Barcelona is heaven of beautiful food, architecture, history and scenery. Few years back I visited this city under a different shade of youth, one that I remember for it’s party life and beaches. This time I’ve explored the city more romantically with the one I love; a touch of softness as we’ve roamed around the streets and learned bit by bit of how it all came about.
With extensive research ( I just learnt that my husband is an excellent researcher ) we’ve been able to find great places to eat, stay and visit. Here’s our top picks:
Things To Do:
-
Hotel recommended to stay at is El Palace, Barcelona 1991 – the lobby is enough to make you enjoy your trip.
-
Visit the Sagrada Familia, wow wow wow, spectacular.
-
Visit the Magic Fountain of Montjuic but make sure you research in advance when the light show is on.
-
Art lovers, the Museum Nacional D’Art De Catalunya is a MUST see!
-
Keep your eyes open for Guadi’s work around the city.
-
Walk around the La Rambla, a standard tourist attraction.

Spain is known for it’s Churros, here’s the favourites we came across:
-
Granja Dulcinea Xocolateria, good chocolate but average Churros.
-
Granja M. Viader, Churros and Creme Catalana, excellent, our TOP pick.
-
Churreria J.Balcells, casual but really good chocolate
We tried few Paellas but are yet to find a really good spot, putting our money on Madrid. It was a memorable time, a great city and that’s a wrap from Barc and onto the next ..
