If you're in Barcelona and have had enough of Spanish food, why not change things up and try some Portuguese cuisine? Oporto Restaurante is a great choice. Portuguese dishes are known for their seafood, and the Mediterranean-style cooking offers a lighter, fresher taste compared to the richer flavors of Spanish cuisine. Oporto Restaurante is not far from the Sagrada Familia, making it a perfect spot for lunch after your visit. The restaurant is decorated with many Portuguese elements, such as wine, the Portuguese flag, and painted tiles, but the most eye-catching feature is the wall full of wine bottles. We ordered the codfish and steak rice. The codfish is first steamed and then pan-fried, making it juicy and tender, served with the rare addition of straw mushrooms. The steak is a safe bet, accompanied by Portuguese-style wavy fries, greens, and a sunny-side-up egg, all served with rice. We finished our meal with a lemon beer.

Staying in an apartment in Barcelona, we visited the street-side restaurant and bar 'La Tere Gastrobar', near Sants Station. It appears to be a Spanish cuisine restaurant. If you don't have a reservation, try your luck by arriving early! The restaurant's decor features a modern, minimalist, and stylish design, creating a bright and cheerful atmosphere. We were lucky to get a table for six. How can you not order grilled octopus leg when having Spanish cuisine? So, we also ordered grilled vegetables, grilled squid, grilled pork ribs, grilled mentaiko bread, and grilled lava cake. We went all out with grilled dishes! To our surprise, the octopus leg was braised, not grilled. The tender texture with rich sauce was different from what we expected but still quite delicious. Overall, the dining experience was great. From the reception and ordering to the serving, we felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The Spanish hospitality and friendliness are truly well-deserved! This hidden gem is definitely worth a try.

A day trip hike to Montserrat, near Barcelona, offers a fantastic blend of stunning natural beauty and spiritual significance. The jagged peaks of the Montserrat mountain range rise dramatically from the surrounding landscape, providing a breathtaking backdrop for your hike. You can start with a train journey from Barcelona to the base of the mountain. From there, you can choose from various hiking trails, ranging in difficulty, that wind through the unique rock formations and offer panoramic views of the Catalan countryside. Many trails lead to the Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey, a historic monastery perched high on the mountainside, home to the Black Madonna (La Moreneta), the patron saint of Catalonia. Exploring the monastery, including its basilica and museum, is a highlight of the trip. We took the cable car up to the monastery, before taking the furnicular up towards the peak. Afterwards, it is a short 300m elevation climb to the peak of Montserrat at 1236m above sea level. After your hike and exploration, you can enjoy the views and perhaps a meal at one of the restaurants near the monastery before returning to Barcelona by train, filled with the fresh mountain air and the inspiring scenery. #hiddengems

NATA Lisboa, a renowned egg tart shop from Portugal, is just as good as the century-old Belem shop. NATA Lisboa's flavors are more appealing to the general public, with a crispy exterior, rich and creamy filling, and a light, sweet milk flavor. A sprinkle of cinnamon or powdered sugar adds even more to the taste. You don't have to travel all the way to Lisbon to enjoy NATA Lisboa! NATA Lisboa has opened many branches across Europe and even worldwide. Besides Lisbon, they now have a branch in Barcelona. The store's cute and youthful decor is very refreshing, and the egg tarts taste just as authentic and delicious as in Portugal. Each egg tart costs €2, and the fillings come in various flavors like apple, pineapple, almond, caramel sea salt, and lemon. In addition to drinks, they even offer decadent milkshake sundaes! NATA Lisboa knows how to capture the hearts of food lovers, which is why they have so many branches.

When I first visited Barcelona, Spain, I was drawn to the unique appearance of the Mirador Torre Glòries and decided to stay at the nearby Four Points by Sheraton Barcelona Diagonal. This business hotel is located in the Sant Marti commercial and residential area, conveniently close to the Glories metro and tram stations, making it easy to get around. Sant Marti is more of a commercial office area with fewer tourists and more business travelers. Although it is not in the old town, it is not far from the famous Sagrada Familia, which is within walking distance. Additionally, the modern and technologically advanced Mirador Torre Glòries, a conical-shaped observation tower, offers a panoramic view of Barcelona. Four Points by Sheraton Barcelona Diagonal is a sleek and modern four-star hotel. The design is contemporary without being overly luxurious, providing a pleasant stay experience. The standard twin room is about 23 square meters, and while the space is not large, it is warmly decorated. However, the price is a bit steep, approaching 7,000 TWD per night. The hotel is near the large Westfield Glories Mall, which offers good living amenities, including restaurants, chain clothing stores, and Carrefour, making shopping quite convenient.

1. Address - Tourist Spots 📍 Highlights - Casa Ballto is a must visit! Also Sagra Da Familia, there are loads of cute souvenir and desert spots around it that you should definitely try out - all walkable! I believe to enter both you have to pay, but I’ve heard it’s very cheep €€. Would definitely recommend a day to visit tourist spots! Rating - 10/10 2. Address - Brunch & Cake 🍴 Highlights - this is my favourite brunch of all time! They have the same branch in Dubai and it’s absolutely amazing! The price is so good and affordable, and the hospitality is amazing! If you rented a car ( like us ) there’s loads of parking around to leave your car! Rating - 20/10 3. Address - The Burger Maker 🍔 Highlights - this lunch spot is amazing - it’s halal as well !! Milkshakes are a must try they were amazing and you can basically make your own burger at this restaurant so you can have it just how you like! Rating - 10/10 4. Address - The Egg Lab 🍳 Highlights - if you’re looking for a more different kind of breakfast / brunch I would definitely recommend this spot. However when we did go there was a bit of a wait and queue so I would suggest going a bit earlier to avoid this! The food is also halal here and also so so filling. Rating - 9/10

#getgoing2025 Barcelona is unbelievable popular destination for travelers from all over the world. I see many reasons for it - it’s full of stunning architecture, delicious food, fun and crazy nightlife etc. I’d like to share my travel tips for you to be prepared for a trip to this European capital: • There will be lots of tourists during the season, so I would suggest to travel there in winter time like I did and to book all attraction tickets in advance • If you want to have an authentic cultural experience in Barcelona, you can look for local events that embrace Catalan traditions like the parades of giants, human tower gatherings, Sardana dance circles and th • Everyone will tell you La Rambla is a must-do, but for me, walking the Rambla feels a lot like walking through Times Square back at home – crowded, touristy, and to be avoided whenever possible. Thankfully, the city has more than one Rambla, where you can actually enjoy the slow strolling these city features were built for. • Barceloneta is the most famous beach in Barcelona, and the adjacent neighborhood is worth checking out for its narrow streets and great tapas spots, but travel further down the coast if you actually want to lay out on the beach. Barceloneta can get very crowded and noisy with tourists, so walk or cab your way past Port Olímpic to Platja de la Mar Bella. Because all the beaches in Barcelona are artificial, built for the 1992 Olympic games, the sand isn’t the nicest, to be frank. • Pickpockets are a real issue. You should never let your guard down, especially when riding the metro or walking down crowded tourist areas like La Rambla. Put your phone away whenever you’re not using it, and never leave it sitting on the table if you’re dining outside Have an amazing time in Barcelona!

#JapanFlightEvent @@Those of you who are planning a trip to Barcelona, ​​Spain this summer, take note🇪🇸 If you were to ask me which country I liked the most among the countries I've traveled to, I would recommend Spain. That's how many times I've been to Spain, and Barcelona in particular was so good that I've traveled there 3 times. For those of you who are planning to visit Barcelona for the first time, I'll recommend a few places to visit!🫶🏽 🏨Recommended Barcelona Hotels - Hotel Colón Barcelona Hotel Colón / A 5-star hotel located right in front of the Barcelona Cathedral. The rooftop terrace cafe is especially famous for its view of the cathedral. (Even non-hotel guests can use it.) - Leonardo Hotel Barcelona Gran Via Leonardo Hotel Barcelona Gran Via / This is a 3-star hotel that I recommend because of its great facilities and service. It's a great value for money accommodation! 📍Places to visit in Barcelona - Catedral de Barcelona / A cathedral with a different charm from the Sagrada Familia Cathedral. It's located in the Gothic Quarter. - La Rambla / A shopping street with various shops and restaurants. Always full of people. - Mercat de la Boqueria / An indoor public market with lots to see, including food, meat, and processed foods from Spain. - Casa Milà, Casa Batlló / These are famous buildings by the genius architect Gaudi. If you travel to Barcelona, ​​you must take a Gaudi tour! - Parc Güell / If you haven't been to Casa Milà or Casa Batlló, you must visit this place. This park perfectly shows Gaudi's identity, and it's great for a walk, quiet, and has many photo spots. - Basílica de la Sagrada Família / A place you absolutely must visit in Barcelona. The Sagrada Familia Cathedral! I've been to many European cathedrals, but I think the Sagrada Familia is the most magnificent and beautiful. I highly recommend you try the audio guide tour🫶🏽 - Plaça de Gaudí / A garden in front of Sagrada Familia, famous as a Sagrada view photo spot. - Bunker MUHBA Turó de la Rovira / A viewpoint where you can see the entire city of Basel at a glance. It's famous for its sunset, but it's currently open until 6pm. - Tibidabo / An amusement park with a Ferris wheel and several rides. It's a viewpoint in Barcelona with a magnificent cathedral. Of all the places I've been to in Basel, this is probably the prettiest sunset & night view point. - Camp Nou Spotify Camp Nou / You should definitely watch an FC Barcelona game. I went when Messi was there, but it's still the best for watching La Liga games..! Watch El Clásico. - Arc de Triomf / It has a different charm from other European triumphal arches. Sometimes, small festivals are held in front of it. - La Barceloneta / Barceloneta Beach, a must-visit in summer and winter. - Castell de Montjuïc / A castle built in the 17th century, it is the symbolic castle of Barcelona. The view is great, and the fountain show at the Montjuïc fountain is the best! Barcelona is so beautiful that I've visited it 3 times, and there are so many places to visit. Spain has a Mediterranean climate, so it's warm even in winter. It's hot in midsummer, so I recommend April-June and September-October! If you're visiting Barcelona for the first time, save it and use it as a reference.🧡 #europe #europetrip #barcelona #spain #barcelonatrip #spaintravel #Europe #Europeantravel #Europeantraveldestination #Europeantravelrecommendation #Barcelona #Barcelonatravel #Spain #Spaintravel #Spaintraveldestination #Barcelonahotplace

I went to the famous tourist spot in Spain, "Buceria Market" 🍽️🇪🇸 It's located just a short walk from Liceu Station 🚉 It's a lively market where you can eat fresh seafood, fruit, and prosciutto while walking around 👟 The products were lined up in colorful displays, and it was a lot of fun just to look around ☺️✨ The prosciutto and fruit juice were especially delicious 🐖🥤 There were also several bars in the market where you could sit down and eat and drink, and all the shops were crowded! I also recommend eating pinchos and paella while drinking 🥘✨ They also sold small bottles of seasonings such as salt and olive oil, which are perfect as souvenirs! After purchasing, they will carefully wrap the vials so they don't break🛍️ It didn't feel dangerous at all, but it was quite crowded with customers, so be careful of pickpockets⚠️ 🕰️Business hours: 8:00-20:30 *Closed on Sundays 📍Location: La Rambla, 91, Ciutat Vella, 08001 Barcelona, ​​Spain #Overseas travel record

#2024 Travel Review The concert hall was built between 1905 and 1908 in Barcelona, ​​​​Spain; this beautiful building was declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1997. It is the work of architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. He was deeply influenced by "Catalanian modernism", Art Nouveau style, emphasizing nature! The works can be seen incorporating elements of nature, such as flowers, birds, plants, animals, etc., into the architecture for decoration. Have bought tickets for the tour, so there is about 2 minutes of music to listen to, although only recorded, but is already shocking, really can not imagine if the live performance would be a feeling of what the shock is indescribable, It would be even better if there was an orchestra performing.

#2024 Travel Review Gaudi Barcelona 3 parts, of which to be sunny to be beautiful. A very characteristic and very refreshing park, the architectural design concept is blended into nature (or vice versa), colorful large lizards and different patterns of arc stone walls Park Guell's story is actually very funny, and gaudi's work, but because of air pollution problems someone asked him to build a house on the mountain, originally thought to build 60 households but because no one asked in the end only 2 buildings, so Gaudi himself Pay for 1 building and live on your own, and now it becomes an attraction. The design does not have square columns, stones made into stone walls or stone columns are very artistically matched with the nature of the park, and overlooking the entire city of Barcelona at the high point of the park

#2024TravelReview Every major city in Spain has a #Plaza de Spain , and each Plaza de Spain looks a little different. Barcelona's Plaza de España is located on a major traffic route. The intersection of the España train station and the subway station is presented in a circular shape, connecting the surrounding #MagicFountain, #VenetianTower, and #NationalArtMuseumofCatalonia. Next to the Plaza de España there is a circular building called Arenas, which used to be a bullring but has now been converted into a shopping mall. From the top floor you can overlook the square, the city and Montjuic Mountain, and it is free. Walking through the Twin Towers of Venice, you will see the famous Magic Fountain and the landmark Roman Columns. Going further up is the National Art Museum of Catalonia, which has a commanding terrain and a very broad view. During local festivals in October, there is a grand fireworks show in Plaza de España that is just as lively as the New Year's Eve fireworks. Coupled with the magical light show of the fountain, it is always crowded and well worth a visit. #SpainTravel #BarcelonaAttractions #Barcelona

Barcelona's Gaudi architecture tour starts with the most accessible spot: Park Guell. Resembling a fairytale cottage in the forest, it's vibrant and full of joy! Covering 20 hectares, Park Guell is divided into two main areas: the Monumental Zone and the free Forest Zone. Gaudi's iconic structures, such as the gingerbread houses, the lizard, and the terrace area, are located in the Monumental Zone, which requires a €10 ticket for entry. The mosaic-tiled wave benches on the terrace may look hard, but they are actually ergonomically designed for comfort. From this vantage point, you can overlook the entire Park Guell and even get a panoramic view of the city, making it an ideal spot for watching the sunrise or sunset. The most famous mascot in Park Guell is the large lizard made of colorful mosaic tiles. To take a photo with it, you have to patiently wait in line! At the main entrance, there are two fairytale-like gingerbread houses, which were originally planned as gatehouses and porters' lodgings. Now, they serve as a museum and gift shop. Park Guell is located on a hill in Barcelona. You can take Metro Line 3 and enter through the main entrance, but the downside is that you have to climb a long uphill path after getting off. Another option is to take Bus 24 and enter through the back entrance, which doesn't require climbing, but the downside is that it's farther from Gaudi's architectural complex, requiring a bit of a walk.

#2024TravelReview Barcelona's architectural art is world-famous. In addition to the surreal and magical buildings of #Gaudi, there are many unique buildings. This Spanish architectural tour specially booked the #Palais de la Música Catalana guided tour, with a dedicated guide for €22. The Palau de la Música Catalana is a typical modernist building designed by the flower architect Dominic. The interior uses a large number of mosaic tiles and flower-themed stained glass, which looks colorful and luxurious. Once you enter, you can't help but admire it, especially the super gorgeous crystal chandelier, which is really amazing! In addition to the commentary, you can also enter the performance seats in the music hall and listen to a piano performance by a professional guide. Looking at the gorgeous reliefs, crystal chandeliers, stained glass, and huge organ, this performance venue is so high-end that you feel as if you are an aristocrat who comes to enjoy the performance. It is a wonderful feeling. If you do not purchase a ticket to visit, you can also go to the cafe on the first floor of the Palace of Music, order a cup of coffee, sit in the elegant environment, sip it carefully, and appreciate the charm of Catalan modernist architecture. #Barcelona #ArchitectureTour #Palais de la Música Catalana
