travel: barcelona
great shopping, great nightlife, great food and a beach. what else can you ask for?
Eat:
la paradeta
hungry? they cook it for you while you wait, after you have picked it out. multiple locations.
tapas 24
still hungry? i ate here 2x. tapas 24. (bottle of cava, 5 tapas & 2 desserts- 80 euros).
Culture:
casa batello
if you are going to visit a gaudi house, this is the one. the line wasn't too long and it has a really nice view from the roof.
parc guell
this is an amazing park and a great way to spend a sunny day. it's a hike, so wear comfortable shoes.
sagrada familia
visiting the Sagrade Familia is a must. this church is incredible.
Hotel:
the five rooms
stay here. we went with 4 of us and rented the apartment. 1 bedroom and two single beds in the living room with a small patio and full kitchen.
Market:
la boqueria
this is a food lover's paradise. candy for the eyes. i would research the stalls before going to know the best place to eat, etc- but there are a ton of little tapas restaurants to stop at and re-fuel. be careful too, they say there are pick-pockets.
