We crossed spacious streets, with building resembling palaces, in La Rambla promenade; the shops were well illuminated and there was movement and life… I did not decide to go to sleep, even though I wished to, so I could rise early and contemplate, in daylight, this city, unknown to me: Barcelona, capital of Catalonia. -Hans Christian Andersen
This city exceeded our expectations above and beyond! Barcelona is so rich in history and it’s architecture is something I have never seen nor experienced in my life. Our favorite thing to do in a new city is walk the side streets and alleyways… really getting lost and trying to soak it all in.

A must do when visiting this city is, of course, touring La Sagrada Familia and checking out all of Gaudí’s amazing and unique architecture scattered throughout the whole city.

When in Spain, you flamenco. Or at least watch the professionals flamenco.
If you’re looking for recommendations on where to stay in Barcelona, we found the cutest boutique hotel, Ohla Barcelona, right in the heart of the city! Plus. it has an epic rooftop bar/pool and the views aren’t all that bad either ;). I found our hotel on Mr. & Mrs. Smith… they specialize in boutique hotels all throughout the world. So if you’re looking for something unique and different, this is the place to look! Plus, they have hotels in all prices ranges – bonus :).
