Add this to your Barcelona must see list. It was right beside the zoo and very close to the Arc of…read moreTriumph Arch. We actually happened upon it on accident as we were walking around and then we came back our last day. Beautiful Park lots of things to see. The fountain is amazing just gorgeous huge fountain lots of birds there. Great place for pictures right beside the fountain or up the stairs to the fountain. Lots of musicians and street performers around the park. I really am a bird fanatic so I was thrilled to see so many wild parakeets in the park. There are people feeding the parakeets bird seeds and you put some in your hand and they'll land in your hand and eat there. I loved it. There are some homeless people and one of them kind of threw a insane fit while we were there but no one was hurt he kicked over a barrier and was yelling at people. But that can happen anywhere just use caution anywhere you go. There is neat statues and there's also a little lake or pond where they had people renting rowboats we didn't do that but that looked like fun.

Very cool park with lots of things to see and do. If you're ever in the area, you've got to take a…read morequick stroll through!

Antonio Gaudi's unique architecture was literally what put Spain on my bucket list so naturally…read moreseeing as much as we could of it was a huge priority. We did a Spain Portugal tour from Go Ahead and added couple days on both ends. Plus did the add of Guardi excursion that took us to more of his works. The guides told us alot of historical details and gave us a bit of time to look about but I would have rather had less history and more time to take it all it. so much detail. guide said this was the largest outdoor bench and it's very crowded so if you are waiting for no people in your pictures it's not going to happen. I suggest trying ai to delete the people if they are an issue for you. ChatGPT gives you some free but have to take 1 person at a time which would be unfortunate with this crowd so upgrade at least temporarily to the plus for I think 20 a month. My samsung phone provides free ai but like the other program it's pretty much 1 person at a time. Barcelona was a crowded city so if your like me and sometimes really want no strangers in your pictures try ai ... it doesn't always work immediately but usually does a great job. welcome to the new way to edit your pics. I didn't bring my real camera on this trip ... just my samsung phone which has pretty decent camera. The worlds a big place with alot I'd like to see but glad we made it here it's been on the bucket list for for over 30 yrs. I def heard the load parakeets here but wasn't the best place to see them as they were up in trees.

This is a lovely park and in my opinion, a must experience in Barcelona…read more We took our two kids and they had a great time. I wish I would've bought my tickets a little earlier so that we could've gone in the morning but I'm happy we got in anyway we took our baby in her front pack, which worked pretty well but at the same time I missed my stroller, but I feel like if I would've had the stroller there would've been a lot of carrying the stroller up and down things so I'm not really sure what you do there to win. Food options were very limited inside the park, which surprised me there were some vending machines and that was kind of it so we were pretty hungry. I would pack a picnic and do it that way where I had to do it again and I would also pack the picnic before getting off at either of the two close train stations where we got off there was like nothing towards getting food and then we went on the other way when we left, and that was all just really touristy, not great looking options

Parc de la Devesa was a nice park to stroll through during our visit to Girona…read more The park is home to 2,500 Platanus × hispanica trees which were planted mostly around the year 1850. Unfortunately we visited in early March when the leaves had not yet grown back, so the trees and thus the park looked a bit bare. The park is arrayed mostly in a grid-like fashion without many distinctive features. We did find a peacock coop with 4 peacocks in it which was pretty cool. From pictures, the park looks like a lush forest during the time of year that the trees have leaves on them, so that would be an ideal time to visit.

Parc de Montjuic is a public park that overlooks the city of Barcelona and the Mediterranean Sea…read more It was an example of town planning and architecture for the 1929 International Exhibition. Today it contains museums, the Olympic Ring from the 1992 Olympic Games, a castle, gardens, a fountain, cable car, and more. A tour guide drove my husband and me to this park. We enjoyed the panoramic views of the city buildings and the sea. Our tour guide explained that a Jewish cemetery was built into the hill. Overall, I would not call Parc de Montjuic a must-see, but it was nice to see.

Walking around the old city area of Girona was one of the highlights of our Barcelona trip, and…read morewalking on the old city walls was the pinnacle of that experience, both literally and figuratively! The wife and I visited Girona during the off-peak season, and it was nice to be able to stroll around the picturesque old city without running into too many people. Most tourists were hanging out around the shop/restaurant part of the city and around places like Girona Cathedral. Passeig de la Muralla, the old walls, is rated on TripAdvisor as the #1 thing to do in Girona, yet it saw only a fraction of the foot traffic. Which was great for us! Girona's walls were originally constructed by the Romans, with foundations dating to possibly the 1st century BC. Much of the present-day walls were constructed between the 9th to 17th centuries. The walls offered protection from the outside and a sweeping view of the city inside. Parapets interspersed along the walls, accessible via circular stairs, offer even better views still. The walls look out loftily towards old landmarks nearby and the modern city and large park (Parc de la Devesa) behind. The walkaway on top is fairly narrow, so two people have to squeeze past each other. There are several access points to get up onto the walls, but they do require being able to walk up some stairs. The unsupervised, simple and beautiful experience is what makes a visit to Passeig de la Muralla so wonderful. Definitely worth a visit, but shh, don't tell anyone else.
