a few days in barcelona
Hi everyone,
On this edition of "Do you want to?", we are taking you to Barcelona, a beaming, sunny, and historically dense city!
Vamonos!
Do you want to...
Grab coffee + healthy food?
Head over to Raw Studio for the best bocadillo (a Spanish classic). The coffee shop is small but very cute and homey!
We loved the aesthetics and the friendly staff!
Carrer de l'Avenir, 66, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, 08021 Barcelona
Dine the Spanish way?
El Nacional, located on Passeig de Gràcia, one of the city's most vibrant streets, serves typical Spanish cuisine. It has different areas inside, our favourite being "La Taperia", which serves the best paella and tapas dishes.
Pg. de Gràcia, 24 Bis, L'Eixample, 08007 Barcelona
Take a long walk?
You have to visit El Parc de la Ciutadella when in Barcelona! You can rent boats on the canal, enjoy a gorgeous fountain view, and wander through the garden. The Arc de Triomf and the city's zoo are also on the park's premises, so you can hit a few birds with one stone! We loved the family-friendly vibe, especially on a summer night—make sure to bring your apéro!
Passeig de Picasso, 21, Cuitat Vella, 08003 Barcelona
Wander in enchanting streets?
El Born is Barcelona's en-vogue neighbourhood. Its narrow streets are full of history and offer shops, cocktail bars, and a truly lively ambience. Walk to la Basílica Santa Maria Del Mar for a historical visit.
Have your mind blown away?
Buy tickets for La Sagrada Familia—you will not be disappointed! Gaudí's masterpiece has been under construction since 1882 and is still not over. The Art Nouveau church has many details and a rich history. Book your ticket in advance, as it is sold out weeks before!
Carrer Mallorca, 401, 08013 Barcelona
Relax?
At Aire Barcelona, you will experience mind and body relaxation like you never did! This renovated warehouse from the 18th century has been turned into ancient baths, to our greatest delight! Depending on your experience, you'll get over an hour of relaxation provided by hot and cold therapy, as well as a jacuzzi, a steam room, and a sauna. You can add an array of additional services, such as massages and body treatments.
Passeig de Picasso, 22, Cuitat Vella, 08003 Barcelona
