Only in the morning I am realized such an astonishing the view can be when you are on 22nd floor!!!! I even could see La Sagrada Familia far away!!! Super!!! The hotel is a bit far from a city center. But it’s better for me is as near the work place. And it’s really a good one! The breakfast was marvelous and during the day you can use open air swimming pool on the roof or another indoor. Overall the hotel is really a cozy one but not the cheapest one to stay. 🙂
When the work is finished it’s always time to relax and explore new places! Of cause it’s always great when you have a great company. So we start! Let’s go!
We take the metro till the station “Barcelonetta” and in 5 min walk we are in the Parc de la Ciutadella. A green oasis in a big city. 🙂
The are zoo and the Catalan parliament (there is a Museu d’Art Modert inside) in the park area.
You can even take a boat trip in the park. 🙂
Or just rest on the grass or buy a pretty one carpet 🙂 A lot of options :))
The big fountain – Cascada Monumental is really great!
Near the park is one more place to visit and to see is Arco de Triunfo.
Moving further we are near Antic Teatre.
You have this special feeling walking through the small and cozy streets.
We are on the placita de la Seu. Here you can visit Catedral de Barcelona or explore Gaudi exhibition center (link ) or visit Frederic Marès museum (link) or…. a vast variety of different other stuff.
Its a bit hot here)) So we need to refresh and our choice is Chocolat-Box Catedral
There is an font de Santa Anna our way
And if you wanna a bohemic dinner you are welcome here! Super-fantastic atmosphere. Picasso,Isaac Albéniz, Gaudí and all others also visited the 4 Gats 🙂 Here you can make a reservation:) link
We are moving to our next stop. It is Plaça de Catalunya. It’s even more colorful and amazing in a day light!
This peace of art we found occasionally! The big kiss!! “The world begins with every kiss”. Its formally called “kiss of freedom”. In one moment, when you are getting closer you realize that it’s not a graffiti, it is a mosaic made up of thousands of tiny ceramic tiles and each one contains a photo of a person, a place, a moment, an event or something like this. Which in some way represents freedom. Its really interesting! 
One more interesting thing to see is a hotel, but this one is not an ordinary hotel. It’s exterior is decorated with many eyes. 🙂
One more thing to do in Barcelona is to walk along La Rambla street and of cause to take a shot near fountain if you are a football fan. 🙂 This fountain is quite famous place, where football club Barcelona fans come to celebrate the club’s victories and there is a tradition. If you drink from the Canaletas fountain you will be sure to return to Barcelona. 🙂
This one photo – is just a habit – to take a shot of interesting burger houses’ names 🙂
We are hungry and we wanna to try some traditional Spanish food. 🙂 In general there are not so many places as I expected (or may be we are just loosers 😉 ) 🙂 yes, there are a lot of small cafes with snacks and drinks, but if you wanna sit and enjoy a real meal, you need to find it.:) Google, as always, saved us 🙂 Here you are – seafood paella!!! this one we shared for 5 persons 🙂
After the diner we are barely able to move. But we are going further… Its a beautiful city and we just need to go if we wanna to see more:) the Monument of Colom. In honor of Columbus’ and his first voyage to America.
Nearby there is one more fantastic place to rest your eyes or just take some selfies )
That would not be me, if I know there is a huge, bronze cat and I have no photo with it. 🙂
So sorry my friends but we will visit him – the Raval cat. The work of sculptor Fernando Botero. The sculpture was replaces in Barcelona many times, but now you can find him here:) (link below)
Yeahh, its true that there are a lot of tourists here, in Barcelona. I don’t know if they will kill this city, but somebody is against ’em!
Probably all tourists in the evenings come to see and listen to the most dazzling attraction – the world known magic fountain of Montjuic . Here you feel yourself in the wonderful fairy-tail!!! But come closer to it to listen to the music!
More information about show timetable on the official website
It’s really atmospheric near fountain, I spend half an hour juts sitting, drinking my coca-cola, enjoying and looking around.
Tomorrow will be new day and new emotions:)
See you tomorrow 🙂
