Day 2
Day 1 was a perfect introduction to Barcelona, Spain, so I couldn’t wait to explore the city more today.
PARK GUELL
Day 2 started off was a trip PARK GUELL. If you’re looking for a place to truly see the masterpieces of Antoni Gaudi, a Spanish architect and an overall hero in Barcelona, Park Gϋell is the place you’ll want to be. (Read our full review of the park here.)
ARC DE TRIUMF
From there you can walk to the ARC DE TRIUMF. Take some pictures and admire the architecture of this beautiful entrance to the park.
PARK DE LA CIUTADELLA
Walk through the park and watch the street performers and artists. Cross the street and enter the PARK DE LA CIUTADELLA. Enjoy the beauty of the park and find the famous fountain.
GOTHIC QUARTERS
Since it’s time for some lunch, it’s also time to walk around the GOTHIC QUARTERS. This section of town is filled with historic buildings and mazes of adorable streets. Find somewhere that serves lunch outside and have some sangria. After lunch, keep walking around stopping for a cocktail, some gelato, or souvenir shopping. It is the best place to people watch.

CATHEDRAL OF BARCELONA
In the Gothic Quarters, head toward the CATHEDRAL OF BARCELONA. There is often street performers and musicians playing in the square. Take a peek inside the church.
PONTE DEL BISBE
Next, take a short walk to see the PONTE DEL BISBE. You need to get a picture of this beautiful archway.
This would be a good time to head back to the Hotel Barcelona (if you’re staying there). Have a rest or go up to the rooftop to read, relax, have a swim, or drink a cocktail.
Dinners is at EUSKAL ETXEA. At this authentic tapas restaurant, you can eat as many tapas as you’d like and at the end of your meal, they will count up the toothpicks to see how much you owe. It’s a great way to try new tapas.
PALAU DALMASES FLAMENCO SHOW
After dinner, head over to the PALAU DALMASES FLAMENCO SHOW. Watch some amazing musicians, singers, and dancers put on a passionate show. (Read my full review here!)
On the way home, stop for a drink in a local pub. Still hungry? Find a place with outdoor seating and share some paella.
