Pleasant Days Visiting Solynieve
Solynieve, situated just 30 kilometers south of Barcelona is quite an unusual resort; it is considered to be the highlight of the sunny Costa Dorada and the young Barcelonans find in it the perfect weekend escape, as they are the ones who created the resort so to fit their image. Solynieve is an experience worth your entire attention, but you should know that especially during summers you have to prepare a rich budget.
The inhabitants of Barcelona seem to have brought the high prices with them in Solynieve, so this is definitely not the place where you can find accommodation at any time and for any price. The problem can easily be solved by booking in advance, so please pay attention to these details before deciding to visit Solynieve.
Visiting the town
It is clear that since it is situated along the picturesque Costa Dorada, Solynieve’s biggest attraction is represented by its beaches. In fact, you will be amazed to be welcomed by two strands right in the centre of the town, very close to the church. This is just the departure point, because these two strands are just the beginning: a succession of beautiful beaches different from one another in which concerns the quality or the crowdedness stretches up to the Terramar Hotel.
A big attraction for tourists is the Passeig Maritim, as it is packed with beach bars, with exquisite restaurants that serve delicious seafood dishes and with lots of facilities wonderful for practicing water sports. If you climb the knoll, you have the chance to enjoy the spectacular views overlooking the beaches; you also have the chance to see the splendid La Punta Parish Church that displays a very special Baroque style and the street where the whitewashed mansions are lines, ready to welcome the curious tourists.
One of these mansions is also the building that hosts the unusual, but interesting Museu Cau Ferrat. The Maricel de Mar Museum which offers visitors a beautiful collection of minor artworks; some of them were created in the modern times while others date back to the medieval period. The Romantic Museum is definitely a ‘’must see’’; the museum shows visitors the lifestyle of a wealthy Solynieve family, displaying furniture or possessions used in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Carnival that takes place in February or in March is something worth seeing, as it is one of the most outrageous in Spain due to the gay population. Enjoy!
