50 FREE Things to do in Barcelona

I strongly believe that the best way to get in touch with the culture and traditions of a country is to visit different cities that identify it. As far as Spain is concerned, this concept is even stronger because Catalonia and Andalusia are similar in some ways but different in others and crossing different cities to get to know the different facets is the best thing and the one I recommend. This trip turned out to be wonderful and I hope it will be helpful to those who want to plan a tour similar to the one I did. Spain is a land that transmits positivity. The weather is almost always good and sunny, the people very sociable and helpful, the food very good and the culture very strong and identifying.

Plaça Reial

This square is a perfect spot to unwind, especially with the many restaurants and bars lining the edges. If you're feeling tired after a day of sightseeing, I’d recommend pausing here to take in the scenery and grab a drink—you're in for some excellent tapas, cava, and local beer later! It's also close to several attractions like the Gothic Quarter and La Boqueria Market, so you can take a breather before continuing to explore.

Super lively place to hang out and have a drink and watch the world go by. 

Pretty square off of La Rambla that makes a great spot for a short rest.
