Just got back from Spain + Portugal and I'm so glad I found your channel! Trying to relive the trip thru Youtube. Completely agree with the Eiaxample area. Very charming, more sophisticated than the touristy and busier areas, clean, and good shops and restaurants. Hi from a fellow Chicagoan! And thanks Sarah for the yoga studio tip.

Thank you for this informative video. Personally, I like to stay in El Born and L’Eixample. In Barcelona, I found one of the best vegetarian restaurants I’ve ever tried: Green Spot in El Born. Thank you!

Thanks for the tips!! We are planning to spend 2 or 3 days before departure for a cruise trip in Barcelona. Which area do you recommend to stay for a family with kids? Thanks for the help!!!

Great video! Going for the first time this weekend, for New Years. We are staying at Poblenau -- is this an okay area?

This video is fanastic! I took notes! Can't wait to visit there for my family's first time this June (two teens). Two questions for you; what do you think of hotel vs airbnb for Eixample? And by any chance have you been through Costa Brava? We are looking at spending a few days there, I saw a place called Zel Costa Brava but can't find any reviews on it.

I am planning to travel with my wife and almost 2 years old baby. Would you be able to recommend budget hotels to stay in the Gracia neighbourhood?

[sarahtonin]

Thanks for the info! But I can't find the link to your recommended bars and restaurants.

Thanks for the video! We’ll be visiting Barca in early may. For me it will be the 6th time, just love this city! We’ll be staying in Som Nit Port Vell, near the port, at the beginning of Via Laietana. We will definitely rent some electric bikes again, because that’s a great way to get to know big parts of Barcelona. We’ll also try some of the restaurant tips you gave us. Looking forward to it! Thanks again!

What card do you recommend for public transport if you’re there for 3 days ?

[twotidoce]

Yea its normally not unsafe but definetely watch out for pick pockets, never leave your bag unnatended for any time and if some one asks you if you have a belt while pulling on you pants he's trying to get in to your pockets. City of theifs it is but not robberys thank god. I still love Barcelona im going there in july woopwoop!

Great information thank you for sharing. If I buy tickets for Park Guell ahead of time, will I still need to stand in line to get in?
