Introduction
In our charming 3-day trip we will engulf into the magic of Badalona, Spain. Get ready to embrace the allure of beautiful beaches, captivating heritage and mouth-watering cuisine of this lesser-known Spanish gem.
Day 1 - Delectable Dive into Badalona
Today we'll start by hitting the soft sands of Platja del Coco, one of Badalona's pristine beaches. Pull up a towel, latch on your sunshade and enjoy the early rays! After a beachy morning dive, we'll head over to the dreamlike Pont del Petroli. Originally a 'petrolium bridge', it now serves as an astounding public walkway stretching into the Mediterranean. You can even spot some marine life from the surface! As the day winds down, let's trot over to the dazzling Badalona City Museum. Delve into more than 3,500 years of history of this ancient Spanish city. Immerse yourself in the archaeological remains of the old Roman city of Baetulo, preserved in the basement. A late dinner with some local favorites like Tapas will give our day a perfect close. Goodnight!
Day 2 - The Heritage Horizon of Badalona
Ready for some action? Day two is all about culture and heritage! Firstly, a walking tour of the historic district of Dalt de la Vila is a must. Get lost in its narrow streets, charming pastel houses and the iconic Santa Maria church. After all the morning ramble, fill up your afternoon by taking a customary Spanish Siesta. We'll need the energy for the night! As the sun sets, we'll transition into the intriguingly illuminated Anís del Mono factory. Yep, you guessed it! We're going to Spain's oldest anise distillery! Get ready to taste and learn the production process of this iconic 'Monkey Anise'. To end our day, we'll head to Magic, a hip spot for sumptuous dinner and to enjoy Badalona's vibrant nightlife.
Day 3 - The Natural Nooks of Badalona
Wake up to the scent of the sea for one last time! Today, we'll start by visiting the serene Parc de Can Solei and take a leisurely walk amidst the greenery. Then, a drive towards the beautiful rural landscapes of Montigalà where you can enjoy gorgeous mountaintop views of the city. Wine enthusiasts, gear up because we're heading towards Alta Alella which is a family run organic winery. It's not just about wine tasting, but appreciating the whole process from grape to glass. As our trip comes to a close, nothing says farewell like celebrating with dinner at one of the footside restaurants with a paella and some hearty local cuisine.
