The Saturday City: Barcelona
Barcelona is one of my favorite cities in Spain, second only to Granada. Barcelona has a lively atmosphere, good food, a long history, amazing museums, decent beaches and incredible nightlife. It's busy, it's full of energy, it "feels" very Spanish. The city begins hardly before noon. People do not eat dinner until 10 and not go to 02:00, which is clearly why they spend sleeping most of their day. It is not a city for early risers, which is great, because I'm not.
I left Barcelona for the first time with plenty to do and it was my intention to do during this visit everything I missed. I was hoping in my favorite hostel, Kabul, is located on La Rambla, but to remain as usual, it was fully booked. Instead HelloBCN was my home. It's an O. K. hostel with a decent bar, comfortable beds, free wi-fi and a large common area. With me were a few people from my time in Valencia, and together, we took Barcelona by storm. Barcelona has a lot to offer and no visitor should miss:
La Sagrada Familia - I was impressed the second time around, but I'm still not a huge Gaudi fan. Antoni Gaudi is Barcelona's most famous architects and you will see his work in the city. This church is his most famous work, which is about 100 years after not done. They say that by 2020, it has all these siestas the Spanish take his
Barcelona History Museum -. Barcelona has one of the best local history museums I've also never been. It makes a big, big task that history and to explain the importance of this city. In addition, there are 4,000 square meters of Roman ruins removed in the museum that you can walk through. There is a possibility, detailed audio guide and detailed explanations of what you see. You make a big and work. This is a must
Picasso Museum -. Picasso was a great artist. While I am not a big fan of most of his later work, it is still interesting to learn about the life and work of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. With more than 3,000 works of art, there is much to see here
La Rambla -. This famous street in Barcelona, where the tourists go. They are overpriced shops, restaurants, and the camera toting tourists everywhere on this long road. But despite this, there is a great energy around the street. It's a great place to people watch, it is centrally located, and it is filled with the best street artists in Europe. The search for the man, he is doing on the toilet so
Bari Gotic -. This is the name given to the historic center of Barcelona, with its windy streets and historic buildings. Spend a few hours getting through this area lost stumble on old buildings, churches and squares. The deeper one is in this area, the more local and interesting it becomes
Historic Cathedral -. Located in the heart of Bari Gotic This Gothic cathedral was built on top of a 11th century church. It's going a cool monastery to in. The real highlight of this church is the roof. You can connect up to the top of an elevator, where you get a breathtaking view of the surrounding area
Gaudi Fountain -. Gaudi did yourself with this large fountain in the Ciutadella Parc is. It is a great tribute to the god Neptune. There are huge griffins spouting water, Neptune on his chariot, and a golden statue on top. With benches and an ice restaurant nearby, it is a good place to relax.
Search Barcelona to do on the cheap? Well, for starters, all municipal museums are free in the afternoon. This is very much because the museums here are top notch. to buy 10 trip metro card you get save 5 euros. In addition, head down to the beaches during the day for fish and seafood. The restaurants in this area are very expensive, but during the day, you can have a good record for 8-10 euros.
Barcelona has so much to offer that even barely scratched my combined six days on the surface. I love the city and lost in Bari Gotic and the people to observe the places makes me happy. I'm sure to be there again. Hopefully, next time it will be longer than three days.
