WHY BARCELONA
A beach, a mountain and a grid of good restaurants in one city.
Barcelona does the rare thing of being a proper city and a seaside break at once. We pick hotels with rooftop pools and real spas in the Eixample and the old town, a short walk or metro from the sand, Gaudí and the market halls.

Barcelona, answered.
When is the best time to visit Barcelona?

How do I get to Barcelona?
Barcelona is reachable by road and rail, or a short flight from the UK. Retreat48 picks the sensible airport or route and times the real door-to-door journey for you.
What is Barcelona best for?
Barcelona is best for city break, beach time and food & wine. A beach, a mountain and a grid of good restaurants in one city.
