Barcelona is one giant playground for children and teenagers, not only because of the sea and the mountains, but also because of the numerous clubs and teams in each area. Most sports centres have a range of teams, with swimming and football being the most popular. In summer months, the most popular way for kids to burn some excess energy is at the beach or local outdoor swimming pool. Below are indications of some fun family activities for full-day outings. Check entertainment guides such as El Guía del Ocio (www.guiadelocio.com) and the Ajuntament’s website (www.bcn.es) on a regular basis for upcoming children’s activities. Barcelona Turisme (www.barcelonaturisme.com) is also a useful source of information.
