BARCELONA

A mini guide of some of my favorite things to see, do and eat in sunny Barcelona.

A Vocados con Gràcia, Boulangerie Mayer, La Caravana, Mr. Kakigori, Xurreria Trebol, breakfast cinnamon bun from Flor de Gràcia & coffee from OZ bakery & Baluard bakery (all in Gràcia area)

Pottery classes I wanted to join in at Atelier Moli

Novela Coffee or Three Marks Coffee

El Nacional Tapas Bar

Rooftop drinks at Ciutat Vella 🍸 or ice cream nearby from Gianduia (you know I’m always on the lookout for a good ice cream)

Walking around Parc Güell & snacking on fresh strawberries with a little (potentially not allowed) picnic on the benches

Strolling around Eixample & the Gràcia neighborhood (maybe my fav!)

Buying the best olives & strawberries of my life at the Mercat de la Concepció

Truly truly in love with all the architecture and beautiful facades, could walk around all day just looking up and admiring them (& dreaming of future apartments some day 👀)

The stunning Palace of Catalan Music (Palau de la Música Catalana) with super cute streets (& bookstores) to explore around

Lots of good thrifting at HUMANA stores (especially when they have “happy hours” where everything is 25% off) especially in the Santa Caterina area

For vintage shopping:

- Vintage AE5

- Any Humana (there are so many good ones!!)

- Mahalo Vintage

- El Indio Vintage

- Zoetrope Vintage

churros, churros, churros from Xurreria Trebol

birthday dinner at La Pepita! So yum! Order the patatas bravas!

DeLaCrem for ice cream, check out the different flavors available on their board 🍨 long line at night!

I think I could never get sick of this city! Can’t wait to go back in 2026 when the Sagrada Familia is complete! Gaudí was truly a genius and this trip reminded me of his insane architectural talent and vision! 🍇🍒🍊🍋🍐🫐
