A trip to one of Barcelona\u2019s nearby beach towns<\/strong> doesn\u2019t need to wait until summer rolls around again. While the sandy shores and gentle lapping of the Mediterranean<\/strong> is most often the crowd-puller to these heritage towns<\/a> located just outside of the city, there\u2019s also much more on offer particularly if you\u2019re interested in intriguing history<\/strong>, local culture<\/strong> and delectable cuisine<\/strong><\/a>. One such place that\u2019s an easy day trip during your stay in Barcelona<\/a> is Altafulla<\/strong>, a little dot on the map around an hour\u00a0away from Barcelona by train. There you\u2019ll find historical buildings<\/strong>\u00a0such as El castell dels Montserrat d’Altafulla<\/strong>, a charming old town with its tiny square\u00a0La Placeta<\/strong> as well as some great places to eat tucked away in the town’s stone walls. Altafulla can be considered one of Catalonia’s hidden gems<\/a>.<\/p>\n
