Beatriz from Barcelona for Big City Chase Barcelona :
"Hola, my name is Beatriz, Im originally from Sevilla and moved to Barcelona when I was 16.
To get the most out of Barcelona, I would of course advise to get all the time needed to admire all of Gaudi's work, but for an ideal leisure day here is what I advise you to do :
First thing in the morning, get to the eixample to have breakfast in a nice coffe shop, then hang ou in that neighborhood for strolling and shopping. Head to El Raval for lunch time especially in those nice and simple restaurants with terrasses around theMacba, you'll see real Barcelonians. Order some tapas and traditional catalonian food in one of those popular restaurants for locals.
After lunch, hit the beach, and get the most out of
Nova Icária's beach between its wonderful sandy spaces, water sports activities and its shopping center. After beach time, go and grab a cocktail on one of the great rooftop terrasses bars on
Passeig de Gràcia, for dinner, I don"t give you any advice, any neighborhood will be fine, as you know Barcelona is a great city for gastronomy, you can't go wrong if you choose a traditional catalonian or a fusion restaurant. "
