This weekend begins the high bathing season on the beaches of Barcelona. Throughout the summer and until September 11, the facilities for rescue and first aid are open to the public from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The beach for dogs, on Llevant beach, is one of the services that will be launched this Saturday, coinciding with the high bathing season, from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. This area is delimited with perimeter fences to prevent dogs from leaving and has information and cleaning services, as well as street furniture adapted to dogs and users.
