Platja del Somorrostro

  Platja del Somorrostro sits along the Mediterranean coast in the vibrant district of La Barceloneta, just a short stroll from the iconic W Barcelona Hotel. Historically, this beach emerged in the late 20th century as part of efforts to rejuvenate the waterfront for the 1992 Olympics, transforming it into a lively area for both locals and visitors. The beach stretches approximately 600 meters and features a wide sandy area ideal for sunbathing and a promenade that's perfect for leisurely walks. In the warmer months, particularly from June to September, it becomes a hotspot for beachgoers and volleyball enthusiasts. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, from swimming in the clear waters to sampling local seafood at nearby restaurants.
