plane leaves in 5 hrs taking mrs tts for the time of her life.. any do’s and dont’s..

If you want to get away from the main tourist spots we went to an amazing arts/music festa in an area called Gracia where they decorated all the streets in all sorts of crazy ways – not sure what it’s like normally but it seemed like there were lots of cool bars/restaurants/shops etc.

Gaudi stuff is cool just gets very busy. The Parc Guell was nice, to get out of town a little. The hills above Barcelona give a great view over the city, you can get a funicular railway up that links with the main train system.

above the diagonal is worth a mooch less tourists and crowds with cheaper/better food. the rambas is shite apart from cafe de l’opera for hot chocolate and churros and la boqueria market.

if you like photography there is a good exhibition on at the CCCB of Branguli’s images, not heard of him before but well worth the €5

first thing i order when i visit is a plate of fried baby squid. yum.
