A Season Abroad Travel Tips in Barcelona
Barceloneta Beach: This iconic city beach is a must-visit for people looking for a combination of seaside and city vibes. Street performers, beachside vendors, and the scent of freshly grilled seafood fill the air, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. We recommend La Cova Fumada for an authentic tapas restaurant in the Barceloneta area.
Parc Guell: Parc Güell is the famous park perched in the hills above the city. It offers the perfect blend of art and nature, showcasing Gaudí’s whimsical architecture, colorful mosaics, and breathtaking city views. This UNESCO site offers a magical escape into creativity and tranquility. We recommend that you visit early to avoid crowds and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
Tapas Culture: There’s no way to visit Barcelona and not get deep into Tapas culture. Enjoying these tasty, typically bite sized morsels of flavor are a regular part of life for locals. Beyond sampling delicious croquetas, tortilla de patata, grilled octopus, and countless other delights, eating tapas is about socializing with friends and enjoying the energetic ambiance of a lively bar or a pleasant streetside cafe. We recommend visiting Carrer de Blai to have your pick of numerous excellent tapas spots all in a row.
