4 days in Barcelona Itinerary

Barcelona, the country’s second-largest city, is a cosmopolitan urban center known for its throbbing youthful energy and stellar architecture.

You'll get in some beach time at Barceloneta Beach and L'illa Roja. El Barri Gòtic and Basilica of the Sagrada Familia will appeal to history buffs. Step out of Barcelona with an excursion to Playa Sa Riera in Begur--about 2 hours away. Spend the 3rd (Wed) among aquatic life with a scuba or snorkeling tour. There's lots more to do: stroll around Parc Guell, appreciate the history behind Casa Mila - La Pedrera, take in the exciting artwork at Galeria La Lesia, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Barcelona Cathedral.
