Barcelona was SO beautiful! With its endlessly long streets filed with lush green trees and grand buildings, you could lose yourself forever. We set of early morning and arrived midday, so a nice easy quick flight and transfer from London. The transfer from the airport was so easy, we hopped on a bus that took us strait the heart of the city. We stayed in a little place in the heart of town nestled between the local spanish shops, bars and the main sandy beach. It was not the place we had booked and far from glamorous but it was a good base for us to go out and explore the city.
We did a hop on hop off open top bus tour in the rain and visited the Sagrada Familia and the Park Guell, both well worth doing but you seem to have to pre book everything so we found our selves thinking what to do until our slot came up!! We ate out every day and I didn't think the city's food was to expensive, I managed to come back with left over euros!! All the food was amazing and we spent hours each day looking for the perfect place to eat. To much choice!!
I think our 3 nights was fab amount of time, we did every thing we wanted plus more. The city was easy to navigate around and us bunch of 4 girls didn't get lost once hehe!! They call Barcelona the walking city, this was SO true!! On our last day we rented bikes and cycled the beach and into the local parks! This was so so fun and I would recommend doing this if you go! You see so much of the city!! It was silly cheep at 1 euro 50 an hour (BARGIN) and the city has lots of bike paths to stick to.
We also had time to have a beach day, swim in the sea, have shopping trips and we visited the amazing food market! That was the highlight for me.. I went back 3 times! The smells, the colours, the sounds and the hustle and bustle of the market felt amazing to be apart of! Anyone and everyone was trying all the foods and snaking away on fresh fish, fruits, sweets and sausages! It was just so amazing and beautiful, a fab place to go for a late breakfast! It was a tad hard to find as its quite hidden away but well worth searching for! Do it if you visit the city!
I took a few photos of the city on my phone that you can see below, sadly my lovely new camera had not arrived in time for my trip so my iphone had to do! It stopped me looking through a lens the hole holiday though so im grateful for that.
Overall Barcelona was a stunning city and such a gem! With its pastry shops on every corner, live music, its amazing architecture and fresh food makes this city well worth visiting!
