10 reasons why you just have to experience Barcelona

1. The ocean

Why did I come to Barcelona and not to Madrid, the capital of Spain? There is no ocean in Madrid! And if you grew up on the central mainland, you just love the ocean – or at least I do. And Barcelona’s got a whole lot of it!.
So, if you like to dive into the water to cool off on a hot day or if you love to relax sitting on some rocks along the coast fishing, you've come to the right place! There are boats to rent, to take a cruise around, if you're feeling energetic...
At the district of Barceloneta you can watch the big ships leaving the harbor for their long journeys. Or you might just want to go for a walk along the seaside during sunset, which can be very romantic!.
