Arrival and luggage drop-off.
A secluded, hauntingly beautiful square tucked away from the crowds. It feels like a film set, but the scars on the walls are real remnants of the 1938 bombings. This was Antoni Gaudí's favorite spot for quiet reflection.

A Gothic masterpiece with a stunning rooftop view. Don't miss the internal garden where 13 white geese live. The geese represent the age of Saint Eulalia, the city's co-patron. Off. site: Barcelona Cathedral

Famous for its undulating, brightly colored ceramic roof that mimics the waves of the sea. It’s a less touristy, more authentic alternative to La Boqueria. The market is built over the ruins of an ancient convent. Off. site: Santa Caterina Market

A hidden cultural oasis with a massive leafy tree in its central courtyard. It’s the ultimate "local" spot for a cheap drink in a historic setting. It serves as a social center for the neighborhood's elderly residents and young artists alike. Off. site: Antic Teatre
Easter Egg: The entrance is a nondescript door; once inside, the space opens up into a secret garden.
Move towards the Magic Fountain area.
The grand steps of the National Museum offer the best free sunset view in the city. Street musicians often provide a live soundtrack to the panoramic vista. The building was constructed for the 1929 World Expo. Off. site: MNAC
