2024 Barcelona Province Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)

Strolling Along Rambla de Mar in Barcelona at Sunset

Rambla de Mar, an extension of La Rambla, stretches across the old fishing port of Barcelona. The wavy wooden walkway passes by the Columbus Monument and connects to the Maremagnum shopping center and the Barcelona Aquarium. Visiting in the late afternoon as the sun begins to set, the bright light allows you to enjoy views of sailboats and various maritime activities. Seagulls rest along the way, and the coastal art installations make for great photo opportunities, making the walk very pleasant. At dusk, the sunset reflects on the old port's waters, creating a picture-perfect scene. It's a popular spot for locals to stroll and relax.

Mountain village in the Pyrenees

La Pobla de Lillet, 2 hours drive north from Barcelona, is a small mountain village nestled in between valleys and crossed by the Llobregat river. 🏔️ It boasts excellent local cuisine and typical mountain architectural features: like cobblestone covered streets, tilted black roofs and stone walls. 🌲 Amazingly, through the tourist office you can get the key to climb up the bell tower of the church, quite a unique experience that will allow you enjoy the views of the village from the top. 🔔 La Pobla de Lillet is a great chance for a tranquil getaway not too far from Barcelona, and extra tip: it holds a secret garden that was designed by Catalan master architect Antoni Gaudí, more about this in another post, be sure yo check it out 😊 #localescapes

See and Taste Around Barcelona

Barcelona has it all, so it is no wonder it is one of the top destinations in Europe. Strolling along the streets, you can find jaw-dropping architectural wonders by Gaudi, ruins and vestiges of the ancient Roman Empire, historical museums, mouth-watering tapas, and markets to suit your needs. I signed up for historical walking tours and a foodie tour to learn and eat my way around Barcelona and met other travelers who gave great recommendations and reviews of places they visited around the city. With so much to offer, Barcelona cannot disappoint! #solotravel #spain #barcelona #unesco #museums

Park Güell 🇪🇸

Park Güell is one of the famous attractions in Barcelona. I will say this is the most beautiful park in Barcelona and you must add this place In your travel list. This building is built by Antoni Gaudí and the architecture is absolutely amazing. As you see from the picture, the park is spectacular with different shapes of rocks and the way they built together is just fantastic. Therefore, I am highly recommend this place for you to come and have a look in this spectacular park! #park #barcelona #spain #parkguell #gaudi

Barcelona …. don’t forget to look up! 😱

Bold, brash, colourful, distinctive, harmonious, varied and unique are just a few adjectives that come to mind when describing Barcelona architecture. Barcelona has successfully blended the old and the new in a way that makes this city simply breathtakingly beautiful. There is nothing more enjoyable than strolling around the streets of Barcelona and taking in the atmosphere that radiates out from the architecture. Traditional Catalan Gothic architecture such as the Iglesia de Pi church is reserved and stoic in its design, but just a 5 minute walk away we have the Barcelona Cathedral with its beautiful arches and facade.

Spooky Barcelona!! 👻🎃

There’s nothing like a spooky Barcelona!! Barcelona, the cosmopolitan capital of Spain’s Catalonia region, is known for its art and architecture. The fantastical Sagrada Família church and other modernist landmarks designed by Antoni Gaudí dot the city. Museu Picasso and Fundació Joan Miró feature modern art by their namesakes. City history museum MUHBA, includes several Roman archaeological sites. Barcelona is a city with a wide range of original leisure options that encourage you to visit time and time again. Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. #spooktaculartrip #fallingforfall #staycation

BARCELONA’S OLD CITY: DISCOVER THE GOTHIC QUA

Barcelona’s Old City is steeped in history and soaked in charm. Wandering its streets and alleys is a delightful thing to do in Barcelona, but there’s more to the Old City than just the Gothic Quarter. Read on for a guide to the Barcelona Old City neighbourhoods (or barrios), including the Gothic Quarter, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera, El Born, El Raval and La Barceloneta. The Old City, or Ciutat Vella, is the oldest part of Barcelona, its historic heart. There has been a settlement here since Roman times when it was known as Barcino. Once hemmed in by medieval walls, which were taken down in the 19th century, Barcelona’s old city remains a dense network of streets, alleys and historic buildings. But it’s not just for pretty walks and sightseeing: Barcelona’s Old City remains a vibrant, humming community, full of life. And it’s not all the same – the historic neighbourhoods (barris in Catalan and barrios in Spanish) each have their own distinct personality and appeal.

It’s no doubt that Barcelona is one of the mo

It’s no doubt that Barcelona is one of the most photogenic cities on the planet—especially at sunset. As evening falls over the city, Barcelona takes on a special kind of magic that you have to experience for yourself. Of course, since Barcelona lies on Spain’s eastern coast, you won’t be able to catch a true coastal sunset—you’ll have to go to Galicia or Spain’s islands for that. However, the beautiful twilight that settles over Barcelona is still incredible. Of all the travel experiences waiting out there in the big wide world, ‘sipping cocktails on a rooftop bar in Barcelona as the sun sets in the distance’ has to be right up near the top. The very thought of it is enough to draw wistful sighs and excessive daydreaming. Europe doesn’t get much more romantic than this. Barcelona is packed with amazing things to do and fantastic restaurants, and a sunset drink on a rooftop bar is the perfect end to a perfect day.

The town of Tosa in Barcelona is the filming location of "The Legend of the Blue Sea". It's very beautiful. Many people are sunbathing on the beach and swimming in the shallow waters. They are so free and relaxed, truly enjoying life. Highly recommended. If you come here, you can stay here and enjoy a slow life for a few days. This is the most revealing photo I've ever taken.

From Barcelona to the filming location of the legend of the blue sea, Tossa de Mar, which is also the shooting location of the legend of the blue sea✨! I didn't hold much hope before I went, because everyone was saying that the dog hole is very small and the off-season is very boring, but I arranged 4.5 days in Barcelona, and I was idle so I went~ 🥹As soon as I got off the car, I felt healed!! The blue that is hard to describe with the naked eye, the beautiful sea shimmering in the sun, is a different kind of beauty from the bustling Barcelona. . 🚗Ticket: Departure: Barcelona Estacio Nord Destination: Tossa de Mar 🕙One way 1 hour 20 minutes.

And many beautiful girls are chatting with each other while queuing, and if you need a group photo when shooting, you can ask others to help take a picture, the people behind will patiently help you with the composition, there is no rush to shoot, the atmosphere is so good, there is a kind of girls help girls The beautiful feeling, why not count as part of this beautiful town! It's not long to queue for 10min in the off-season. ✨Stone gate📍Torre d’en Joanas I went in the afternoon and took a silhouette against the light, in the morning you should be able to take a gentle portrait. ✨Viewing platform📍Remnants of Gothic Church This place is suitable for check-in portraits, the view is also very good! ✨Seaside📍Far de Cap de Tossa. Tossa De Mar Who doesn't want to take a photo with the blue sea, immerse yourself in the legend of the sea color of the blue sea. . 👗: The seaside is so suitable for long skirts, sisters!

Then I went to walk in a coffee shop

Barcelona's Magnificent Plaça de España

My time at Plaça de España in Barcelona was an experience. The first thing that struck me was the grandeur of the surroundings. The imposing Venetian Towers framing the entrance and the majestic Palau Nacional in the background created a stunning backdrop. The centerpiece, the Magic Fountain, was a mesmerizing spectacle. As evening fell, the fountain came alive with a symphony of lights and water, creating a magical ambiance. The expansive square itself was a hub of activity. From street performers to locals and tourists alike, there was a lively energy that added to the charm. The surrounding buildings, with their intricate details, invited exploration. #christmastrip

#freehotelstay Nice place, we went for a Sunday relaxation. The beds are 40 euros per person and the big beds were 120 euros. It’s better to book a table for lunch in advance otherwise there’s a long waiting time to get a table. There’s parking on the premises for 10 euros per day too but there’s parking on the street if you’re lucky. You can swim in sea or at the pool. Overall nice place, I wish the beds came with a drink or snacks for the price they offer but they do provide the towels so maybe that makes up for it. To add the place is very family friendly
