Guides for Things to Do in Barcelona

I've had a fascination with Gaudí ever since the first time I clapped eyes on a photo of the Sagrada Familia in high school art class. That was nothing compared to seeing works like Casa Batiló in the flesh. The forms, the colours and the details were like nothing that architecture had ever seen before, and there's been nothing like it since. I've visited many, but not all, of the works listed in this guide, so join me on the quest to see them all. Enjoy!

Of all the places I've travelled to recently, Barcelona offered the very best food and appealed the most to the foodie in me. From the cheapest tapas bar to the highest end restaurants, I was continually impressed by the freshness of the ingredients and the creativity in the food. The price here was also quite reasonable compared to other food meccas like Paris and Tokyo. Here's my guide to the best I had while I was there.
