Picasso Museum

Did you know Picasso lived part of his life in Barcelona? The city inspired him with its modern art buildings and gothic athmosphere. Therefore, many of the artist's pieces are there, more specifically in the Picasso Museum. Located in the middle of Barrio Gotico,...

Barcelona is a beach city, that's part of its charm. The seaside is great for spending time outisde, enjoying the sunny weather and admiring the horizon in the sea. Port Vell is a great place to do all of the above. It's a harbour in a really central location in the...

Sagrada Familia

If you go to Barcelona the place you can not miss is Sagrada Familia, a church different from anyother you have ever seen. The first unique thing about it is that it is not finished yet! Have you ever seen a church with cranes over its towers? Another unconventional...

La Barceloneta

Barcelona is a big city, and it's also a beach city, is there a better combination? This was one of the things I loved about Barcelona. Its seaside climate makes it a sunny and bright city almost the hole year. So you can enjoy the beach at anytime. If you're there,...

La Boqueria

Visiting a city is not only about seeing the important monuments, museus and streets, but also about eating local food. If you're in Barcelona, a great place to do so is at La Boqueria Market. It's located in a very touristic area, next to La Rambla street and Catalunya...

Plaza de Catalunya

This square is worth seeing if you go to Barcelona, although I believe that you'll find it withotu looking, as it's on one of Barcelona's main streets. You can get there from Gracia street, Cataluña boulevard, Pelayo street, to name a few. It's Spain's biggest squares,...

Canaletas Fountain

No matter how much they may like football, everyone knows the celebration venue for Spain's most important teams. I, being Murcian, witnessed the risings of Real Murcia CF, where everyone headed towards La Redonda (Plaza Circular) dressed in burgundy with scarves,...

Gothic quarter

Gothic Quarter is a small area full of Gothic buildings in the city centre. It took me only 15 minutes to walk around this area. And the picture below is the Cathedral of Barcelona. It costs a few euros to get inside (so I didn't enter). And there are a few museums...

Sant Pau Recinte Modernista (Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau)

The design, both exterior and interior, of the Sant Pau Hospital in Barcelona embodies the Catalan Art Nouveau, or Modernista. The design here is not as bold as Gaudi's architectural designs but rather traditional. Anyway, this hospital is the prettiest one amongst all...

Casa Batlló

Casa Batllo is the most amazing tourist attraction in Barcelona and one of the most beautiful houses in Europe, I would say. Even amongst all the buildings designed by Antoni Gaudi, Casa Batllo should be placed in top 3. I visited Casa Batllo on a winter evening. That...

Parc de la Ciutadella

Parc de la Ciutadella is a large park situated at the south-east corner of Barcelona. On the south side of the park is a zoo, whose admission fee is high (higher than most zoos in Europe), but Parc de la Ciutadella itself is free of charge. Actually I don't recommend...

Palau Güell

Palau means palace, but Palau Güell is not a palace - it is the mansion of the wealthy Güell family. This mansion was designed by Antoni Gaudi, so it looks unusual. I've visited many old mansions in Europe, and I think that this one is amongst the most special ones....

Park Güell

I give Park Güell only 3 stars not because it looks boring but because it's just an average attraction amongst all attractions in Barcelona. Actually, this park is better-looking than most of the parks in Europe. But when compared with those of Sagrada Familia, Casa...

Colón

The 'Plaza de Colón' (although it's actually called Plaza Portal de La Pau) can be found in Barcelona, right where La Rambla meets the Paseo de Colón. This square is one of the most famousin Barcelona and one of my favourite places, not only because of the Columbus...

Barcelona

Previously, I said that my last week of travelling included Barcelona, Paris and the south of France. At first I did not plan on going to Spain at all. Firstly we bought the tickets to Portugal and the tickets to Bordeaux and Nantes. After, I was just wondering – so...
