Destination guide

Get off the beaten path in the Province of Barcelona

One huge cut-out of Catalonia, the Province of Barcelona is best-known for its namesake city. But while the home of Antoni Gaudi continues to pulse with its sleepless La Rambla and soaring Sagrada spires, the rest of the region is a place distinctly more off-the-beaten-track. You'll discover its wonders rising with the massifs of the Sierra de la Marina and the Sant Llorenc del Munt, hiding mysterious monasteries and pine-shrouded villages. There are loads of Province of Barcelona holiday rentals to pick from, ranging from villas in the hills to stylish pads close to happening Sitges and the Costa Brava.

Things to do

Culture everywhere in the Province of Barcelona

Province of Barcelona holiday rentals in Barcelona itself can't help but be surrounded by culture and heritage. It oozes from the ornate spires of the Sagrada Familia, the Cubist portraiture of the Picasso Museum and the opulent MNAC with its ecclesiastical frescos and wood carvings. A jaunt to the Montserrat Monastery promises even more grandeur in the mountains, while the Episcopal Museum in Vic and the Maricel Museum in Sitges promise masterworks of religious and Romanesque leanings.

Activities

Explorers assemble in Province of Barcelona

The greater Province of Barcelona is ripe for budding adventurers. As the sierras rise and rise away from the coast, there are miles of winding roadways to purr around on the motorbike or in a rental car, each revealing hidden mountain towns like ancient Vic and Berga sat in the shadow of the Pyrenees. Hiking the massifs is a great way to get a feel for the untrodden character of this hilly land, while long-distance cycling, camping, ad hoc picnic stops and charming weekend markets are also all on the menu.

Weather

Warm days in the Province of Barcelona

It's not surprising that most travellers wait for the summer months of June, July and August to go looking for those Province of Barcelona holiday rentals with a pool – the scorching temperatures between the 20s and the 30s are perfect for lapping up the rays by the edge of the water. Others will prefer to bag a stay here in spring or autumn. That's because months like April, May, September and October see far fewer people flocking to the cultural attractions in the cities and mountain towns.

Natural features

High above the beaches in Province of Barcelona

The Province of Barcelona encompasses the wide sands of Sitges and long stretches of the rock-ribbed Costa Brava – one of the lesser-known sections of the Spanish coast, famed for its rugged bays and clear blue seas. As you move inland from that, you'll pass a montage of low hills and sierras that quickly become shrouded in pine woods and peppered with monasteries. It's up there that reserves like Sant Llorenc del Munt, Serra del Catllaras and Valls de l'Anoia host hikers between their grassy meadows and sculpted peaks.
