Barcelona Beaches, Spain

May 2, 2023 | Beach, Spain

I visited three beaches near Barcelona, Spain. They are Barceloneta Beach, Nova Icària Beach, and Bogatell Beach.  They are located close to each other.

Barceloneta Beach: Pg. Marítim de la Barceloneta, s/n, 08003 Barcelona, Spain

Barceloneta Beach.  Located in the traditional fishing district, this is one of Barcelona’s oldest and best-loved beaches. It is thought to have inspired Miguel de Cervantes as the setting for the fight between Don Quixote and the Knight of the White Moon. It was here that the knight errant was finally defeated and abandoned his quest.

The next one is the Nova Icària beach.  The beach, along with the Bogatell beach, is the one with the longest stay by users, possibly because it is considered one of the quietest in the city.

When I visited, there was a dancing show near the beach.

Some people did not wear a bra even though this was not a nude beach.

Next to Icaria Beach is Bogatell Beach, a nude beach where clothing is optional.

A bar on the nude beach, and the people here wear clothes.

More people wore clothes than not, and more males were naked than females.
