Barcelona for tourists

A proud beauty, the city is the capital of Catalonia. It is interesting for tourists due to its beautiful sights, rich history and excellent cuisine. I want to come back here again and again to walk the same streets again, visit the famous market, and also admire the boundless sea.

Experienced travelers book a hotel in Spain online, compare rates and reviews. For example, in Barcelona you can book the Vincci Maritimo hotel on the seafront from 101 euros per night.

The Rambla

It is a street exclusively for walking, 1.2 km long. As the famous writer Somerset Maugham said, the Rambla is the most beautiful street on earth. Here you can look at mimes who pretend to be statues, buy something from merchants right on the street, and finally, just take a walk.

There is one interesting sign connected with this street. Where the boulevard originates, there is a fountain of drinking water. It is called Canaletas and, according to the legend, anyone who drinks water here will return to the city again.

Gothic Quarter

This is the heart of ancient Barcelona. The history of all of Barcelona is stored here: in narrow streets, randomly located, in old houses and temples. Here is the Cathedral, built in the Gothic style, the ruins of various buildings of the Roman era and many interesting places.

Aquarium

This is one of the most important centers on earth, where they study the fauna of the Mediterranean. 14 different ecosystems are presented here: sandy and rocky coast, algae accumulations, underwater grottoes. In the aquarium you can observe a variety of underwater inhabitants in their natural environment. Also presented are small inhabitants of the seas living in mini-aquaria. Large representatives of the underwater world are sharks of several species. They can be seen right above your head, walking through the glass tunnel.

Boqueria Market

This is a breathtaking place, here you are once again convinced that the Spaniards love to eat deliciously. Large counters that are bursting with food abundance. Products presented in a large assortment are brought from all over the country. It is worth coming here not only for shopping, but the unforgettable atmosphere of ancient Catalonia reigns here.
