Taking a Barcelona holiday<\/a> provides you with both the beach and the mountains on your doorstep, as well as numerous opportunities to discover the city\u2019s historic architecture. While it\u2019s easy to be blinded by the beauty of Barcelona, it\u2019s important not to overlook some of the spectacular places that are located just outside of Barcelona\u2019s border, such as the following.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Villa Torrelles de Llobregat.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Agrari Park<\/strong><\/p>\n

Situated just south of Barcelona\u2019s Llobregat district, Agrari Park is often referred to as \u2018Barcelona\u2019s backyard\u2019. A historic agricultural area, there is an extensive agro-ecosystem here with all sorts of plants, crops, and wildlife. Tours to the park have recently been introduced in an effort to encourage more people to eat fresh and highlight ecotourism in Spain. If you\u2019ve ever eaten artichoke when you\u2019ve been on holiday in Spain<\/a>, chances are it came from the Agrari Park region!<\/p>\n

Rubi<\/strong><\/p>\n

The little town of Rubi lies about 9 miles north of Barcelona and makes for an excellent day trip from your Barcelona accommodation<\/a>. Rubi is a real blend of old and new with historic Roman ruins mixed with more modern architecture, built following the flood of 1962. One of the biggest attractions here is the town museum, located inside an old converted farmhouse. The museum tells stories of the town\u2019s history and offers an extensive open space for exhibitions and concerts.<\/p>\n

Badalona.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Badalona<\/strong><\/p>\n

The coastal city of Badalona is very close to Barcelona and is home to old Roman baths, a historic 19th-century theatre, neoclassical churches, great shopping streets, and golden beaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
