BCN for Barcelona

Ola! Buenos dias! Whoever visited Spain in their life, knows how relaxed the lifestyle is. Siesta says it all! And I love it 😻 I visited Barcelona in a few layovers and every time I have seen so much that besides counting hundreds of photos, my mobile phone counted around 17km of walking each time!
From the architecture to the Mediterranean weather, atmosphere on the streets, music and good smell of food, it is an inexhaustible source of inspiration and energy!

Sagrada Familia

It is very easy to move around in the city: by walking, cycling, metro or bus. Just careful about the pickpockets in the metro, it is quite famous for the fast hands! There are many museums to visit, so you will definitely need a lot of time here. I would advice to stay outdoors when the weather is good and leave the indoors visiting in the wintertime.

Passeig de Gracia

Who is the notorious architect of Barcelona, the greatest exponent of Catalan Modernism? If you haven't heard about GAUDI', you have surely seen some of his works, they are all around the city: Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo', Park Güell etc. His works are colorful and quite recognizable.

La Rambla is the famous and most visited street where you can shop and find a lot of entertainment. That is where La Boqueria is, the colorful food market where you will want to come back again and again in order to try a bit of everything.

You will never get bored just wandering around the streets and discovering hidden treasures. There are so many beautiful churches, my favorite is the gothic style such as the Cathedral of Barcelona.

At the sunset time I am usually looking for water, because the reflection of the sunrays and the open view are just splendid and extremely calming, heartwarming, besides romantic. The seafront is full of restaurants with any kind of cuisine, as well as entertaining shops and playgrounds.

There is another beautiful park where in the summer time events such as concerts are organized: Parque de la Ciutadella. It has a rich flora and many centenary trees. A perfect place to relax with a book, take a walk or enjoy the ludic activities. There is a monumental Cascade, a Zoo and also the Parliament of Catalunya.

And as the journey is coming to an end, the Crew hotel happened to be quite attached to another architectural wonder worth seeing nighttime: Torre Glories, a high tech skyscraper made by Jean Nouvel intended to recall the shape of a geyser rising into the air. Indeed it does, geyser or not, it definitely is an explosion of altitude.
