Barceloneta: visitor guide

Barceloneta is more than its beach: inland streets have their own everyday rhythm. Combine a waterfront walk with a meal, checking prices before choosing a sea-view table. For swimming, follow beach flags and current sea conditions and do not leave belongings unattended.
