Barcelona, Spain - Part 2

Day 2 of the beautiful Barcelona trip..
Destination: Park Guell. When Nature met Gaudi. A monument of World Heritage, is named by Count Eusebi Guell, a Catalan textile enterpreneur, best known as a patron of Antoni Gaudi.
THe breathtaking view of the city is sure to capture your memory.

Park Guell can be accompanied by a visit to Gracia. Beautiful buildings of past centuries make you have a relaxed feeling and a sense of culture all around. Enjoy your sangria in one of the little shops with the tables out.
And since you're here, you have to taste some pure catalanian flavours. Try the Origens. A dreamy meal. ;-)
Next stop: Forza Barcaaaaaaaaa!!!! Camp Nou. Home of FC Barcelona since 1957. Seats 99.354, making it the largest stadium in Europe. Entering will give u goosebumps and feel like u're in the centre of the world.
If you have the chance, book a ticket and watch a football match. Still regret I didn't!! :-(

After that, walk Av.Diagonal towards the city centre and pay a visit to Piscolabis tapas restaurant. Choose between almost 70 different tapas to have with ur beer or sangria.

Day 3
Destination: Port Vell, L'Aquarium. 11.000 animals and 450 different species. The most important aquarium on the subject of the Mediterranean. You'll just be amazed by the colors some fish have..haha

I was thinking all the time what if that glass broke..with all those sharks swimming above you..eww..just..DON"T think about it!! lol
Close to the aquarium is the zoo. I didn't go, but some of my friends did and said it was beautiful but very very tiring. Don't know, so can't really say..
I preffered to visit Poble Espanyol. One of the most amazing places I went to. Absolutely loved it. You'll find lots and lots of shops..Macrame, masks, ceramics, carved wood, jewellery and of course hand fans. Be sure to visit the glass workshop. Smells like candy..:-)
We ate at a cute restaurant sort of medieval. Don't remember the name and don't have a card.., but you'll find plenty of places to eat there.

Last day, was dedicated to shopping...lol El Corte Ingles is one of the biggest department stores in Barcelona.
Custo Barcelona, Desigual, La Gauche Divine, La Boheme, Mango are some of the shops that will make ur wallet thinner..

Oh..and I mustn't forget..Bellart Chocolatery. The best chocolate shop!! ;-)

This post is dedicated to my friend Indra!! Hope u have an amazing, magical trip with great experiences and memories to last for a lifetime!! :-)

xoxo
