If you\u2019re thinking about taking a vacation in Barcelona<\/u><\/a>, 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\u2019t just a city; it\u2019s also one of Catalonia\u2019s four provinces, and there\u2019s much more to the area than simply the city. In fact, the province is bursting with culture, history, and plenty of scenery.<\/p>\n

Vilassar de Mar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

City Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

Along with Barcelona, there\u2019s 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<\/u><\/a> province in the city of Hospitalet de Llobregat, or “L\u2019Hospitalet” for short, which is actually one of the most densely packed cities in all of Europe! While there\u2019s not quite as much to do here as there is in the city of Barcelona, L\u2019Hospitalet certainly has one mightily impressive skyline with some of the tallest skyscrapers in all of Catalonia.<\/p>\n

For a completely different side to city life, try another city location in Barcelona<\/u><\/a> province: Matar\u00f3. This is a quieter, compact city that\u2019s very easy to navigate on foot, and is a little more laidback than L\u2019Hospitalet or Barcelona. The main sights are the Roman ruins and the Puig i Cadafalch architecture. It\u2019s located south of the Costa Brava, so you can easily visit Matar\u00f3 from your Costa Brava vacation rental<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Sitges.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mediterranean Beauty<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, many people who take a holiday in Spain<\/u><\/a> want sun, sea, and sand, and Barcelona province has plenty! As well as the fascinating and historic cities, there\u2019s also a number of smaller coastal resorts that scream “Mediterranean!”. Sitges is one of these areas, and it\u2019s 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<\/u><\/a> overlooking the famous golden coast.<\/p>\n
