NATURAL PARK OF SANT LLORENÇ

Forty kilometers from Barcelona, this park is a mountainous area with spectacular crags and rocks. There are more than 1,000 varieties of plants, including rosemary, rockrose, heather and white pine groves.

In the interior, mountain oak, maple oaks and other types of trees are found, and in the springtime primrose and violets are in bloom. Thriving on the highest areas of the cliffs, we find interesting rupicolous vegetation.

Boars, genets and a large variety of birds, birds of prey, inhabit the park. Accessed from Barcelona by A-18 highway to Terrassa. From there, the Talamanca roads goes up the Estenalles pass, where you can visit Montcau, the second higest peak in the park.

Flamenco tablao

This flamenco tablao has presented many top stars over the years. It now caters mainly to the tourist trade, but avoids the fripperies of some coach-party venues.

When my friend show me this first time I was moved. It was amazing experience, as I love every form of dance. I invited my sisters when she visited me last time and I must admit that the level of performance went down, but it`s connected with the fact that the local is under new ownership, I presume. But good thing is that the prices have gone down.

Park Güell

Güell park, designed by Antonio Gaudí is the most famous park in Barcelona, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It has been subject to all types of praise and criticism, including comments such as “outrageous modernism”, “surrealistic island”, “nightmare expressionist park”.

First conceived as a private estate, it became a public park in 1922. The main entrance to the park and the stairway leading to the Hundred Columns Room are structures where Gaudí clearly let his imagination run free.

METROPOLITAN PARK OF COLLSEROLA

The Metropolitan park of Collserola preserves a good example of the Mediterranean forests of pine and oak trees. Spectacular fields of rockrose, heather and broom can also be found on the sunny slopes.

Two of the most interesting sights are the Hermitage of Sant Medir and the Natural Reserve of Font Groga.

Sandwich & Friends

In the heart of the Born neighbourhood, just in front of the old market, this trendy café and bar is a common meeting point for groups of friends.

The interior is dominated by a huge mural painted by popular illustrator Jordi Labanda, though in fine weather the crowds try to grab the chairs out on the plaza first. Spacious and never too noisy, this is a good spot for getting a group together before heading out for a night in the bars of the Born.
