Barcelona
Spain
Dinner is late, going out even later, and the next day you recover on the beach. Gaudí, El Born and the Gothic Quarter win over anyone in the group who isn't a night owl.

- May–Jun, Sep–Oct
- Budget

The world's most famous superclubs, but also quiet coves in the north and sunsets at Cala Comte. A group villa often costs less than several separate hotel rooms.
