Best Indoor Pools During Winter in Barcelona

During the winter months in Barcelona, many of us miss those warm dips in the sea we have become so accustomed over the summer. With temperatures dropping below 12°C from December to March, the sea is pretty much off the cards for most of us. However, with the large number of indoor swimming pools located around the city, there is no need to go without.

Whether you are looking to spend the day splashing about with the family or are seeking an alternative for your daily exercise, Barcelona has a range of options for you.
