Shopping: SHOPPING......
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: LA BOQUERIA in the RAMBLAS is without a shadow of a doubt the best place to buy fresh food, vegs, meat, fish, cheese, dried fruit, nuts and oh, so much more and everything is high quality!

    One of the best DELICATESSEN (there are many!) is GRAN COLMADO on Consell de Cent 318

    Fondest Memory: For chocolate and ice cream you go to ESCRIBà, the shop with the modernista-façade, RAMBLAS 83.

    Shopping: SHOP TILL YOUR FEET SEEM TO KILL YOU......
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: The FLEA MARKET (on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays) "LOS ENCANTES" takes place on the Plaça de Glòries.

    If you are curious as I am you surely will go there at least once....

    In the CALLE BISBAL (Ciutad Vella) near the Cathedral you will find lots of very nice things: dolls, papier-machée masks, glass and earthenware.

    Beeswax candles, a local speciality, you can buy at SUBIRA CERERIA in BAIXADA LIBERTARIA 7. (founded in 1761!!).

    Fondest Memory: JUST BEING THERE, FEELING FREE AND ENJOY SUN, WARMTH, KIND PEOPLE AND MUCH MORE......and walking the RAMBLAS each morning before breakfast!

    The MNAC: WONDERFUL LANTERNS TO LIGHT THE STREETS..
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: It seems to me that Spaniards always want to give something, even the most practical and necessary things, a special, festive look.

    Here in The Netherlands we don't have such sumptuous lanterns to light the streets....

    I took this photo coming down from the Museu d'Art de Catalunya that stands high on the Montjuic.....

    Fondest Memory: Please, don't forget to visit my TRAVELOGUES, they are there for you to enjoy......

     Hi Eden, Your Barcelona tips are great. I liked your tips about art and artist such as Gaudi, Miro... Great page... greetings from Istanbul.
