What an incredible day at the Colonia Güell! I came with my family, and we were all impressed by Gaudí's creativity. The children loved the crypt, and we took so many photos. The church is also a must-see. It's a great place for a family day out.
We don't talk enough about this palace, which is really very beautiful... Unfortunately, the façade was being restored at the time of our visit but the interior is simply magical. The price is a bit high, but like many monuments and museums in Barcelona, it's worth it.
No more bullfights for years... sad... I think José Tomas was the last to fight here for a memorable bullfight... This place has the merit of still existing for shows.It's an impressive building that could hold up to 24,000 people.
Rather well preserved, admission costs €6.
Monasteri Sant Pau del Camp is an oasis of peace in Barcelona, a marvellous little cloister (look for the frog at the foot of one of the original pillars). You are transported back in time in this little monastery of El Raval which once stood in the fields outside the walls of Barcelona, hence its name ... one of the wonders of Barcelona.
Covered market. Very pleasant with the smell of flowers at the entrance. There are tables and chairs in the aisles so you can eat there. Coffee and potato tortillas available.
I came across the most incredible store i have seen in a long time and I have been living im Barcelona for over 20 years. It’s called Pachulí Interior & Lifestyle and is situated in El Born. It’s a bit hidden which is a shame cause I think everyone should experience this authenticity and unique place. Just go and check it out already!!

Ate here on the 24.02.06 What a fantastic meal! We had the meal of the day Green Beans with Ham simply delicous and then both had steak (not being able to face another fish) cooked to perfection melted in the mouth. The apple pie was a triumph. Made very welcome, good but not pushy service. Was initially put off by the fact it had menu's outside in four languages and thought it may have been a tourist trap. Couldn't have been more wrong the place was packed with locals. Recommended.
