Barcelona is the capital city of Catalonia in Spain and is the second biggest city in the country. Found on the coast between the River Llobregat and the River Besòs, Barcelona is the largest city on the Mediterranean Sea with Serra de Collserola mountain range located to its west. Hiring a car from Barcelona gives you the chance to head to one of the city's World heritage Sites or visit the beach which was crowned number one in a list of top ten beaches in the world. Sport lovers will of course head off to Barcelona FC, one of the world's most well known football teams.
You can rent a car from Barcelona from our branch at Hotel NH Hesperia del Mar on Espronceda 6 and discover L'Aquarium de Barcelona which is the largest Mediterranean themed aquarium in the world. It houses 35 aquariums and a total of 11,000 animals from 450 different species. Its largest aquarium, the Oceanarium, holds nearly 4 million litres of water and is home to sand tiger sharks and the sandbar shark which are both star attractions. Enjoy a breath-taking walk under the sea along an 80 metre transparent tunnel for a unique view just inches away from the animals.
