Barcelona is known for its modernist architecture, and you can find many impressive buildings all over the city. For this reason, it is essential that on your visit to Barcelona, you make a mandatory stop at Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, designed by Gaudí. But besides these two, there are also many other interesting buildings, such as the Palau de la Música Catalana and the Hospital de Sant Pau.

Walking for hours and hours through the streets of Barcelona is one of the things I enjoy the most. For this reason, we will take a tour of Las Ramblas, which is an avenue that runs through the center of Barcelona, full of stores, cafes, and street artists. It is a perfect place to take a stroll and enjoy the city life. Don’t miss the mercado de la Boquería where you can find fresh and delicious food.

For this reason, the Museo Picasso is one of the most important museums in Barcelona, with an impressive collection of more than 4,000 works of the famous Spanish artist. The museum is located in the El Born neighborhood and is a perfect place to spend an afternoon enjoying art.

Relax on the beach.

Barcelona has several stunning beaches, from the famous Barceloneta to the quieter beaches of the Diagonal Mar area. There is nothing better than enjoying a nice walk along the coast or having a day at the beach, enjoying the sun and the sea.
