Madrid has a special place in my heart and I love visiting Madrid every couple of months. I of course have some favorites there, from food to bars, let's dive in.

I get this question a lot on my instagram so I decided that this topic needed a guide for itself! I had a lot of paellas in Spain (including in Valencia, which is the origin of paellas) and I admit that there are places that cook paella as good as the Valencian ones (at least they come close, let's say). Here are my favourites in Barcelona!

This is the ultimate guide you need if you are coming to Barcelona with your kids. The guide includes the best places to stay as a family, kid-friendly restaurant recommendations, museums which you can visit with your little ones, shops that you may want to visit and other attractive city plans like parks and beaches.

I prepared this list for those who are looking for a budget friendly hotel option in Barcelona. These places are clean, minimal, and just the perfect place to spend the night (or a couple!). If you decide to book one of these hotels and you are happy that I provided this list for you, please use the link I provided to book your hotel as this would give me some commission. Thank you!

I get asked a lot about where to stay in Barcelona and which hotels to choose. So here is the ultimate guide that explains all the neighbourhoods with their pros and cons, including my hotel recommendations for all budgets in each neighbourhood. If you book through the Booking link I added to each hotel, I'll be earning a bit of commission in return, so I'd be super happy if you book it through here. At the end of the list, you will also find my suggestions of where NOT to stay! So, shall we start?

Though Barcelona is not the capital of flamenco (it's from the south of Spain, from Andalucia), if you are visiting Spain and your only stop is Barcelona, you might want to watch flamenco. I totally understand! Barcelona also has good "tablaos", which are the flamenco show venues and here are the good ones. Top tip: don't book the first row cause you'll be wet with their sweat and won't be able to see everything so the mid seats are always better!
