Barcelona & Sitges: the City & the Sea

Barcelona is an enchanting city that holds a special place in my heart. From its stunning architecture to its vibrant culture, Barcelona offers a unique blend of history, art, and culinary delights. One of my favorite spots is the iconic Sagrada Familia, a masterpiece by Antoni Gaudí that showcases breathtaking architectural brilliance. Another must-visit is Park Güell, where you can immerse yourself in Gaudí's whimsical designs and enjoy panoramic views of the city, but you need to know when to go to avoid the crowds. For a taste of Barcelona's lively atmosphere, a stroll in El Born is a must, with its bustling street performers, cafes, and shops. Don't forget to explore the Gothic Quarter, with its narrow streets and charming plazas. To help you plan your own Barcelona adventure, you can find a map of my favorite places. Enjoy your journey!

If you want to try Catalan food, this is the place to go! Portions are big, so go hungry and plan to walk it off after.
