Barcelona was selected by “National Geographic” as one of the 50 must-visit places in a lifetime. As a popular tourist destination in Spain, the most familiar is the architect Gaudí, who had a great influence on Spanish architecture. We combined a 3-day, 2-night itinerary. On the second day, we visited a total of 7 attractions, from attractions, transportation, and food, to introduce you to all the must-see Gaudí buildings.

Early this morning, we visited La Sagrada Família, a church that has been built for over 100 years. Similarly, it was designed by the architect Gaudí. He knew that he would not be able to witness the completion of the church during his lifetime, and moved to the church in 1925, devoting himself wholeheartedly to the design of the church. The design of the church is divided into three sides, and the detailed sculptures on each side tell a different story of Christ. As a popular attraction known to the public of Barcelona, you must go to the website to buy tickets before arriving. I highly recommend listening to the guide's voice to learn the story behind the entire church and sculpture.

The colourful Park Güell was built in 1914 as one of Gaudí's works and is listed as a World Heritage Site. What Park Güell is famous for is that the design of each tile is very detailed, and the combination of colors makes people feel happy. The high point of the park offers a panoramic view of Barcelona, making it a place for many visitors to check in.
🍴La Torreta del Parc Güell
💡 Location: Next to the entrance to Park Güell (map requestClick here)
💡 Opening hours: 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM
🍴 Spanish ham (free)
After visiting two famous sites, we went to La Torreta del Parc Güell for lunch, a restaurant next to the entrance to Park Güell. While we were waiting for the meal, the clerk gave us the Spanish ham that came with a plate. The tomato bread on the side doesn't have a strong flavor; the olive oil flavor is more prominent. The ham, on the other hand, has just the right amount of saltiness and is very tasty.
🍴 Potato omelette (€6)
Potato omelette is a famous home-cooked snack in Spain, and is a must-try dish when visiting Spain. As beforeMálagaUnlike what you've eaten, the one that has soared up here is even more delicious, and you can feel the bite of a potato grain.

🍴 Japanese ink rice (€12)
The staff here were very friendly and reminded us to be careful not to rush when the ink rice was delivered. The ink rice here is rich in ingredients, so you're sure to eat the seafood in every bite. Two large shrimps can be easily cut to the shrimp with a knife. The food and staff here are all quality, and there are no service charges on the bill, so I highly recommend everyone to eat here after visiting.

After lunch, walk about 17 minutes from Park Güell to another Casa Vicens house designed by Gaudí. The unique design of the exterior wall is reminiscent of the splendour of the Chinese court. We only took pictures outside and left. Those interested in visiting can check the official website.
📍 Palau de la Musica Catalania Palau de la Musica Catalana
💡 Location: Urquinaona station - 2 minute walk (map requestClick here)
💡 Official website:https://www.palaumusica.cat/ca
💡 Opening hours: 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM
The Palau de la Musica Catalana is a concert hall built in 1905. The exquisite and spectacular design of the concert hall also made it one of the world heritage sites. There just happened to be a show that day, but unfortunately we weren't able to buy tickets, so we just hurriedly took pictures at the entrance and left.
📍 Barcelona Cathedral Barcelona Cathedral
💡 Location: Pla de la Seu, s/n, 08002 Barcelona (map requestClick here)
💡 Official website:catedralbCN.org
💡 Opening hours: 08:00 AM — 12:30 PM, 5:45 PM to 7:30 PM (Mon - Fri) | 08:30 AM — 12:30 PM, 5:15 PM - 8:00 PM (Sat - Sun)
Passing through Barcelona Cathedral on the way, there were band shows and marathons here on the weekend, which was very exciting. Many visitors and local residents gathered here to enjoy a relaxing weekend, and the atmosphere was very friendly. What's more, I should pay attention to my personal belongings in crowded places. I met a young girl nearby who opened my backpack. Fortunately, there were no valuables in it.
📍 Columbus Monument Columbus Monument
💡 Location: Plaça Portal de la Pau, s/n, 08001 Barcelona (map requestClick here)
💡 Opening hours: 8:30 AM — 8:30 PM
About a 15-minute walk from the cathedral, past Ramblas, I saw a tall building in the distance. Columbus Monument The Columbus Monument is the most iconic monument in Barcelona. It stands at the end of Ramblas and is 60 meters high. This monument commemorates the place Christopher Columbus returned to after his first voyage, Barcelona, and it is also the only statue of Columbus in Spain pointing to an African country, and not to any other American country where the new continent was discovered. If you pay close attention to the sculpture under the monument, you can see the famous people who supported Columbus's sailing plan in Spain and how Columbus went all the way to success.
📍 Port de Barcelona Port of Barcelona
💡 Location: Puerto de Barcelona (map request)Click here)
💡 Official website:http://www.portdebarcelona.cat/
Just a few steps further from the Columbus Monument, you'll arrive at Port de Barcelona. After the meal, I took a walk along the seaside and watched the sea shimmer, reflecting the boats and architecture on the shore. It was very picturesque. There is a remarkable bridge in the middle of Barcelona Port. After crossing the bridge, you can see the only shopping mall in Barcelona that is open on weekends Maremagnum. Although it is located in the center of the sea, there are no special stores in the mall. Most of them are chain stores commonly seen in Europe, such as Victoria's Secret, Pull & Bear, etc., so it's not a must-see location.
🍴Pan & Company
💡 Location: Moll d'Espanya, SN, Local 5a-5b, 08039 Barcelona (request map)Click here)
💡 Official website:https://www.pansandcompany.com/en/
💡 Opening hours: 09:00 AM — 00:00 AM (Sat - Thu)/01:00 AM (Fri)
After going around the mall, we went to Pan & Company, a chain coffee shop next to the entrance of the mall and ordered Churros Genevas. Churros, also known as Spanish churros, are a famous dessert in Spain, so we were always excited to try it out during this trip. Unfortunately, the Guinabao here didn't have any ingredients, that is, it was fried too crispy. Although the heat soared, it was only salty and salty like Hong Kong fritters. The story of hot chocolate dipping guinea bars would be too liquid. Fortunately, it had a rich flavor, so I wouldn't recommend eating Churros here.
The trip to Barcelona came to an end. Although it was Spain, it was a very different feeling from Malaga. The city is quite popular, has well-developed transportation, and most attractions require fees. Barcelona has an inseparable relationship with the architect Gaudí, so in order to be able to visit more of the iconic sights here, it is rather difficult to concentrate on a two-day itinerary. So, if you're planning a trip to Barcelona, consider staying a few more days!
