The heat wave of recent weeks, has made it almost impossible to take a stroll through Barcelona.. The summer has only just begun and if your idea is to come to Barcelona with young children, this finding in the heart of the Eixample district, will save many tears, and serve to cool you all down a bit before continuing your route through the city streets.

“The beach of l’Eixample, is a space of leisure where the little ones can swim in the pool and playing in the sand every day from June 24 until September 7. Its perfect location in the heart of Barcelona, allows the children to swim and play outdoors in the sand even the days you don’t have time to go all the way to the beach.

The entry is only € 1.45 or € 0.65 in the case of large families (3 or more children.) If you want to put your feet in the water you can do that from Monday to Friday from 10.00 to 20.00h and Saturdays and Sundays from 10.00 to 15.00h.

Since a few years back, Barcelona offer one of the best combinations of culture and entertainment for the summer: outdoor movies in  Sala Montjuïc. There is no better plan for the nights of Monday, Wednesday and Friday than to prepare a Picnic with good friends and eat it together sitting down on the lawn of the Montjuïc Castle, listening to live samba music while waiting for the movie to start.

Furthermore, as a tourist you cannot miss the stunning views of Barcelona that the viewpoint of the castle offers.

Practical tips:
-Even though it may be very hot in Barcelona, make sure you pack warm clothes because when it starts to darken it gets chilly and as the sea is very close there is plenty of moisture.
-Rent a comfortable chair for 3 €. Although it at first appears very comfortable sit on the grass, you will not know where to put your legs after 2 hours. Furthermore, if the people in front of you have a chair, chances are you will not see the screen.
-If you do not have a car, buses goes up out of the castle from Plaza Espanya from 20.30h.
-I suggest you arrive between 20.30 and 21.00h in order to get a good seat and enjoy your picnic with live music and short film projects.
-All films are in the original version, subtitled in Spanish, so enter their site and choose one that you can understand.
-Price of entrance: 5 €.
