About Barcelona Province
Barcelona Province extends well beyond the city, linking the Mediterranean coast with wine country, historic towns and mountain landscapes. Barcelona itself is the main gateway, while Montserrat, the Penedès area and coastal communities provide easy contrasts within a relatively compact part of Catalonia. Rail is useful for many coastal and urban trips, while a car is more practical for rural areas and dispersed viewpoints. Plan the province as a collection of distinct stays rather than a single city break, and reserve major attractions in advance during busy periods.
