There’s More to Barcelona Than Barcelona
If you’re thinking about taking a vacation in Barcelona, will you visit the city itself, or will you see what else the province of Barcelona has to offer? Contrary to popular belief, Barcelona isn’t just a city; it’s also one of Catalonia’s 4 provinces, and there’s much more to the area than simply the city. In fact, this is a province that’s bursting with culture, history, scenery, and there’s plenty to see and do here, too!
City Life
Along with Barcelona, there’s also a number of other busy, bustling cities within Barcelona province that demonstrate just how lively and active things can be in Catalonia. If you love the full, hectic atmosphere of major cities, then book a villa in Barcelona province in the city of Hospitalet de Llobregat, or ‘L’Hospitalet’ for short. Believe it or not, this is actually one of the most densely packed cities in all of Europe! While there’s not quite as much to do here as there is in the city of Barcelona, L’Hospitalet certainly has one mightily impressive skyline with some of the tallest skyscrapers in all of Catalonia. For a completely different side to city life, try another city location in Barcelona province: Mataró. This is a quieter, very compact city that’s very easy to navigate on foot, and is a little more laid back than L’Hospitalet or Barcelona. The main sights are the Roman ruins, and the Puig i Cadafalch architecture. It’s located south of the Costa Brava, so you can easily visit Mataró from your Costa Brava vacation rental.
Mediterranean Beauty
Of course, many people who take a holiday in Spain want sun, sea, and sand, and Barcelona province has plenty! As well as the fascinating and historic cities, there’s also a number of smaller coastal resorts that scream ‘Mediterranean!’. Sitges is one of these resorts, and it’s one of the most popular holiday destinations in Catalonia. It offers plenty for visitors, including sandy beaches, cultural museums, seafront restaurants, and luxury Costa Dorada holiday rentals overlooking the famous golden coast.
