items We visited Spain and Portugal back in May and we had a great trip. We stayed close to the Gothic Quarter, which was quite central to most tourist spots. It is a wonderful city and I would definitely go back again!

I really think we maximized our time in Barcelona with this tour. Both Park Güell and Sagrada Familia are must-see sites, and this tour helped with the transfers. Park tickets were sold out the day we were there, so if you were not with a tour, you w...
Skip the Line: Park Guell and La Sagrada Familia Guided Tour

Casa Batlló, Official website
The only way to see the interior of the Palau de la Musica Catalana in Barcelona is at a concert or on a guided tour. I bought tickets to this Spanish guitar concert and it was so good! The interior was magical and the acoustics was fantastic. The da...
Barcelona Guitar Trio & Dance- Palau de la Música
Small group in-depth tour of the Gothic quarter. This is so much history in this area and it is best to meander the narrow streets in a small group where it can get crowded.

upscale seafood restaurant with energetic waitstaff. Food was excellent. We sat at the bar and it was also entertaining to watch the waiters in action. Nor a cheap place to eat but the seafood quality is top notch. People were well dressed. Reservati...
BAR CAÑETE - El Raval
This is my son's recommendation. He was in Barcelona fo a month and his Spanish friends took him there. It is a family-run restaurant/bar close to the National Museum. Get the classics, patata bravas, calamari, croquettas.. etc
TAPS
Wonderful food market with tons of food to choose from. Everything is fresh. Good place to get breakfast or lunch or early dinner. We stayed in an apartment and we brought fresh ingredients there to cook breakfasts in the morning
