98ª Travessia Port de Barcelona

Barcelona offers a dense concentration of lodging options. Swimmers typically opt for boutique hotels located in the historic harbor district or restored apartments in the nearby Barceloneta area, which was traditionally home to fishing communities. For those preferring a more social atmosphere, several hostels and modern guesthouses are situated within walking distance of the Moll de Bosch i Alsina. Expect to pay between €120 and €250 per night for high-quality central accommodation, depending on the proximity to the waterfront and the season.

The race weekend in Barcelona serves as an ideal base for exploring maritime culture. Swimmers can dedicate time to visiting the Maritime Museum, located in the historic shipyards, or take guided kayak tours to view the harbor’s architecture from a different angle. The area surrounding the port also offers extensive opportunities for coastal trekking along the paths of Montjuïc, where history and panoramic views of the Mediterranean converge. Many athletes conclude their stay by exploring the local gastronomy, specifically the traditional seafood tapas found in the narrow streets of the old town.
