A Barcelona local's guide to the coastal escapes by train
Published Jul 5, 2026
Photographer and DJ, long-time Poblenou resident. Documents the galleries tour buses skip and the afterhours spots that never make Time Out.
Background: Contemporary art and underground nightlife
Credentials: Exhibited at local galleries, plays at small Barcelona venues
No car, no problem. Two Rodalies lines carry you north and south of the city, dropping you at coves, family beaches and locals-only strips of sand for the price of a coffee.
Local tip
Two and a half kilometres of wide golden sand where Barcelona families quietly relocate for the day, five minutes' walk from the station. Space to spread out, calm water, chiringuitos when you want them, and the Barcelona skyline just visible on the horizon.
