Walking around Gràcia

inquiets — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 16:17:13 +0000

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…

Find your way in Barcelona

Whenever I arrive to a new city, all I want to do is walk down the streets, go sightseeing and enjoy every minute.
However, sometimes it’s easy to get lost…
That’s why I wanted to explain you a few tips which will make your visit easier.
Is Plaça Catalunya the city center?
Why do people say toward the mountains, or towards the sea?
Why is la Diagonal so important?
With this video and map, there’s no way you can get lost in the city!

Plaça Reial

inquiets — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 14:05:03 +0000

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!

Arc de Triomf

inquiets — Tue, 11 May 2010 10:09:46 +0000

Arc de Triomf is one of the reference points in Barcelona.
It is near Parc de la Ciutadella, that’s why it’s a very crowded area, and you will see citizens and tourists riding their bikes or just walking.
This monument is very curious, because while triumph archs were always built as a tribute to victories in battles, this one was conceived as the entrance of the 1888′s Universal Exposition. We are of peace!
Furthermore, near Arc de Triomf you have a wide variety of transport: bus, metro or train.
And finally, very near, there is a really delicious museum.
Will you resist the temptation?

Plaça Espanya

inquiets — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:34:43 +0000

Plaça Espanya is one of the meeting points in the city.
You can get there by almost any transport, and believe, there are a lot of things to be seen.
Many important congresses and exhibitions are held in it, like the Mobile World Congress, for example.
And in a few time, the old bullring “Les arenes” will become a shopping centre and a really rocking museum!
Moreover, every weekend, a spectacular musical show takes place at Montjuïc’s magical fountain, which is next to MNAC, a museum you must visit.
We have already been there… But that’s another video!

Walking through Les Rambles of Barcelona

inquiets — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 06:47:37 +0000

Les Rambles is the most colourful place in Barcelona. It is always full of people walking up and down, either tourists or not.

The human statues, the animals, the flowers… All of them make a big impression in every visitor.

And guess what! Les Rambles have a special fountain called Canaletes. It isn’t just where we celebrate all of FC Barcelona’s victories.

It has something magical…

Plaça Catalunya

inquiets — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 00:58:22 +0000

Plaça Catalunya is the core of the city. Everybody meets there to go for a drink, shopping of whatever, so it’s normal to see people standing up waiting for their friends.

Well, I am affraid of piggeons (as you can see), but some people gives them food. You can buy it there if you want to feed those rats with wings… I preffer not to do it…
