📍Spots to visit - ! 10/25 - El Born - Parc de la Ciutadella - Arc de Triomf - Plaça de Sants district - Hostafrancs district - Plaza de España - Montjuïc 📍Plaça de Sants If you want to get a glimpse of a local residential area, head to the Plaça de Sants district. It's not a tourist spot, so it's not a must-visit, but you can see some unique apartments. Barcelona is definitely eco-friendly, with lots of greenery on apartment balconies. 📍Parc de l’Espanya Industrial There was a really nice kindergarten here. A park right next to it, open walls, a pond surrounding the classrooms—it just seems like the perfect learning environment! But I wondered if it might feel a bit too open. 📍Hostafrancs It seems like the area is divided into Sants and Hostafrancs, with Parc de l’Espanya Industrial at the center. Getting closer to Plaza de España 🏃🏻♀️. There was a massive building nearby—maybe a stadium or a theater, not sure. Barcelona taxis are yellow and black 😎🚖. 📍Plaza de España Plaza de España is not only beautiful but also a masterpiece! On the way to Montjuïc, there are two large pillars on either side. 📍Montjuïc It seems like others visit the Montjuïc Castle way up there. But since I was on foot, I debated whether to go and eventually gave up 😅. Instead, I opted for a different attraction here! Definitely worth a visit—it serves its purpose well 😙. 📍Palau Nacional de Montjuïc (National Art Museum of Catalonia) Inside, you're greeted by a dome ceiling, and interestingly, there's a sofa placed right in the center. You can view Catalan-style tiles from the old days and uniquely designed cabinets. It's quite distinctive, and I feel like there could still be demand for such designs even today 🤔. Personally, I found the museum's architectural style more captivating than the exhibitions 😝.

national art museum of catalonia inside the palau nacional on montjuïc, built for the 1929 international exposition. from the steps you get amazing views over plaça espanya and the city, especially at sunset (＾▽＾)ﾉ inside you move through catalan art from the middle ages to the 20th century: romanesque church murals taken from pyrenean villages, big gothic altarpieces, renaissance and baroque painting, and modern art with modernisme, noucentisme, posters, design and photography. fun fact: the romanesque mural collection is one of the most important in europe, with whole church apses rebuilt inside the museum. around the building you can walk terraces and gardens, and go up to the rooftop for extra city views. practical info (｡•‿•)っ • address: palau nacional, parc de montjuïc, 08038 barcelona • hours: may–sep tue–sat 10:00–20:00, sun 10:00–15:00; oct–apr tue–sat 10:00–18:00, sun 10:00–15:00; closed mondays • free entry: every saturday from 15:00, every first sunday of the month, plus 11 + 24 september and 18 may (international museum day). free visits usually require booking a time slot online. plan at least 2–3 hours: even if you are “not into art”, the building and the views are worth the climb (╹◡╹) #falladventures #barcelona #mnac #museunacionaldartdecatalunya #palauanacional #montjuic #romaneskart #gothicart #modernisme #artmuseum #museumday #viewpoint #sunsetspot #barcelonawithkids #thingstodo #tripcom

Visited the department store and cinema near Plaça d'Espanya, not for a movie but to enjoy a panoramic view of the grand square. This building was originally a bullring, and while the exterior remains the same, the interior has been completely transformed. From here, I even spotted a small rooftop swimming pool on a nearby hotel! Had a Mexican wrap for dinner at the mall—still counts as Latin culture, right? Then, I made it on time to the National Art Museum to watch the Magic Fountain show. Oh my! The place was packed! Every spot where you could stand or sit was taken. The light and fountain show started at 9:30 PM, transitioning beautifully from sunset to nightfall.

If you want to travel in winter and enjoy both the romance of the mountains and the sea and the humanistic feelings, and relax in the warmth, then go to Southern Europe. 11 days, 2 countries, 6 cities, no backtracking (start->E: self-driving, E->end: plane). Let's share Spain first: ▶️Day 5-6 Lisbon - Seville (C) - It's worth the ticket price to see a wonderful performance in the birthplace of flamenco - Seville Palace, which feels like a low-end version of the Alhambra - Try the winter 🍊, I heard that the leaves are different in shape, some are sour and some are sweet - The most beautiful Spanish square can be visited early in the morning when there are fewer people ▶️Day 7 Seville - Malaga (D) - Granada (E) - Originally planned to go shopping in Malaga, but encountered a beautiful rainbow and sunset by the sea ▶️Day 8-9 Granada - The Alhambra (P1-6) is the top 1 favorite of this trip, worth a day of deep experience, passing by P4 to the center to talk and have unexpected harvest (remember to buy tickets in advance on the official website!!) - Strolling around the city of Granada, seeing the snow-capped mountains is inexplicably touching ▶️Day 10-11 Granada - Barcelona (end) - The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is the top 2 favorite, who knows how many photos were taken inside, go in the evening, it's unbelievably beautiful - Due to time constraints, I only visited the outside of Casa Mila and Casa Batllo - The outlet in Barcelona is worth visiting, the price is good 👍
