Take a walk down this popular pedestrian fairway lined with <strong>shops and\u00a0<\/strong><strong>restaurants<\/strong>\u00a0and filled with <strong>street performers<\/strong> and <strong>musicians<\/strong>. Stop to have breakfast or a morning snack at the famous\u00a0<strong>La Boqueria market<\/strong>, where your senses will be overwhelmed with sights and smells from the dozens of stalls inside. Let yourself be tempted to try some of the delicious Spanish and Catalan specialties and enjoy the ambiance.

The Maremagnum has tons of restaurants and shops where you can check out the latest fashions in Barcelona. Keep going along the port and eventually, you will find yourself in <strong>Barceloneta<\/strong>, the most famous <strong>beach<\/strong> area of the city.
