Don’t forget to book a wonderful apartment to enjoy your holidays in Barcelona

One of the best times of the year to enjoy Barcelona is in springtime and what better way to stroll around this gorgeous metropolis and visit the beautiful outdoor works of art, architecture and gardens? You can probably name the most obvious and no less wonderful, such as the Park Guell and La Sagrada Familia but have you thought about the many alternatives? Here’s a little sample of other great springtime outings. Visit the Roman Augustine columns. They are hidden in the courtyard of the Centre Excursionista de Barcelona, a hiking club. These remains of the Temple of Augustus are an interesting link to the city’s past.

Or stop at the Maritime Museum and the imposing Royal Shipyards that date back to the 13th and 14th centuries. Another must is a walk along Passeig de Gràcia where the works of the Great Catalan modernista architects are seen right next to each other: Domènech i Montaner’s Casa Lleó Morera, Puig i Cadafalch’s Casa Ametller, Gaudí’s Casa Batlló and Enric Sagnier’s Casa Mulleras.There is so much more to see; if you love parks don’t miss the botanical Ciutadella Park, the English style Turó Park and the Mediterranean Castell de l'Oreneta Park. The beach is always a wonderful option with abundant sun but be sure to visit the beautiful sculptures of Juan Muñoz’s installation that faces the San Sebastià beach in Barceloneta.

In order to enjoy optimally don’t forget to book a wonderful apartment, preferably with roof terrace that overlooks a part of the city – Barcelona Properties has a superb selection of great rentals that cater to all your needs.
