[Europe][Spain] Food & Gastronomy in Spain vol. 1: General observations and tips
It's been more than 9 months since I first landed in Barcelona Airport and I have been living in Spain predominantly since then. Here are some tips and observations in the eyes of a foreigner:
1. 5 meals a day!
2. Restaurant opening hours: lunch and dinner start at around 1-2pm and 8-8:30pm respectively
3. Latte: order "cafe con leche" or "cafe latte"; one might end up getting a cup of warm milk if ordering "latte"
4. Olives: it is common to be offered a plate of olives in restaurants
5. Many great places for food of different price ranges: from the food market, the tapas bar, the "casa" restaurants, to Michelin star restaurants
6. Tapas! (to be covered in next post)
7. Many good local wine and reasonably priced. I recommend trying out different cava, red wine (e.g. tempranillo), white wine (e.g. verdejo), fortified wine (e.g. sherry), etc.
8. Some renowned food in Spain include iberian pork, olive oil, churros, paella, jamón, etc.

Dining at this lounge was no short of a fine dine restaurant!
#travellerswonderland The food options at the Barcelona airport lounge are absolutely amazing, offering an impressive variety that caters to every palate. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a vibrant spread of dishes, from fresh salads and gourmet sandwiches to local Catalan specialties. The selection of tapas was particularly delightful, showcasing flavors that represent the region perfectly. There were also various international cuisines, making it easy to find something appealing no matter your taste. The desserts were equally enticing, with beautifully presented pastries and sweet treats. I loved the atmosphere, which was relaxed and inviting, allowing me to unwind before my flight. Overall, the lounge food experience exceeded my expectations, making my time at the airport enjoyable and delicious. I can’t wait to return and explore even more of their fantastic offerings!

My trip to Barcelona was absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to visit again soon. The offer I found on Trip.com was by far the best I could find, and the entire experience with the company was top-notch. Trip.com is especially great for new customers, as they offer a variety of discounts and promotions.
I was able to book a round-trip flight and a hotel room for a fraction of the price that I would have paid through another travel website. The booking process was easy and straightforward, and I received my confirmation email immediately.
When I arrived at the airport in Barcelona, I was met by a friendly Trip.com representative who helped me find my transfer to the hotel. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the staff was very accommodating.

Llobregat delta - a gem in Barcelona
absolutely off the beaten path and not on the list of most visitors, the entire area of the delta of the Llobregat river is absolutely stunning. Lots of protected walkways bike paths and nature preserves, with watershed and many species of migratory birds. If you love nature it is absolutely worth a short side trip from the airport and into the delta area. just beautiful and relaxing ##Llobregat

Barcelona T2 - small and convenient
whenever I get a choice, I will opt to travel from terminal 2. in comparison to the much larger T1, it's much more manageable, less traffic, easier parking, and overall much less crowded. Especially T2C which is dedicated to EasyJet, travelling from there is a breeze, no long queues, quick security and then you are immediately at the gate. in 3 minutes I am at the gate and though security.#barcelonatravel

smoothless bookings and good discounts
I was a bit anxious at first booking through a third-party site, not knowing if the bookings were legit or if this was a scam promising cheaper rates but adding extra charges later.
Actually I have been really pleasantly surprised by trip.com. The service is reliable, prices are usually cheaper that directly booking with the airlines and I get my booking code within minutes. Their search engine is reliable and prices match the results. I don't need to use any other site to compare. They are consistently better. This was such a great find!

Barcelona
Barcelona is great for walking, with beaches, food, art, bars, buildings.
The Gaudi Trio:
Sagrada Familia: It's not finished yet... the lighting is really beautiful.
Casa Mira: a Gaudi-designed apartment building showing where Gaudi lived, the roof of the building is great for hitting the pictures very out of the box.
Casa Bartolo: one of my favourite buildings, it shows Gaudi's imagination and mastery of curves.
Caramel Hill: suitable for the evening to go, watch a sunset, and the whole city gradually darkening night scenery, see the city lights up a little bit, if you are lucky, there will be a light show outdoor party in the evening, feel the enthusiasm of the Spanish.
#barcelona
You can arrange half a day to go to the beach, the city's more famous beaches are: barceloneta, gave, castelldefels. not too far away you can take the train to sitges, about an hour drive.
Gracia Street: In the evening you can stroll down Gracia Street. It's a street of luxury goods, and the view is beautiful.
