Some Important to Do List When You are in Barcelona

Barcelona is a big city. If you go there, it's the perfect size to discover on foot. Spend a day away from the metro and the tourist bus. If you're in the mood for visiting some of the most impressive buildings and parks, you'll want to see all the Parc de la Ciutadella that offer as well as the Parc de Joan Miró, and the Montjuïc castle. Get off the beaten path and head up to Horta, get to know the charm of the Sant Andreu district, see a lesser-known side of the Eixample and take in amazing  panoramic views.

One of Barcelona's top attractions for tourists is looking with great pleasure the city's modernist architecture, and the art of Antoni Gaudí. Just walking around you'll come across various examples of Gaudí's work throughout the city, be they civil or religious buildings. The most famous are the Sagrada Família, impressive both outside and in; a space that's out of a fairy tale and emulates an English garden city in Park Güell; and La Pedrera. But don't forget to visit  the other Gaudí buildings, such as Palau Güell, Casa Batlló, Casa Vicens and (if you have time to venture a bit outside Barcelona) the crypt of the Colònia Güell, in Santa Coloma de Cervelló.

In Barcelona, walking in the park is not only a way to relax, it can also lead you to discover some great art. Get up and get out for a walk around the lush gardens of the Teatre Grec and then head over to the Fundació Joan Miró, one of the largest museums in the world and home to a collection of over 225 paintings, 150 sculptures and graphic pieces by the Spanish surrealist painter, along with a number of works by his contemporaries.

About the foods Pintxos pintxos made of chicken tempura with saffron mayonnaise, melted provolone with mango and ham, or a mini-brochette of pork. It is Basque tapas - plates of bite-sized goodies served atop a piece of bread - and they're also a culinary trend in Barcelona. Tradition calls for you to pick at the food with toothpicks, and at the end of the night you will be charged for the number of toothpicks that you have used. Where you can get stuck in to ham empanadillas (a type of pie) is one of the best places to give them a try is Euskal Etxea. But don’t  you forget, there are many more pintxos places in town as well.
