Museo Moco
@Leastraveldiaries
The exhibits were carefully curated, showcasing the works of both local and international artists at the forefront of the contemporary art scene. It was really like stepping into a world where creativity knows no bounds.
They have an incredible array of artwork that pushed the boundaries of traditional art forms. Paintings, sculptures, multimedia installations, and interactive displays all to engage with the art.
What struck me most about Moco was its dedication to thought-provoking themes and social commentary. The artists' expressions challenged conventional ideas and shed light on important societal issues.

Paradiso
@Leastraveldiaries
Voted 1st bar in the Top 50 bars in the world !!
Paradiso is a “hidden” gem of a cocktail bar, cleverly disguised as a humble pastrami sandwich shop. Behind a secret door, you'll find a stunningly designed space with an exquisite bar.
Known for its innovative and theatrical approach to mixology, Paradiso crafts imaginative cocktails that delight the senses. The ambiance is chic and inviting, with a touch of speakeasy charm. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a world of creativity and exceptional libations.
It’s truly a must-visit destination for cocktail enthusiasts looking to discover a one-of-a-kind drinking experience in Barcelona.
EXTRA TIP: Make sure to scan the qr code at their entrance in the late afternoon to ensure you get a space there, their waitlist is only accessible that way and closes really early when they’re busy. Which is every single day lol
Remember to take a picture of it as well in case you feel like going back without having to physically go and scan it again.
