2- Visit local markets
To get closer to local products, visit
La Boqueria off Las Ramblas. This sprawling market is often crowded with tourists, locals and commercial buyers - but negotiating around the maze of stalls is part of the fun: you can pick up food to take away or eat at one of the market stalls.

3- Parc Güell
The view of Barcelona from the
Parc Güell may be worth the price of admission on its own. The Palau Güell (1886-1890) was once one of the most beautiful private houses in the world and here you can see Gaudí's innovative ideas about space and light. Strolling through this visionary park designed by Gaudi is a relaxing and stimulating experience not to be missed.

4- Tomato bread
It is a classic among the classics, what a great invention! It is simple but delicious and is part of the Catalan gastronomic identity. The first reference to this union of bread and oil, today something very elementary, dates back to the houses of the Cayes at the end of the 19th century. The secret? A good bread to sprinkle with a little salt in advance. It follows the tomato, which is cut crosswise and rubbed on the bread and olive oil. And why not accompany it with a good raw ham?
