Barcelona Old Town
2. Get Lost In Barcelona’s Old Town
Known as the city’s Barri Gotic, there is a maze of stress you can wander through and where it seems that time has stood still. If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life whilst enjoying a glass or two of wine or beer, or even just a delicious hot chocolate then this is the place to go. As you wander through the streets look closely at the buildings surrounding you as many of the are from medieval times, whilst a few even come from when the Roman’s were in occupation.
3. Feast On Some Amazing Mediterranean Dishes
If you want to really try some delicious local cuisine then a visit to Mama Cafe located in El Raval is a must. Here you’ll have the opportunity to sample dishes that use only organic produce in them in a building that was once home to an art gallery. However what really sets this restaurant apart from many others is the opportunity to be able to see the chefs at work creating some truly amazing culinary items that you will enjoy.
