a beautiful coastline.

This unique area of the city has a vibrant atmosphere all of its own, and the best way to experience it first-hand is by renting a holiday apartment in Barceloneta via the 9flats website.

Amongst the attractions in the area include the Homenatge a la Barceloneta – a striking monument created by the German artist Rebecca Horn. This area of Barcelona grew up as a staunchly working class district, yet it now features a stunning range of restaurants serving locally caught fish and shellfish dishes. Sample the various culinary creations of the district’s many tapas bars, or take a seat at one of the local bars and enjoy the fabulous sea views. With such a joyful and relaxing environment to enjoy, the best way to experience it fully is by renting a holiday apartment in Barcelona.

Holiday Accommodation in Barceloneta Delivers Secluded Luxury

No visit to this part of Barcelona should pass without a trip to the Church of Sant Miguel – a stunning example of Spanish architecture. However, it is the district’s relationship with the sea that dominates the area; a relationship that grew from the local port’s export and fishing industries. Although the district used to suffer from high unemployment and urban blight, planning for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics led to a major regeneration programme that is still bearing fruit to this day. If you decide to take a trip to the beach, make sure you stop at the Centre de la Platja, where you will find detailed information about local water-sports, activities, restaurants and safety. Renting nearby holiday accommodation in El Fort Pienc will not only give you quick and easy access to the beach, it will provide a comfortable and luxurious base in which to relax every evening – the perfect way to recover from a day in the sun!

Couchsurfing in Barceloneta is a great way of experiencing local customs and traditions, but the service provided by 9flats is even better. You can select from thousands of private holiday homes around the world – many of which are at the heart of local communities.
