Travel to Spain - BARCELONA


Expert: Víctor Díaz - 7/3/2008

Question
Hi, i am going to barcelona on August for 5 days. This is my first time to spain. I am coming from asia, Singapore.
Can you tell me the "must see attraction", where to eat, the night life and most important "shopping" :)
Thank you!

Answer
Hello Kelly

My knowledge about Barcelona is a bit limited, as it's a long time since the last time i was there, my first hand information is outdated or forgotten.

I still can recommend the following:
Visit:
Anything regarding Gaudi, Sagrada Familia, Parq well, casa Mila...
Gothic quarter + Ramblas
Olympic facilities at Montjuic, great views of the city.

I wouldn't spend too much time in Barcelona museums, may be only Picasso museum or Fundacion Miro if you love modern art.

With five days you can do one or two daytrips as well (easy to do by train)
Half day trip to Montserrat

Tarragona

Girona

About shopping, i know most commercial area is around Portal del Angel, but there is much more, see the tourism web site (link below).
