We are in the middle of summer and if you don’t have shelter from the heat, being in Barcelona can become a real hell. So if the beach is far from home, you don’t like the sand or you prefer a place to cool off a little less crowded, we bring you our favorite pools in the city so you can cool off and take a dip.
