Barcelona Beach House Vacation Rentals

European beach houses are a great way for families to relax and take in the sights and sound of the old world. Yet, while the continent has a wealth of classic culture to explore, travelers should not forget that there is a lively modern culture pervading many of Europe's large cities. Those vacationers who hope to take in some more contemporary culture while exploring a historical city will find all they need and more with a vacation beach rental in Barcelona, Spain.

As the capital of the Spanish region of Catalonia, Barcelona is a large and wondrous city that is deeply rooted in the country's culture. A global city currently ranking as the sixth most populous in all of Europe, Barcelona has emerged as a vibrant and cosmopolitan metropolis that offers a little something for everyone. Modernists will want to check out the beautiful architecture present throughout all of the city! A great place to start is to make a visit to the Eixample quarter a priority, as the area boasts a wealth of modernist buildings that are both historic and compellingly stylish. The city bears the mark of noted architect Antonio Gaudi, and some of the artist's most famous works can be found here. Chief among them is La Sagrada Familia, a beautiful unfinished church whose numerous spires and rippling contours have made the site one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country!

However, the most beautiful and attractive places to visit and spend time at in Barcelona are, of course, the beaches. National Geographic has labeled Barcelona as being "Number One in a List of the Top Ten City Beaches in the World". With their close proximity to the city and fun regions like Las Ramblas where all the nightclubs and nice areas are located, a Barcelona vacation beach rental will provide you with the opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds! A list of must-see Barcelona beaches includes: Barceloneta Beach, Bogatell Beach, Nova Icaria Beach, Mar Bella Beach, and Ocata Beach.
