Barcelona

Have you ever fancied going to Barcelona? My friend insisted this was our next city break but because of COVID we never got there for her 30th birthday. However two years letter we finally got there and I fell in love with this city! The food, the architecture, the people, honestly, I wished I could have stayed for longer.

We stayed 3 nights in the Gothic Quarter and experienced a church service outside the Gothic Cathedral, toured around La Sagrada Familia, 2 hour walking tour with a local, a market and a coastline cruise. I enjoyed everything and learnt so much about the history of this beautiful city. However my favourite part was the walking tour with a local, were taken to several places around Barcelona and told amazing "stories" and facts about the different locations. I didn't know Picasso was supposed to be a womaniser! We were also suggested places to eat and drink what weren't "tourist hot spots".

For food I highly suggest trying Restaurant Galu, an amazing Italian, the duck ravioli was simply the best pasta dish I've ever had. Also restaurant Momo had amazing food, I had the Chicken Adobado Skewers, no words can describe how amazing they were! My friend is vegetarian and loved her dishes too from both restaurants! I would suggest booking for both restaurants as both quite small places and they got very busy.

The metro is really easy to use with only a little help from Google maps and we got a 72 hour metro card for around 27 euros.

Let me know your thoughts on Barcelona because I will be visiting again, soon!
