Barcelona Short City Break

I took my husband to Barcelona in February. The main reason for going was so that we could take in a match at the Nou Camp. On the Sunday we went to see Barcelona play in the New Camp. Great atmosphere. We also did the tour of the stadium the following day. We found it easy enough to get tickets for the match. We went to the stadium 2 hours before the match and bought the tickets at the ticket box.

Barcelona has so much to be excited about. Within minutes of our first walk along Las Ramblas the atmosphere was magic. This long street just fizzes with energy. The street is filled with spectacular shows and performers that go on almost every minute of the day and night. We enjoyed a beer while watching the buskers and street performers.

The old city of Barcelona encloses the cleanest and loveliest city I have visited. The streets and buildings were all graffiti and litter free. The buildings and architecture is amazing.

We took a city tour on the hop on hop off tourist bus and were explained some of the history surrounding the city. Excellent value for money and we saw all the sights close up. We visited one of the most unusual churches in Christian architecture. Gaudi’s unfinished Sagrada Familia. Amazing building and it is still not completed.

Barcelona has also got a beautiful waterfront where you will find a selection of beautiful bars and restaurants and a big shopping mall. We walked along the waterfront. It is about 3km in length. It used to be Barcelona’s old Port.

The night life is excellent and has definitely got something to offer for everyone.

I would happily return to Barcelona for a nice short break. It is has got so much to offer and has the option of doing a 2 centre holiday along the coast of the Costa Dorada.
