BUS 449 Post 10: Barcelona, Spain.

Even though I have been to Spain, I never went to Barcelona... and I feel like I missed out. Barcelona is a beautiful city with impressive buildings and parks. Architect Antoni Gaudí designed several of the city’s buildings. When visiting, you must pay a visit to the Parc de laCiutadella as well as the Parc de Joan Miró, and the Montjuïc castle. Gaudí’s Church of the Sacred Family is also one of the most famous and most visited landmarks in Barcelona. You could queue in front of the house and go up the towers. Currently, 8 out of 12 about 100 meters tall bell towers are completed.

For breathtaking panoramic views, go to the Eixample in the Sant Andreu district. Grab a sangria at a sidewalk café in Las Ramblas while watching brilliant street performances or listen and enjoy live music at the Razzmatazz,  Apolo, or one of the wonderful concert halls.

And of course I can‘t help, but talk about food in my recommendations. Tapas, pintxos and vermouth are on the top of the list. The Basque tapas are plates of bite-sized goodies, a culinary trend in Barcelona. It is a tradition that the food must be picked at with toothpicks so keep that in mind.  

Do visit Barcelona when you get a chance, because it sure has a lot of offer.
