With famous whimsical Gaudi masterpieces including the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo and Parc Guell, towering temple columns, ancient city walls, subterranean stone corridors, tranquil plazas and soaring cathedrals, the Montjuic hills standing proud over the city and its golden sanded city beach, Barcelona is perfect for a city break. Barcelona has long inspired artists, including Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro, both of whom have major museums devoted to their works in the city. Camp Nou or a FC Barcelona match will delight the football fans in your group.
Standing proud over the city, the magnificent Montjuic hilltop offers endless exploring, botanic and sculpture gardens, excellent museums, fantastic art galleries, an old castle and breathtaking panoramic views. There is usually a queue to take the cable car up but the hilltop is also on the city bus route.
Barcelona offers a huge range of delicious gastronomy. Incredible seafood, cured hams, delicious tapas and fabulous delicacies are all served in the city’s captivating settings. It might be a 1920’s elegant art nouveau dining room, a classic Basque-styled tapas bar, a Galician seafood tavern or waterside, watching the sunset. Las Rambla enjoys a wonderful food market where you can taste delicious food and wines. At night, Las Ramblas comes alive with alfresco dining and many street musicians. Hidden away, there are charming small tapas bars serving local cured Iberico ham, gazpacho soup and la bomba, a potato croquette served with spicy tomato sauce and a healthy portion of aioli. Many bars serve the famous local Estrella as well as delicious sangria and cocktails. Live music is in abundance with jazz spilling out of basements and the rhythms of flamenco enthralling the crowds. If you are still awake at 3am, there is bound to be a nightclub beckoning!
Gaudi’s Casa Batllo is literally around the corner from Casa Gracia. It features some of the most breathtaking detail ever used by Gaudi in his architecture. The styling of the building is truly organic with very few straight lines to be found anywhere. The shapes curve from one feature to the next.
The building of the Sagrada Familia began in 1882 with Gaudi working on it from 1883 until his death in 1926. At that time less than a quarter of it was finished and today it is still not complete even though it has been made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 2010 it was consecrated and made a minor basilica by Pope Benedict XVI.
Barceloneta Beach is a popular spot where visitors can enjoy the dazzling sunshine, paddleboarding, sunset cruises, waterside dining and impressive sand sculptors. The promenade is a delight with many street entertainers and families enjoying the warm evenings. The 4.5km stretch of sandy bays along the shoreline also includes the quieter Nova Icaria and Bogatell Beaches.
