  1. Spend a day shopping – There is nothing better than visiting all the designer shops when on holiday! Barcelona has a lot to offer, and a lot of places to shop too. Style comes in the form of fashion and this wonderful city has a lot of style. Not only does it offer all the well known designer stores but it also has its own small fashion boutiques you can find when walking through Borne and Gracia.

 

  1. Explore a world of history – When going on holiday, I love to get a real understanding of the culture and history of the place I am visiting. One of the best ways to do that is to explore one of the many amazing museums Barcelona has to offer. Learn about the art and architecture that the city was built on.

Spanish people know how to have fun, and for different events they hold street festivals which anyone can be a part of. Offering Great music, dance and authentic Spanish cuisine to satisfy anyone.

 

  1. A romantic walk on the beach - When visiting a place like Barcelona, there is always so much to do, but that doesn't leave room for relaxation. Sometimes, you need to just spend a day or two laying on the beach and enjoying the lovely weather. Maybe even take a romantic walk by the ocean with that special someone.
