The most beautiful natural sites to discover Barcelona

This park was built in 1986, on the location of old railway warehouses. Some elements have been preserved in this urban landscape, in the form of waterfalls and the Arab patio.

This very pleasant park was built in 1919, along with the Royal Palace for Alphonse XIII. The Font del Drac (Dragon Fountain) was designed by Gaudí.

A little detour through this relatively recent park (1993), which saw a Mediterranean wood crossed through a zigzag of paths lined with pine, oak and ash. The balconies offer a breathtaking view of the Llobregat. A round road leads to the Castell de Montjuïc, which is also a beautiful promenade.

Located on the heights of Barcelona, this vast park offers a green break in the Horta district.

In the heart of Pedralbes, a tiny forest park to many plant species.

Located near the Tibidabo, behind Güell Park, this park was built on a former career. An artificial lake is the main attraction since swimming is permitted in summer.

This park, a veritable forest at the gates of the city, is the green lung of Barcelona. It is a huge area where you can make many walks, excursions for the most courageous, walking or cycling.

By leaving Barcelona, you arrive very quickly on the beaches frequented by the Barcelona on weekends. Each has its own interest, its particularity. First, Gavá, known as "La Pineda", with its dunes and pine forests. Then Castelldefels, and its large stretches of sand, 5 km, frequented by athletes, fans of wind, windsurfing, surfing and other kites. Both locations are contiguous and connected by a dike for roller or bicycle lovers, who end in Port Ginesta. Through the coastal road, you arrive at the small beach of Garraf, a small bay lined with white and green huts. Very quiet with a terrace restaurant, Garraf Chiringuito: first terrace, tapas; Second terrace, restaurant with specialities from the sea, where it is good to drag away from the parasols with a view of a beautiful sea, a relaxing holiday atmosphere. At the entrance to Sitges, Marina, a small beach and a small harbour with a tropézienne atmosphere with its restaurants and terraces giving directly onto the harbour. In Sitges, the beaches of Balmins and Sant Pedroche are the quietest and the most family-friendly. Fine sand and gentle slope to enter the water, the sea is often hot, thanks to its low depth.
