Sunny and vibrant Barcelona
This place offers you the magic Mediterranean along with a hyper kinetic urban lifestyle. The must-sees are:
- La Rambla: a three-lined street with lots of outdoor cafeterias and stores.
- Basilica de la Sagrada Familia: Certainly, the most famous incomplete masterpiece by architect Antoni Gaudi, is something you simply cannot miss.
- Barri Gotic (Gothic Quartet): Is part of the old town, with that impossible infrastructure and quiet squares where musicians are often found on the streets playing typical Spanish songs with their guitars.
- Moments Restaurant: Located near the Casa Mila, a mansion designed by Antoni Gaudi, this place will give you the best gastronomic experience in the whole country; hence, their two Michelin Stars.
Beautiful Tarragona’s seaside
This city has it all: the sun, the sand and the historical heritage of thousands of years. If you see yourself going there, you must definitely visit:
- Playa Del Milagro: that counts with a mesmerizing view of the Mediterranean Sea and it’s on a walking distance from the city center.
- Roman Amphitheater: It’s a wonderfully well preserved building from the second century that is only a small part of the Roman-esque vibe of the city.
- El Serrallo: For those food tourist, this old fishing villa is the perfect place to find only the fresher and the locally produced goods.
