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.

Beautiful park, lots of mini pocket areas for different activities. Kids play area, statues, boats,…read moreartwork. Watch out for the pigeons!

Parc Guell is a must visit if you're in Barcelona. You could easily spend hours here and I think I…read moreprobably caught only about 65% of what there is to see. I'd love another opportunity to come back, spend more time, and really take it all in. Between the Gaudi architecture, incredible mosaic work, panoramic views of Barcelona, live music, and all the green space, there's just so much to explore. Every turn seems to offer something different, whether it's another architectural detail or another beautiful viewpoint. I really enjoyed my time here. One thing to keep in mind is that certain areas aren't fully accessible if you're using a wheelchair or stroller so plan accordingly. Definitely one of the highlights of our Barcelona trip.

I could only imagine what it was like all those years ago in time. Waking up, eating breakfast, doing your morning walk before you start your day. Then again at night before sundown and bed. Some breathtaking views. Must visit! We did it two times because the first time we rushed before closing time and like a knucklehead i accidently deleted all of our photos.

Tibidabo is the highest peak in Barcelona, Spain! It's a touristy spot that gives you a 360° view…read moreover the Mediterranean Sea, the city of Barcelona, and the surrounding suburbs. Even though I've visited the Barcelona area about a dozen times, this was my first time at Tibidabo, and I was glad to share this experience with my husband and my brother's family. If you're planning a trip to Barcelona, this is a definite spot to visit at least once in your lifetime. It was well worth my 15 year wait! The top of Tibidabo is crowned by the Cathedral del Sagrat Cor. This church was constructed between 1902 and 1960 in a mixture of modernista and neogothic styles. It's also home to the Tibidabo Amusement Park built in 1889. You might recognize views of Tibidabo in international films like Vicky Christina Barcelona.

I have taken many trips here running the streets and trails as well as enjoying the many gardens. Run to the top to see the castle and cannons or take the gondola. You can get there by walking...

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.

Somorrostro beach is currently one of the most emblematic beaches in the city, and the beach became one of the most popular in the city. I felt comfortable in this place. When I came to this beach, the season was in Winter, but I felt a gentle warmth. Maybe it may be different from Japanese beach in winter. Though it was warmer, nobody was swimming in the Mediterranean. During the 19th century and part of the 20th century, the beach, and much of the neighboring beach areas was occupied by a shanty town, inhabited by 15,000 people living in 2,000 slums. Carmen Amaya, the most famous flamenco dancer of all time, was born here. Nowadays, it is located under the Somorrostro arcade in front of the Hospital Del Mar, the Beach Centre is an environmental education facility dedicated to promoting the city seafront. This centre organises all kinds of storytelling, visits, talks and games.

It has everything that you can wish for in a beach. The beach is actually located along a long expanse of shoreline with a boardwalk/promenade.

Definitely worth a look while you are in Barcelona.
