Sagrada Familia
Most beautiful architectural structure I've seen.
Barcelona
Things to do
Park Güell
Reserve ahead; great walking areas, city views, and architecture.
La Rambla
Bustling shopping and urban area.
Mercat de la Boqueria
Food market with a lot of local food and shops.
Barcelona Cathedral
Beautiful from the outside and free to enter.
Courtyard is a nice quick exploration.
3 euro exhibit with city / cathedral views; my sister and brother-in-law loved it.
Casa Batlló
Exterior is an absolute work of art, especially at night with the lights.
Gaudi context
One of Gaudi's masterpieces; he shaped a huge amount of Barcelona.
Barceloneta Beach
Did not make it because of time / cold, but heard it was beautiful.
Parc de la Ciutadella
Right by Barceloneta and worth pairing if you are nearby.
Food
Telefèric
Best tapas I had so far.
Solid portions, slightly pricey; duck ravioli is a must.
Mayura
Went to satisfy parents, but it was honestly great.
Good price, great portions, beautiful interior, and highly rated.
Taco Bell
Solid and different from the U.S.; they had quesarito and other items not in the U.S.
Food markets / local places
Better way to cover ground than fewer large meals.
Not sure you can go wrong.
Transport
Metro pass
Definitely a move; easy to navigate and good reach.
Metro zoning
Understand zoning before buying a zone-specific pass.
My 48-hour pass was zone-agnostic.
Uber
Cheaper than expected.
