Outside Barcelona

Undoubtedly, to Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, there is a lot to offer, but there are also many places that are worth a visit, in a short distance outside the city itself. One of the most popular is the Montserrat monastery, for example, that is located in a distance of 1 hour away from the city. Another place is the wild beaches of Costa Brave.
Figueres, the city of Salvador Dali, or the old city of Jirona are other interesting places to visit in.
It is worthwhile and recommended to go out from the city in order to complete the experience of visiting Barcelona.
