The Club Natación in Barcelona has to be one of the best sports centres in the city! It is great for swimmers and also for gym fanatics! The large building is located in Barceloneta, at the far end of the beach, with a beautiful view over the ocean. The changing rooms are lovely, one upstairs and one downstairs and the cleaning staff are always around and always seem to be happy and chatty! The fitness room is huge and there never seems to be any queues for the machines. The facilities are great. There is a 25m indoor pool with what seems like 50 lanes for swimming!! It is always a pleasure to go for a swim there, as it is never too busy. There is an outside summer pool and a HEATED OUTDOOR POOL! So you can swim in the winter under the moonlight! As well as the pools and the fitness centre, you can join hundreds of different classes and training sessions. Membership is extremely cheap for what is on offer, at 32 euros a month (with an initial registration fee also). To join you will need a Spanish bank account, passport or ID card and 2 passport photos. To get there by Metro, you need to take Line 4 (Yellow line) to 'Barceloneta' and then walk towards the beach for 500m or so - the sports centre is then at the end of the road. Or buses 17, 39 and 64 stop directly outside the centre. See you there!
