Barcelona is famous for its amazing architecture produced by Gaudí and takes pride in its beautiful buildings and landscapes. With plenty of culture, history, cuisine and gastronomy, no wonder it’s one of the top visited cities within Europe. As well as all this it’s known for being a backpackers favorite destination, and when it comes to finding budget lodging, cheap accommodation in Barcelona is easy to find and easily accessible to the city center.
Catalonia has something tremendous to offer: Barcelona. Within the second largest city in Spain there are plenty of things to do:
La Sagrada Familia
Everyone’s heard of Gaudi’s famous Sagrada Familia. It’s a beautiful building located in the centre of Barcelona and it is a must-see attraction in the city.
Tapas
If you’re going to Spain, you can’t leave without having some tapas. Having been there myself I would definitely recommend a restaurant called ‘La Alcoba Azul’ in Barcelona, as it has a great range of dishes on the menu and is very reasonably priced.
La Rambla
If you fancy a spot of shopping, La Rambla is the place to go! Have a stroll down the La Rambla and stop off at a little café for a coffee and a cake.
Flamenco show
Get the true Spanish experience with a flamenco show. One of the best places for this is ‘El tablao de Carmen’ where can have the full flamenco effect.
Arenas
If you fancy some shopping while you’re in Barcelona, check out the Centro Comercial Arenas, not only for shops but for some great restaurants too. Some are located on the roof so you can a great view of Barcelona while you enjoy your delicious meal.
Magic Fountains
The magic fountains are truly spectacular; if a beautifully lit water show is your thing then this is for you!
Barcelona has so many great things to see and do; one weekend may not be enough! You may find yourself wanting to go back.
