As you know, one of the great attractions of the city of Barcelona is that it offers good beaches, as well as a lively seafront promenade near the city centre. However, for much of the year these beaches are saturated with bathers. Moreover, in many cases the state of the water is not to be taken for a ride. For this reason, many people decide to spend their days at the beach in nearby towns, which can be easily reached by public transport.
One of these places is Badalona, which receives more and more tourists every summer, among other things thanks to the quality of its beaches. Today we’re going to tell you about the 9 beaches in this city in the province of Barcelona. Will you join us?
