![Camp Nou]()
Camp Nou
It is a must-see for all the football fans who visit Barcelona. This wonderful stadium, whose name means "New pitch", is actually not that new, as it was built in the 1950s. However, at that time it was called that way to set it apart from the ancient stadium, located...

La Sagrada Família
The Great Wall of China, the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, the ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru and those of Chichen Itza in Mexico, the amphitheatre called Colosseum in Rome, the temple of Taj Mahal in India, the Great...

![Pans & Company]()
Pans & Company
For a start, let me say that I am not at all the kind of person that frequently goes to fast food restaurants, so do not blame me for this entry which constitutes the exception rather than the rule for me. Although, should you need a cheap and consistent lunch (as in a...

![Bosc de les Fades]()
Bosc de les Fades
Could you think possible to find a quiet and enchanted place, looking like a fairy tale forest, just a few steps from the Rambla in Barcelona? Probably very few people would have thought it possible...and yet, that it exactly how this unique local called Bosc de les...

![Sagardi]()
Sagardi
If you are looking for a trendy and celebrated local where tasty pintxos and appetizers and delicious cocktails are served, Sagardi is probably a good place for you. One of the several locals situated in La Ribera (I admit being particularly fascinated by this...

![Frankfurt Munich]()
Frankfurt Munich
Located just a stone's throw from the Camp Nou stadium, this local is not particularly typical nor elegant, but it represents a cheap and reliable option for those who may be feeling peckish coming out from the Camp Nou or Palau Blaugrana. It was indeed my case when,...

![La Llantia]()
La Llantia
As I have stated several times, the district of La Ribera offers several interesting places for a lunch in Barcelona. Along the two sides of the fascinating Passeig del Born, or hidden in the narrow streets which characterise the area between Santa Maria del Mar and...
-
![Bar La Tasqueta]()
Bar La Tasqueta
I must admit I have not been very lucky so far in my search for a good place to eat in Barcelona. When I have to decided not to rely on the guide and look for a restaurant on my own, indeed, I have never been very satisfied with my pick. Of course, it is not that I have...
-
![L'Eixample]()
L'Eixample
If a time machine brought us back in time to the first decades of the 19th century, few people would probably identify that unspoilt, almost desolated area with the modern Eixample, probably the most fashionable district in Barcelona. As a matter of fact, two rows of...
-
![La Ribera]()
La Ribera
This district, officially called "Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera", is doubtlessly one of the most fascinating areas of Barcelona. Its name is obviously due to the proximity to the sea ("Ribera" means indeed "shore"). The southern part of the district, indeed,...
-
![Museu Maritim]()
Museu Maritim
Happening to be strolling at the end of the Rambla, I spotted this interesting museum and dropped in almost accidentally. At the end of my visit, though, I found I had learnt some interesting things about the maritime history of Barcelona. In addition to this, I had the...
-
![Casa Milà]()
Casa Milà
Approaching the crossroads with Carrer de Provença, though, your attention will be inevitably caught and your curiosity aroused either by a swarm of people standing (or queuing) in front of an imposing building, or by the building itself. And indeed, Casa Milà,...
-
![Palau Reial Major]()
Palau Reial Major
Not to be confused with the Palau Reial de Pedralbes, already described in a previous post, the Palau Reial Major is located in the very heart of Barcelona, namely in Plaza del Rei. Dating back to the 13th century, it presents a mighty and austere architecture, devoid...
-
![Palau del Lloctinent]()
Palau del Lloctinent
Though I have already briefly described this wonderful palace in one of the entries devoted to the centre of Barcelona, I really think it deserves to be further dealt with. Not that it is particularly difficult to find it; on the contrary, it is located right next to...
-
![Bar O'Ceo]()
Bar O'Ceo
Of course, it is not easy to find a cheap place to eat in the centre of Barcelona. Even more difficult it is to come across a place which combines good quality food with reasonable prices. Although, I must admit that the only good thing I can say about this bar is that...
-
![Casa Delfìn]()
Casa Delfìn
This elegant place, according to what I had read, had been defined one of the top restaurants in Barcelona. Quite curious about such a flattering reputation, I decided to find out if that fame was well deserved. Upon the whole, I shall say that Casa Delfìn generally...
-
![Mar de la Ribera]()
Mar de la Ribera
Situated in a very favourable position, right next to the church of Santa Maria del Mar, this small restaurant is probably not to be included in the list of the top places in Barcelona. Anyway, it represents a good choice for those who may happen to need a place to eat...
-
![Museu de Historia de Barcelona]()
Museu de Historia de Barcelona
If I had found the visit to the Museu Frederic Mares quite disappointing, fortunately I did not have to go very far to find something more interesting to see. Having gone through the wonderful Palau del Lloctinent, indeed, I reached Plaza del Rei, where the entrance to...
-
![Museu Frederic Mares]()
Museu Frederic Mares
Surprised by some chilly showers of rain in the centre of Barcelona, I once decided to take shelter in some of the few museums which the Ciutat Vella has to offer. The first of them has been the museum Frederic Mares, located in the ancient palace of the earls of...
-
![Casa Amatller]()
Casa Amatller
The grass is always greener on the other side. Or at least, this is what one may think when visiting Casa Amatller, a charming building whose only drawback is having been built in the wrong place, namely right next to Casa Battlò on Passeig de Gracia. Indeed, most of...
