Barcelona is the Spanish city which draws the most tourists, and it's easy to see why. The downtown is bustling and lively, with endless shopping, restaurants and pubs, as well as beautiful architecture and attractions.
Barcelona Gothic Cathedral and La Rambla - a popular downtown shopping street.
Casa Batllo, a modernist museum (above) and Park Guell (below) created by Barcelona architect Antoni Gaudi. He was also the man who envisioned and designed the Sagrada Familia church.
Last weekend, we took a funicular (it had the feeling of a gondola but was more like a rail car) up to Tibidabo, which is known for it's beautiful church, amusement park(!) and spectacular views of the city and beyond.
This week we also went for a bike ride along the beach, which was lovely. As if the huge stretch of beaches in Barcelona weren't enough, there are numerous beach towns within an hour's train ride. We visited Sitges - a favourite among Catalans - with my parents at the beginning of the month.
