Barcelona is a frenetic city, packed with fashionable bars, award-winning restaurants, nightlife that lurches onwards until sunrise and endless tourist sites, with iconic Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia at its heart.
But there is another side to the Catalan capital. Many of its hotels are home to award-winning spas with Mayan-inspired saunas, hammams, wood-panelled treatment rooms and rainforest showers. After days pounding the pavement seeing the sights, or living it up at the city’s Primavera Festival, where music goes on until six in the morning, sometimes all you want is a comfy lounger by a rooftop pool to relax by and recuperate.
