Barcelona is an enchanting seaside city with boundless culture and fabled architecture. The city is big. I stayed there for a week and still found that I have not seen enough. I am waiting for another opportunity to visit Barcelona again.

From the airport, I took the bus and later changed to the metro to get to the place where I have booked the accommodation. I stayed in the Saint Jordi Hotels for 3 nights. This is about 10 minutes walk to the famous La Sagrada Família. Later I moved to Christopher’s Inns Hostel and stayed for another 3 nights. Both hostels provide good buffet breakfast.

For dinner, I got food from the nearby supermarket and and heat them up in the microwave.

I joined the walking tour in the morning. In the evening I joined the food tour where the guide took us to a local restaurant to taste the Spanish tapas.

The walking tour is very popular and we are divided into a few groups. The tour is free by we are expected to give some tips to the guide after the tour. This is cheaper than taking the tour from travel agent.

In the others days, I walked around visiting other places of interest.

The street performers were amazing. Will need to pay to take pictures with them.
