Basilica Santa Maria Del Mar The first mention of the Santa Maria del Mar was in 998, yet as you can see when you visit the basilica, the cornerstone was laid in 1329. The style is a perfect example of 14th century Catalan Gothic and the temple is seen as an icon for Catalan Gothic. It´s situated in the middle of the little, cozy streets of El Born, la Ribera area. Especially the inside is really impressive, imagine it took about 5000 persons to build this temple.

Montjuïc hill have a lots of beautiful parks and gardens (also my favorite botanic garden). It is also home to museums, such as the Fundació Miró , the Museu d'Arqueologia, the Museu Etnològic and the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya-MNAC. Near by is CaixaForum, a cultural centre which hosts temporary exhibitions. The Magic Fountain and the Poble Espanyol, with its "artisans' village", are other places of interest in Barcelona which are a must-see.

Bunkers of Carmel, today what is left of them are the old concrete platforms that were once part of anti-aircraft battery during the Spanish Civil War. In the post-War it was a shanty town until the early 1990s (you will find tiled floors of what used to be houses), and has lain abandoned since then. It offers amazing views, from this place full of history, as post civil-war immigration to Barcelona is very important to urbanisation of this wonderful city, thanks to which Barcelona is what it is.

One of the best places for seafood in Barcelona! There's usually a line outside but it goes pretty quickly as they have plenty of space inside. The great thing about it is that you get to choose the things you want from the counter (fish market style) and then tell them how you want it cooked (grilled or fried). You can choose between squid, cuttlefish, mussels, fish, monkfish, shrimp, etc. It's a canteen style eating in a loud, vibrant atmosphere.

It's a work of Antoni Gaudi located in the upper part of Barcelona, which has wonderful views of the city. You can reach there taking the metro L3. The metro stop is 2 minutes walking from home. There are 2 options to get Parc Guell: 1) You can enter from the principal door but you have to pay 8 euros. In this case, the metro stop destination is Lesepps 2) You can enter for free using the mechanic stairs. The metro stop destination is " Vallcarca". But with this option you'll visit only a part of all park If it is your first time in Barcelona, I recommend you the option 1 because you'll see the most beatifull part of the park
