Showing full respect to local culture is one of the main principles of sustainable tourism. But since it’s difficult to show respect to what we don’t know, before travelling to place, we should try and find out about the most important aspects of its tangible and intangible heritage. So if you’re thinking of visiting the regions of Barcelona in the near future, here are five keys to enjoying a truly authentic trip and not feeling like just another tourist as you travel around.

<p>Calella Lighthouse</p>

Calella is the tourism capital of the Maresme region, long renowned for the beauty of its beaches.

This essential guide, listing just seven of them, is just a little taster to whet your appetite for exploring the rest!

<p>Plaça de la Porxada in Granollers</p>

Getting to Granollers isn’t so easy but once you’re there you won’t want to leave.
