Especially in summer but during the rest of the year too, when they are full of people reading, doing some sport, out walking their dogs, listening to music or just contemplating the scene. Every beach has its own distinctive features but they all have the same services and conveniences. There are restaurants, kiosks selling drinks and ice cream, parasol and deckchair hire, leisure and sports areas, public toilets and changing areas, clothes lockers, showers, drinking water fountains and public advice.

LLEVANT BEACH Barcelona
FÒRUM BEACH Barcelona
 Living with year-round sunshine makes it possible to have pleasant weather and to enjoy the city to the full: you can eat at open-air restaurants at any time of the year or enjoy a drink at one of its many pavement cafés, with the Mediterranean as its outstanding backdrop.  Sutton - Located on Diagonal, this club hosts Studio 54 on Thursdays. If you like House or Techno music this is a must. Open until the metro starts back up, Sutton has a very large dance floor with two VIP rooms. It also has a small stage where multiple go-go dancers perform throughout the night. Catwalk. One of the most popular nightclubs in the city, with the peak time around 2AM. They offer 2 different floors with R&B and hip-hop styles mixed with House or Techno. Chupitos, are located in several locations through out the city, including one in Barceloneta. Chupitos is Spanish for "shots" and offers hundreds of unique shots including the "Harry Potter" (a shot that sparks as cinnamon is sprinkled over it), and "Monica Lewinsky" (a variety of flaming shots) amongst others. As much a show as it is a place to get a drink, it's a fun night out. Maumau A chilled out lounge bar with groovy tunes that uses its space to host short film nights, installations and concerts. Their webpage is worth a look for upcoming events and shows in Barcelona. Cafè Milans. Probably one of the most dynamic bars of the Gothic Area. Dj sessions, live exhibitions, art, and cocktails... La Paloma, Tigre 27 (M. Sant Antoni), Thu, Sat 10PM-5AM; Fri 2:30AM-5AM. A very popular night club. Crowded in late nights, packed with young and beautiful people (La Paloma is currently closed. It's not known when the club will open its doors again) entrance €5-15. Shoko,. Designed by a Feng Shui expert, Shoko serves you good karma all night. Depending on the night, the dj usually spins House or Hip Hop tunes. London Bar, London Bar is basically a pub, but a pub that has been open since 1910 and used to be frequented by the likes of Dali, Picasso and Hemingway. The atmosphere is lively and friendly, it’s a great place to just pop into and the prices aren’t that bad, bottle beer 3 euros and a spirit + mixer at 6 euros. There is also absinthe for the foolhardy! La Concha, La Concha, located off Carrer Nou de la Rambla on Carrer de Guàrdia, is a bohemian hole in the wall hookah bar. It boasts a moroccan gay bar feel, but with a lively, mixed crowd of friendly 20 and 30 somethings drinking cocktails and smoking shisha. Definitely not "tourist-y", and in a neighborhood that requires attention late at night, but friendly and fun for the traveler looking for a little local adventure.  Barcelona International Airport (IATA: BCN, ICAO: LEBL), also known as El Prat, is a major transport hub and fields flights from all over Europe and beyond. Terminals: There are now two terminals, T1 and T2, the latter with A, B, and C subdivisions. T1 and T2 are linked by a bus shuttle (every 6 to 8 minutes, travel time 10 minutes). T1 has opened in June 2009 and hosts Spanair and a variety of major international airlines (e.g. SAS, TAP, Lufthansa, Austrian). Sectors A, B and C of T2 are all within fairly easy walking distance of each other. T2 B is used by some Spanish carriers (Iberia, Air Europa, Vueling) and their partners (eg members of Oneworld alliance for Iberia). T2 C is smallest and used for all domestic flights, including the Puente Aereo (Air shuttle) to Madrid. T2 A is used for all other flights except those now departing from the new T1. Please be aware that you can check in for your flight only at the respective terminal T1 or T2, and since they are miles apart and there is little information available at the train station and bus stops, it will be good advice to know where to go before arriving at the airport. AENA provides information about the allocation of airlines to terminals.  Also bus 46 runs from both terminals (downstairs at T1) to Magic Fountains (1 hour)  Duty-free shops. Open from 6/6:30AM to 9:30PM (few to 10PM). Shops are numerous and some are hard to find elsewhere in the city. After security check, most shops are before the passport control; only one or two are afterwards.  Cafes, pre-security check. Limited options, sub-standard fare. Food at Ars is awful and not cheap. Pans & Company have almost no hot meals. Cafes, post-security check. Numerous options, all close something between 10PM and 11PM. Parking: Costs €1.35/hour, €9.45/day, €6.75/day from the 6th day. Luggage lockers: Baggage storage is €4.60 per day for a large locker that easily fits 2-3 serious suitcases. Left-hand end of Terminal 2B, behind the Ars cafe. Departure gates: For T2, poorly conditioned at ground level (at least gate #57, sector 2A, after 11PM). T1 is hyper-modern and comfortable. WiFi: Available throughout the airport, operated by KubiWireless €7.5 for 45min, €9 for 1 hour, €15 for 24 hours. Nearby airports Some low-cost carriers, notably Ryanair, use the airports in Girona, nearly 100km to the north, or Reus, around the same distance to the south, instead  Barcelona is easily Spain's pickpocketing capital. As always be alert in crowded places, such as public transport, train and bus stations, La Rambla and Raval. People may approach you asking for change, or to change money. Just ignore them. If you are asked to change money, then it has been known that official looking police will approach you afterwards to 'check' your wallet for ID etc. These are not police, so be at your most vigilant, otherwise you might find they have taken a few cards or cash upon returning your wallet. The Football trick is a local specialty.   Rainfall, which is occasionally heavy, averages 1,000 mm a year. This weather makes it possible to maintain the many green areas around Barcelona.
