Fundació Joan Miró
Culture Places and highlights
1 Comment

 

Hi everyone!
Do you know that Joan Miró decided to build Fundació Joan Miró just to promote contemporary art?
Some of the artist artworks such as sculptures, paintings, designs and tapestry are displayed in this museum.
Come to Montjuïc to discover the essence of Miró’s art with your family.
And remember, walk up to the roof to take a breath taking picture from Barcelona!

Walking around Gràcia
Places and highlights
9 Comments


Hey everyone!
Do you know that Gràcia was an independent village before becoming a neighborhood of the city?
That’s why its people feel so different to the other Barcelona’s inhabitants.
Walking down Gràcia’s streets is absolutely charming, with its genuine shops and bars.
And you know what I love the most?
Getting up in a sunday morning and having a drink in one of its squares with someone.
Maybe the next time you come to the city…
;)

La Sagrada Família
Places and highlights
16 Comments


When a monument is visited by more than 3 million people every year, there has to be something.
And la Sagrada Família has it. Something difficult to explain. Magical. Wonderful.
And there are not enough lines to explain it.
Its construction began in 1882, and it’s not finished yet.
Antoni Gaudí created, without knowing it, Barcelona’s most representative image.
Nowadays, people are still working following the architect’s directions.
It has been said that the temple will be finished for Gaudí’s death century.
But don’t wait for it, you can come earlier!

Show must go on at Avinguda Paral•lel
Culture Places and highlights
2 Comments


Have you ever imagined to have, in no more than 200 meters, theaters, cabarets, or even erotic shows?
Well, in the past, Avinguda Paral•lel was that place. Or even better.
Nowadays, this major street in Barcelona mantains some of these places, and is the visit is really worth it.
And what about its name? Paral•lel? Do you imagine its origin?
This, and much more, in our video.
Enjoy!
:)

El Parc Güell
Places and highlights
3 Comments


There are lots of restaurants to have delicious meals in Barcelona, but sometimes, the perfect meal is just a sandwich in the perfect place.
And today we show you the most magnificient park: el Parc Güell!
Gaudí designed it as the perfect combination of architecture and nature.
Do you know what is “trencadís”? And have you seen the snake-shaped bench?
Well, the time has come for you to know.
Don’t forget your sandwich!

Barceloneta’s beach
Places and highlights
4 Comments


Let’s come clean…
You love visiting Sagrada Família, walking around Parc de la Ciutadella and eating a delicious “tapa”, but when it’s summer, Barcelona means specially one thing: beach time!
Today we visit la Barceloneta, one of the most important and the favourite one for foreigners.
And forget about just laying down, because there are plenty of activities to do.
Wanna know them?
Then click play!

Museu Frederic Marès
Culture Places and highlights
1 Comment


Now that is summer, there’s always time for a drink.
But although Barcelona is full of bars and terraces, there are other spaces.
Like Museu Frederic Marès, very near from the cathedral.
In it, you can visit el Verger, a wonderful courtyard, where you will find Cafè d’estiu: drinks, snacks, and free wi-fi connection!
So… Juice or lemonade?

Your beach in Barcelona
Places and highlights
9 Comments


Can you feel the sun in your skin?
Me too!
I love Barcelona because it’s pretty easy to get to the beach and sunbathe or have a dive.
But hey… What beach do you prefer?
We have seven different beaches, each one with its own characteristics.
So, after watching the video… What’s your beach?

Laberint d’Horta, Barcelona’s wonderland
Places and highlights
8 Comments


Have you seen a white rabbit?
Anyone?
OK…
This morning, we were at Laberint d’Horta, shooting a video, when something happened.
It is one of the most wonderful and original parks in Barcelona.
So, if you see a little sweet bunny while you enter the labyrinth, just tell me.
There is something I need to tell him!

Plaça Reial
Places and highlights
3 Comments


This week we stay close to les Rambles.
Plaça Reial is the only square with porches in the city, and you really have to visit it.
Not only because of it’s history, but for being one of the hotspots in Barcelona.
During the day, bars and restaurants to have a drink or sit down and eat something.
At night, a place with a very active nightlife.
Furthermore, during weekends, a lot of activities (clowns, music concerts, exhibitions…) take place at Plaça Reial.
Have a look at this website to know more!
