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.

Read some great reviews on travel sights and decided that going on a balloon ride seemed like a…read moregreat idea - and it was! It's definitely not a cheap experience but you'll find that with any hot air balloon ride. We were picked up in Barcelona at the right time and place, and taken out to a hotel/cafe about 45+ min away. We had a quick coffee and met up with the other couple that would be up in the air with us. We got back in the van and drove about 5 minutes to the site. Our balloon was there but the guys were worried about the wind so they did a test and we ended up having to change locations to a second area near a small town about 20 or so minutes away. Then the fun of filling up the balloon begins! It's a very interesting experience. The whole time in the balloon is maybe an hour but I suppose that's all you really need. It's very peaceful and serene. I was kind of hoping that we would see something a little bit more interesting. Once we were done, we had some sandwiches and cava and were taken back into the city. It was a very long morning but overall a very enjoyable experience. Our guides were fun and taught us a lot about ballooning and the fun people they've met/experiences they've had. Very important note - if you have a smaller bladder, there is NOWHERE to go after the cafe.

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.

We met up at Port Olimpic with the others taking the tour. After a stop for gas and treats, we made our way to Costa Brava. There we donned wet suits and got changed before heading to our kayaks. Our group had tandems. I was a bit nervous about the snorkeling as I've never done it but he helped ease my fears. We were able to kayak to some beautiful spots, hold a sea urchin and cliff jump. If you don't have a waterproof camera, you won't be able to bring it with you. JB ensures he takes a lot of photos of each participant in all the activities, and then uploads them to Facebook. I really enjoyed my 3-4 hours on the water. It was calm and there wasn't much traffic on the water so no dodging swimmers or other boats. We also learned how to get back on the kayak if it tips over. The snorkling was easy and it was a bit disappointing to not see anything. But that is out of his control. After we make it to shore, he prepares a simple sandwich lunch. It was delicious. The ride home was a sleepy one but overall a great day. I highly recommend this tour for those visiting Barcelona that want to get away from the city. It's fun, good exercise and very memorable. Just bring water shoes so your feet don't get eaten up by the rocks.

I must admit, riding Vespas (scooters) was WAY out of my comfort zone. We rented 2 Vespas-the first day we went we got the 50cc scooters and the second day we got the 125s. My husband and friend's husband drove and we were passengers. I'm kind of a scaredy cat but we wore helmets and I quickly got used to riding. There are so many people in the city on scooters that I felt safe and the other drivers on the streets were very aware of each other. The people that work there were super helpful, went over everything, and even mapped out routes for us. We had a Barri Gotic route, a beach route, olympic village route and a mountain route among others. We so enjoyed riding through the city streets, saw things we wouldn't have seen, and enjoyed the views. Make sure you get an international driver's license, you must have this to ride these. (My husband and friend had done this through AAA for $15-easy process-before we left the States). Highly recommend this company!

From the top level seating, you have a pretty stunning view over the whole arena, and can also look through the tiny windows out into the real world. There is a nice wee museum with various bullfighting artifacts - my favourite exhibit was all the advertising posters. Oh, and the creepy matador uniforms (the mannequins are the wierdest things ever - like something direct from Thunderbirds!). Rumour has it, there's a 2.5billion deal kicking about to turn this into a shopping mall. Jeez! But it'll be interesting to see how they do it.
