What to bring
- Comfortable shoes
- Light jacket
- Restaurant bookings
- Reusable water bottle
Must Know
Book the dinner stop ahead. 7 Portes is popular, especially for evening rice and seafood, so reserve before building the day around it.
Pro Tip
Go lighter early. Treat the markets as tastings and small bites so Cal Pep and the waterfront dinner still make sense later.
Worth Noting
Keep the beach flexible. If the weather is poor, shorten Barceloneta Beach and spend more time around Port Vell or El Born.
