<p>Children love nautical centers</p>

When the good weather arrives, the beach is one of the tourist attractions that everyone likes, especially families with children, since the huge variety of seaside activities on offer guarantee hours of playtime, physical exercise and entertainment. What's more, on the Costa Barcelona there are six towns that hold the Family Holiday Destination seal, which means they're particularly attentive to children's needs. Would you like to know which ones they are?

Which Barcelona do you know? The beaches of Maresme, Montserrat, Montseny or Sitges are some of the jewels you should visit if you come to Barcelona this summer. Set aside a couple of days to discover a unique region with a cultural, natural and culinary heritage that will surprise you.

Get ready to explore (or re-explore!) enchanting spots that are steeped in history, nature, culture and authenticity. They are just a stone’s throw from Barcelona and have so much to offer. Here are 10 ideas to fill you with energy and make you want to hit the road!

<p>European Balloon Festival</p>

Do you fancy seeing more than 50 hot-air balloons in flight over Anoia? Well, don’t miss the European Balloon Festival! Enjoy competitions, exhibitions, concerts and hot-air balloon flights. This is the most important hot air balloon meet in Southern Europe.

In this ancient country we're passionate about protecting and celebrating our festivals and traditions. We enjoy our great Mediterranean climate, sea, landscape and traditions with festive, joyful and infectious enthusiasm! Drop everything and join us as we usher in the main festivals of our towns and cities. In addition to paying homage to the local patron saint, you can enjoy plenty of other activities in these popular and inclusive festivals: street parades, gegants and capgrossos (papier mâché giant and "big head" figures), trabucaires (bandits carrying blunderbuss guns), music, dancing, diables (groups of people dressed as devils who set off fireworks) and spectacular human towers.

Sabies que al Berguedà s’hi amaga una de les obres menys conegudes d’Antoni Gaudí? A la Pobla de Lillet ja ho sabien, entre els veïns i veïnes sempre s'havia comentat; els experts ho sospitaven. Però no ha estat fins aquest 2026 que la Càtedra Gaudí de la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya n’ha certificat definitivament l’autoria.
