There is a lot of equipment here (and in Barcelona in general) that we don't have at home, so it was pretty special.

Multiple houses are on the…read moreproperty and the lady thru research said there were originally plans for 3 but only 2 were erected. Photo ops galore out here. 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.

Parc Güell is an attraction you MUST go to when in Barcelona!…read more This park is HUGE. Definitely plan to be here for 2 hrs to walk around & enjoy each part. We ended up going to visit twice this trip, at night. Last year, I went early in the morning. I suggest going either early in the morning or around sunset. During the day, it gets pretty crowded and very hot. This park was originally intended to become a luxury garden city with 60 houses, however, only two houses ended up being completed. Parc Güell is still my favorite works designed by Antoni Gaudi. I recommend buying tickets ahead of time but the tickets are more readily available to purchase than Sagrada Família. I was able to buy tickets for our second visit the night before, without issues. Transportation: I booked a ride via Cabify rideshare and it drops off right by the entrance of Carretera de la Carmel (east side). I highly recommend leaving the park from this side too; easiest to call a cab, as other exits you have to walk down a bit due to car restricted access.

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.

Beautiful park and totally free! The fountain is the highlight -- seriously stunning and perfect…read morefor photos. Skip the row boats -- they look fun but aren't worth the wait or the effort. Super close to Arc de Triomf, so easy to add to your walking route. Great spot to relax and people-watch.

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.

The attractions and rides were all closed for "technical reasons". No signs were posted. No email the morning of to save us from going all that way. We were refused a refund in person and also upon the suggested customer service email address.

Any kind of roses, lots of them, but also of course trees, and other plants. When I visited Parc de Cervantes, it turned out, that it wasn't rose season. OK, if the don't flourish, roses are not that interesting. So I enjoyed the park itself, as a green spot in Barcelona. Close to the university districkt, mostley younger people with kids come here. Nearly no tourists - so a god place to relax.

Arenys De Mar is a nice little town to spend a few days. On the way to town (and back home) we…read morealways passed this smaller port. It is a pretty queit place, even it was summer. Very calm and relaxing atmosphere, especially in the early evening. Nice to take a stroll or for taking a break and watch the world (and boats) go by. Some good restaurants around (try the excellent Paella at the "Tasca Del Port"; good fish and seafood as well). We enjoyed our time here, if you want more action, then there's the summer fair (Feria) on summer nights, fun the whole family, just a few meters further west from the port.

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.
