Barcelona is probably best known for its football. For most people, this is indeed the reason. But Barcelona is an ancient historical city and a site with a strong European literary atmosphere. It has preserved a large amount of excellent traditional culture and architecture, making it an ideal tourist destination.

It rained for more than a month in the British winter, so I decided to take my good friends to Barcelona to experience the sunshine. I booked a flight from Manchester City at 6am, but something went wrong. Since our new French visa was not the first time entering France, we temporarily changed our tickets to Paris before going to Barcelona. It should be noted that our new French visa is to enter France first and then go to surrounding European cities.

These three are must-visit attractions, and tickets can be booked online. When you arrive, open your email and show the QR code. You can find a translator at the door, in both Chinese and English.

Except for the Sagrada Familia, the headphones are all head-mounted, which is very convenient, but taking them off for photos is a bit troublesome. These three attractions are all works by Gaudí, which are particularly visually stunning. The ingenious design of the buildings will amaze you.

Barcelona is really a paradise for architecture lovers. Here, a Catalan museum is particularly recommended. The waterfall curtain on the exterior is particularly spectacular, and the interior is also beautiful. If you only visit the attractions for three days, that's enough. Because Barcelona is close to the sea, you can spend your summer vacation by the sea.

Hotel Accommodation

This time I stayed at the Baquis Hotel. Search for hotel bookings. The hotel is a very retro little dark style and the location is very good. It's very convenient to live on the street in the downtown area, and it's also very close to the attractions. The hotel is very clean. There is a church opposite the balcony of our room, which is very local. Balconies in Spain are very small, so be careful when taking photos while standing. The hotel service is also very good. When I came back the next day, I found my pajamas neatly folded. Every time you come back to the front desk, we'll say hello and welcome you back. The weather is very warm. Hotel

Food Recommendations

Two restaurants recommended

The first one is Colom Restaurant, which compares several Spanish seafood risotto. This one is the best. Two people can also order a seafood platter, which is large, fresh and delicious.

The second one is Vinitus. The ingredients are very rich and fresh. Especially recommend the foie gras and beef. The environment of this restaurant is very good, the food is also very beautiful, it gives people a warm and romantic feeling, and it is very suitable for taking pictures.
