Best Chiringuitos in Barcelona
Chiringuitos are a classic go-to spot in the summer season. Translated into English, the word means beach bars. In Barcelona, you will find many chiringuitos along the coastline. On hot summer days, when you are relaxing on the beach, you can pop into a Chiringuito to grab a drink and a bite to eat.
Originally chiringuitos were only supposed to offer food and drinks, but nowadays in Barcelona, they have waiters coming to the tables, live DJ’s, and much more! They start to open in the spring, right before the summer heat hits the city. During the day you can enjoy some lunch and a cocktail. Then later at night, most chiringuitos transform into a beach party… so beware. Keep in mind though that chiringuitos are usually not very cheap since they are located right on the beach.
KEEP IN MIND THAT ALL CHIRINGUITOS ARE LOCATED ON THE BEACH AND THEY ARE ONLY OPEN IN THE SUMMER.
