Cost/Budget: €0
Location: Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 749, 08013 Barcelona, Spain
Notes:

[ Google Review ] Despite its brutal past, the building itself is very pretty. There is a small museum here and you are able to walk around almost all of the building, through the corridors, stands and even some of the back rooms. The entry fee is also very reasonable. This might not be one of the top sites in Barcelona but I'd definitely recommend visiting if you have time.

[ Google Review ] As an architect it was impossible for me to visit Barcelona without seeing this pavilion with my own eyes. Of course i was amazed by the simple yet fascinating building that stands on the corner of the street. A truly one of a kind experience.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Situated in an old factory, the space is very impactful and worth a visit (tickets are €6 for adults)! Considering how huge the structure is, I was surprised to find out there was only one exhibition to see (we went for the one on tattoos), but at least they provided portable stools to take around with you, which I appreciated very much! There is a cafe & restaurant available inside. A bit over priced if you ask me but inside a beautifully curated space. Ps. I would definitely take the lift to the rooftop to enjoy the views

Notes:

[ Google Review ] This restaurant has a nice ambiance with local live music. The service was really professional, fast and kind. The olives, pulp and truffles desserts (chocolate, white chocolate and passion fruit were very fine). However, in the «mashed » potatoes with bacon there was too much garlic

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Make sure to buy tickets in advance and to book a slot! If you’re going during the touristy season like I did, you could wait up to 30 minutes in line to get in but it is absolutely worth the try. It costs around 17€ for an all inclusive ticket plus 90 minutes audio guide. Alternatively, you can book a guided tour. There’s plenty to see, beautiful building, and a big gift store that has anything you need from a museum gift store. All in all, definitely a recommended activity if you’re into art.

[ Google Review ] You may be wondering, why do I write ✍️✍️✍️ these reviews or why do I make these pictures? I write them because not only do I love people and art in all it's forms... I write them... because I find such bars as this one.... It's a bar in the middle of a busy street corner yet it's so "quiet" in a sentimental way. It's got this old world feel with a modern vibe. Sitting right smack in downtown Barcelona...cars, buses, people passing by...and yet ...this busy busy corner street bar... Has got a quiet... almost sentimental feel to it. Such a small corner bar... yet so big in life... I can honestly say, it's not a bad place to be, whether you have breakfast in the morning sun...or drinks after dark. ❤️

Notes:

[ Google Review ] First impression is our check in wasn’t smooth, seems like the receptionist was new and it took us almost 20 mins to check in, after being on an plane for over 8 hours all you want to do is get to the room and rest. Also, the girl who took us to our room told us she was new and didn’t know where our room was once we got to the floor. The rooms are spacious, but nothing special for a 5* hotel, not to mention the overpriced room service and the food was disgusting. We really liked the bar @ the hotel and the location is convenient. Breakfast is good as well but could add more hot meat options other than just pork bacon and chicken sausage. The gym is nice and well equipped and the staff is overall very friendly but not sure if we’d stay here again for what it is.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Absolutely beautiful! Visiting here in March is real nice: the weather is sunny and warm with a bit of breeze! The sea is tranquil, blue and clean. There are less tourists around so you can have a truly relaxed time in the fine sandy beach.
