The capital city of Catalonia, which is also Spain\u2019s second largest city, is quite incomparable because of its stunning architecture and historic sites like the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo, and Casa Mila. But apart from these must-see heritage destinations, Barcelona also has adrenaline-inducing outdoor activities. Here are some of our favourites we want to tell you about:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rowing at Parc de la Ciutadella<\/strong><br \/>\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-193531\" src=\"\/\/catalunyacasas.kigobook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/914\/2019\/02\/800px-Ciutadella_Park_fountain.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"563\"><br \/>\nTo get you warmed up for your outdoor adventure in Barcelona, start by renting a rowboat at Parc de la Ciutadella. The park is a green oasis in the heart of the city and it\u2019s well-known for its inviting and relaxing atmosphere. A small rowboat can be rented for half an hour at a time and will allow you to go around the green lake. You can also feed the ducks at the lake in between rowing. And since the site is vast,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cntraveler.com\/activities\/barcelona\/parc-de-la-ciutadella\">Conde Nast Traveler also recommends that you stop by Barcelona\u2019s city zoo<\/a>&nbsp;and regional parliament\u2014all within the park grounds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cycle through the Montju\u00efc Route<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-193532\" src=\"\/\/catalunyacasas.kigobook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/914\/2019\/02\/800px-Montjuic_Castle_2929306369.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturetrip.com\/europe\/spain\/articles\/the-most-scenic-cycling-routes-in-barcelona\/\">The Montju\u00efc is home to attractive landmarks<\/a>&nbsp;like the Joan Mir\u00f3 Foundation, the Olympic Stadium, and the Montju\u00efc Castle. The biking route begins at Pla\u00e7a d\u2019Espanya and heads down Av. Reina Maria Cristina. It turns right towards Av. de l\u2019Estadi, which takes you up a gentle climb. If you want a more challenging hike, you can turn left to C\/Leida and the Passeig de Santa Madron. You can also go around the Olympic Stadium and then head to Montj\u00fcic Castle through Passeig del Migdia. There\u2019s also a hidden outdoor bar at the back of the castle in case you need some refreshments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Windsurfing the Catalonian Coast<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-193533\" src=\"\/\/catalunyacasas.kigobook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/914\/2019\/02\/pexels-photo-877369.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"940\" height=\"626\"><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing like the windy coves on the northern coast of Barcelona, especially when the conditions are right, with the closest beaches 15 minutes away from Las Ramblas. The seaside neighbourhood of La Barceloneta is one of the local beaches that is popular with thrill seekers, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/barcelonando.com\/barceloneta\">Barcelona N\u2019 Do says it\u2019s one of the most famous beaches in the city<\/a>. In the south of Barcelona, you can go to the small bay of Garraf, which is considered one of the most picturesque surf spots in the city. If you like small waves, Garraf is a perfect choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Try out Bossaball at Swimming Club Barcelona<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-193534\" src=\"\/\/catalunyacasas.kigobook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/914\/2019\/02\/800px-Bossaball-wiki-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"552\"><\/p>\n<p>The Bossaball court looks more like a water park ride than an actual sporting venue, but it\u2019s a very serious sport despite it being one of the world\u2019s weirdest games. The best way to play it is at the beach with live music \u2013 it is as exhilarating as it is challenging.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/news.ladbrokes.com\/uncategorized\/worlds-most-popular-obscure-sports.html\">It originated in Spain in 2005<\/a>&nbsp;and is played on an inflatable court featuring a trampoline on each side of the net. The trampoline allows the players to jump high, spike the ball over the net and earn points. It\u2019s quite competitive and literally breathtaking as it\u2019s very acrobatic and physically demanding. In Barcelona, you can try it at Club Nataci\u00f3 Barcelona, which is just a few kilometres away from some of the best Barcelona vacation rentals\/<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hike to the Bunkers del Carmel<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-193535\" src=\"\/\/catalunyacasas.kigobook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/914\/2019\/02\/800px-View_from_the_Bunkers_del_Carmel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\"><\/p>\n<p>From your vacation rental in Barcelona, walk up Parc del Guinardo until you reach the top. It may be a little tiring, but once you get to the bunkers at the top, it will definitely be worth it. Bunkers del Carmel is said to be one of Barcelona\u2019s best-kept secrets, but today it has become well-known for the jaw-dropping panoramic views it affords of the city. You can also access the bunkers via the Carrer de La Gran Vista and follow it around until you come by Carrer del Panorama where you&#8217;ll find the famous arbre del l&#8217;amour.<\/p>\n<p>Next time you <a href=\"https:\/\/catalunyacasas.com\/\">visit Barcelona<\/a>, we encourage you to go on a food trip so you can get a taste of the local bestsellers and traditional recipes. You should also&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/catalunyacasas.com\/blog\/barcelonas-top-sights-to-see\/\">visit the Font Magica<\/a>&nbsp;located just below the Palau Nacional, to watch its impressive show of water, music, and light. No matter where you are and what your interest is, there\u2019s something for you in Barcelona. Finding places to stay wouldn\u2019t be a problem, too, as there are a lot of Barcelona villas with pools waiting for travellers like you.<\/p>\n<p><em>Piece specially submitted to catalunyacasas.com<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Submitted by: JBroadbent<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re a foodie looking for new recipes, an architect looking for inspiration, a photographer looking for a new subject,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":194925,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[609,47,599,116,16,574,356,326,18,589,607,67,592,57],"class_list":["post-193530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-adventure-and-activities","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-accommodationvacation-villa-spain","tag-barcelona-family-holiday","tag-barcelona-villa","tag-barcelona-villa-with-pool","tag-catalonia-culture","tag-catalonia-hiking","tag-catalunya-casas","tag-catalunya-casas-team","tag-family-activities-in-barcelona","tag-family-villa-spain","tag-romantic-catalunya","tag-villa-rental"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
