10 Magical Experiences to Have in Barcelona
Pay a Visit to the Picasso Museum
Topping lists of what to see in Barcelona is the Museu Picasso, which houses one of the most extensive collections of Pablo Picasso’s works – 4,251 pieces in total. The permanent collection pays homage to the formative years of the Spanish artist, with the vast number of works revealing Picasso’s developing genius. The artworks also display Picasso’s deep and enduring relationship with Barcelona.
Marvel at La Sagrada Familia
As one of the most famous and unique sights in Spain, taking a peek at the Sagrada Familia is one of the most interesting things to do in Barcelona. The church was Gaudi’s obsession, and one of the final buildings he worked on before his death. He poured his own funds into the project in an attempt to complete it, but never succeeded.
It still stands unfinished today — work has been going on for nearly a century now, and estimates say it may not be complete until 2040.
The church is distinctive for its ambitiously high towers and curved silhouette (Gaudi had a strong dislike of straight lines). Whether you like it or not, you won’t be able to stop yourself from gawping in awe at this building.

Be ‘Sea’duced by Seafood
From vibrant red Palamos prawns to delectable Galician mussels, Barcelona’s cuisine takes the bounty of seafood offered up by the Mediterranean sea and turns it into dish after outstanding dish. There are a plethora of fine seafood restaurants in Barcelona — some of the best are Botafumeiro, La Paradeta and La Barceloneta.
Alternatively, you can ask a local for a recommendation and you’ll be pointed straight to the nearest restaurant serving up tasty seafood and distinctive Catalan flavors.
