BARCELONA

not a complete guide but a few ideas to get you started...

🌀A Vocados con Gràcia, Boulangerie Mayer, La Caravana, Mr. Kakigori, Xurreria Trebol, breakfast cinnamon bun from Flor de Gràcia & coffee from OZ bakery & Baluard bakery (all in Gràcia area)

🌀pottery classes I wanted to join in at Atelier Moli

🌀Novela Coffee or Three Marks Coffee

🌀El Nacional Tapas Bar

🌀rooftop drinks at Ciutat Vella 🍸 or ice cream nearby from Gianduia (you know I’m always on the lookout for a good ice cream)

🌀walking around Parc Güell & snacking on fresh strawberries with a little (potentially not allowed) picnic on the benches

🌀strolling around Eixample & the Gràcia neighborhood (maybe my fav!)

🌀buying the best olives & strawberries of my life at the Mercat de la Concepció

🌀truly truly in love with all the architecture and beautiful facades, could walk around all day just looking up and admiring them (& dreaming of future apartments some day 👀)

🌀the stunning Palace of Catalan Music (Palau de la Música Catalana) with super cute streets (& bookstores) to explore around

🌀lots of good thrifting at HUMANA stores (especially when they have “happy hours” where everything is 25% off) especially in the Santa Caterina area

For vintage shopping:

- Vintage AE5

- Any Humana (there are so many good ones!!)

- Mahalo Vintage

- El Indio Vintage

- Zoetrope Vintage

🌀churros, churros, churros from Xurreria Trebol

🌀birthday dinner at La Pepita! So yum! Order the patatas bravas!

🌀DeLaCrem for ice cream, check out the different flavors available on their board 🍨 long line at night!

I think I could never get sick of this city! Can’t wait to go back in 2026 when the Sagrada Familia is complete! Gaudí was truly a genius and this trip reminded me of his insane architectural talent and vision! 🍇🍒🍊🍋🍐🫐
