And from the Madanis hotels, everything is right at your fingertips.
July in Barcelona is pure enjoyment: the city buzzes with activities that combine leisure, culture, and refreshing moments. If you stay at the Hotel Madanis, the Madanis Liceo, or the Arya Stadium Hotel, you don’t need big plans or long distances: you’ll have everything right at your fingertips.
Here are 5 ideas for enjoying summer as it deserves:
Outdoor cinema: magic under the stars
In summer, cinema takes to the streets. And in Barcelona, it does so in a big way:
Sala Montjuïc: open-air films at Montjuïc Castle, with a picnic and spectacular views.
Al fresco cinema in community centers: free screenings in charming squares and courtyards.
You can get there from any of our hotels by public transport… or even on foot!
Tip: bring a towel or blanket and arrive early. The atmosphere is part of the plan.
Ice Cream Shop (and Other Cold Treats) Trail
July calls for something sweet and ice-cold. Here are some irresistible stops:
Badiani (Avenida Diagonal): Italian tradition with creamy ice cream and unique flavors.
Parallelo Gelato (in Gràcia): artisanal ice cream shop with natural ingredients.
Oggi Gelato (Raval and Born): classic flavors and vegan sorbets.
And if you don’t want to go so far, on Carrer de Sants you’ll find local ice cream shops steeped in history and local prices.
Beaches: Beyond Barceloneta
Yes, Barceloneta is the most famous… but there are more and better ones if you venture a little further:
Mar Bella Beach: young, relaxed, with quiet areas and modern beach bars.
Bogatell Beach: wide, clean, and perfect for biking or walking from Poblenou.
Sant Sebastià Beach: ideal for a long afternoon with views of the W Hotel.
From our hotels, you can take the metro (Line 5 to Verdaguer + Line 4) or take the direct bus. We’ll give you the best route at reception.
Charming sunsets (and a good drink)
When the sun goes down, things change pace. Head up to the rooftop of the Arya Stadium Hotel, open from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., and relax with a cold drink and the neighborhood skyline as a backdrop.
And if you feel like going further, you’ll find terraces with a great local atmosphere in Plaza Osca.
Get a good night’s sleep to repeat the next day
After a day of movies, beach time, or sightseeing, nothing beats a cool, clean, and quiet room.
