It was Gaudi's dwelling place for many years and the attention to the tiniest detail is visible in every corner.If you are fond of architecture, this house is an absolute must with its mysterious chimneys, superb vaults, interesting light features and beautiful windows. These are only some of the architectural treats in store - just pay a visit - you definitely won't be disappointed. On the down side the entrance fee is a steep EUR16.50 but this inlcudes an audio guide.close

This is immediately evident from the Gothic monuments and Roman Walls surrounding the area and the stunning Cathedral. As you walk around you have the feeling of being back in time and there are usually a few buskers playing classical music which adds further to the old world atmosphere. There are a host of interesting little shops along the narrow streets and side alleys where you are sure to pick up an original gift. Some areas of the Gothic Quarter are known to be seedy at night time but if you keep your wits about you, its generally a fine area to socialise in. The Gothic Quarters' central location makes it an ideal place to stay and budget accommodation is quite plentiful here.close

The Funicular chugged its way up the mountain. Myself and Sinead were gazing out the window looking at the beautiful scenery. Finally we have arrived. we headed straight for la Altaya (the watchtower) where the views are amazing. We were able to pick out everywhere we had visited along with where our hotel was. We brought lunch with us and had a lovely picnic atop the hill which was really nice. Afterwards we headed for the amusement park which was so much fun. Sinead wasnt sure about the rides and didnt trust them but they were great. Perfectly safe, just look very old which for me added to the charm. A lot better than flash gravity defying monstrosities. Anyway, we headed back to the hotel on the Funicular which zipped (as opposed to chugged) back to the nicest city in the world.close

The train takes under two hours from Barcelona and the museum is clearly marked from the station. The artist designed the museum himself and the collections benefit from the artist’s efforts in presenting his works according to his taste and eye. The building itself is fascinating: a circular maze with lots of side-chambers and passageways presenting particular pieces. Recommended for anyone with even a passing interest in Dali’s work or in art exhibitions generally, due to the skill used in planning the exhibition space.close

   When in Barcelona, you have to visit really - fabulous stadium. Would love to go for a match - I ended up going to the local Barca derby as it happens but in Espanyol's ground. Recommended too - but Camp Nou is outstanding.

About 4km from Place de la Catalunya, Parc Guell is an enchanting landscaped garden popular with bohemian and radical types. Buskers provide entertainment which adds a magical touch to the atmosphere. The architectural highlight is the house to the right of the park - Casa Museu Gaudi where he lived for most of his last twenty years. It is worth the stroll to the hilltop to view the mosaic lines seats where you can rest, people watch and take everything in.close

It costs €19.00 for the day and €23 for two days. They have three different routes and you can get on and off at any stop. The buses come on a regular basis, we never waited more than 5 minutes for one. It is a great way to learn about the city, see which areas you want to explore more or just use it to go shopping at all the different shopping centres.close
