"BARCELONA" Barcelona by ViajesdelMundo

Barcelona Travel Guide: 9,434 reviews and 21,455 photos

We enjoyed Barcelona very much, but as we were travelling with our friends from Heidelberg and staying about 50 miles outside of the city, we didn't get to spend as much time here as we had originally thought we would.

We came in and stayed overnight to wander around a bit on our own and really enjoyed the park above the city, climbing up the hill to get there!

Gorgeous fountain Trish and the food market looks like it would be fun to explore.

Wonderful pictures of La Sacrada Familia. The structure is so massive it's difficult to take it all in.

Gaudi's work is certainly unique, nice page!

Nice page on Barcelona. Gaudi was no doubt a genius- but his work does not appeal to me, I suppose its a matter of personal taste. Nice photos too.

Excellent practical tips. Especially appreciate the tips on [not] going into the Sagrada Temple and the food bar in the La Boqueria food market. Thanks. Have copied and pasted them all for my trip.
