Parc Güell
During my first visit to Barcelona, when the entrance to Park Güell was still free (though restricted to a certain number of visitors), I was so fascinated by this place that I just couldn't help compulsively taking photos. I was charmed by this enchanting park. It's...

La Seu Vella
Standing out against the blue sky of Lleida from the hillock surmounting the city, the ancient cathedral (La Seu Vella) has witnessed the several heavy blows which the city has received during its almost millenarian history, bearing itself the marks of some of them....

Rambla Principal
It is undoubtedly the most popular and crowded street in Vilanova i la Geltrù, as well as the setting for most of the significant celebration which take place in the town. Though it is not obviously as fascinating as its homonymous way in Barcelona, it is anyway quite...

Sometimes one may not feel like having a complete lunch based on typical product and local specialties, either beacuse they have not much time or because they just want to go on the cheap. In this cases, there is no better thing than having a good, cheap place to rely...

Another classic place to eat out in Vilanova i la Geltrù, Tastests is particularly appreciated for its small tastes of delicious recipes, called indeed "tastets", and for the mouth-watering desserts. Anyway, also the main courses are obviously of first quality. Located...

La Diligencia
As I have already written in a previous entry, it is not so uncommon to find really good restaurants hidden in the small villages located along the coast surrounding Vilanova i la Geltrù. One of those places is doubtlessly La Diligencia, located in Cunit, a seaside...

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
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
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
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
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
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...

El Giraldillo
One of the best restaurants in Vilanova i la Geltrù, it boasts a very good reputation, earned during a few decades of top quality food service, which make it really popular among the Vilanovins. And after trying its delicious dishes in more than one occasion, I shall...

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
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
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
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
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...

La Rambla
It is probably the most famous avenue in Europe, if not in the world. It is one of the most popular places among the tourists, one of those places which seems to create an aura of magic and charm only by mentioning its name. And yet, I firmly believe that most people do...
