Local Beaches
La Barceloneta is the most famous, but also the most crowded. For a more local experience, go to Bogatell beach (quiet and sporty) or Mar Bella beach (popular in the LGBTQ+ community).
Neighborhood Festivals
If you travel in summer, check if it coincides with a neighborhood's 'Festa Major' (Gràcia in August is the most famous). The streets are decorated and there are free concerts.
Meal Times
Times are late. Lunch is between 2:00 p.m.-3:30 p.m. Dinner does not start before 9:00 p.m.
Local Greetings
Greeting with 'Bon dia' (good morning) or 'Bonatarda' (good afternoon) in Catalan will be greatly appreciated by locals.
Tap Water and Fountains
Tap water is drinkable but strong-tasting. There are many public fountains ('fonts') throughout the city to refill your bottle.
24h Pharmacies
They are identified with a green cross. They offer advice for minor ailments and there is always a 'farmàcia de guàrdia' open 24 hours.
Constant Vigilance
The main security problem is petty theft, not violence. Watch your belongings at all times, especially in crowds.
Protect your Belongings
Always carry your bag or backpack closed and in front of your body. Never leave your phone or wallet on the table on terraces.
