General Tips
Consider getting a TMB public transport pass (includes bus and subway)
Day 1
Morning
Park Güell
@annechua
Definitely worth a trip, was a large park with lots of picturesque locations. Does get very crowded, especially during sunset, so be sure to book in advance as well.

Lunch
Sagradas Tapas
@annechua
This place was highly rated on Google, but this turned out to be quite a disappointment. However, is in a fantastic location next to the La Sagrada Familia.

Evening Drinks
Dr Stravinsky
@annechua
Dr. Stravinsky was once part of the World's best 50 bars - definitely worth a visit and as it gets busy, would recommend going before dinner.
