INTERSPORT Rent Tip
Our RENTertainers recommend
Are you visiting Barcelona in late autumn or winter? Then you should plan a day trip to the mountains of Catalonia! From Barcelona, you can take the ski bus to La Molina or Masella, the largest ski resort in the region – ski pass and insurance included.
For a hearty lunch, we recommend: butifarra from the grill, the Catalan version of a bratwurst.
