Platja del Bogatell – Cementiri del Poblenou stop (towards Fòrum)
A stop to enjoy Barcelona’s four kilometres of beaches and discover an 18th-century cemetery that is full of Neoclassical mausoleums and sculptures.
The beaches, an open-air leisure centre
The Green Route of Barcelona Bus Turístic hugs the coastline and stops at Bogatell, one of the city’s most popular beaches, and next to Poblenou Cemetery, the first burial ground built outside the city walls.
From this stop you can access the cemetery to contemplate some of the most significant funeral works of art from the second half of the 19th century and enjoy a day’s sunbathing or sport at the beach. In fact, on the beaches and the promenade you will find many of the city’s residents riding bicycles, jogging or playing volleyball.
