COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE
This interesting street connects the cool Nova Esquerra de l’Eixample neighborhood to the Sant Antoni area, dominated by the massive food market.
The big draw however, is the Sant Antoni market with its wrought iron façade and eclectic interior. Definitely worth visiting. The actual market is closed on Sundays, but the outside area transforms into an open-air book store
This is foodie heaven. When a foodie passes away, if they were very, very good in their past life, this is where they go. Cruix Restaurant specializes in tasting menus at reasonable prices, i.e.. about 50 euros per person. That’s unheard of!
I had the 11 course dinner with cava, the region’s fabulous sparkling wine. Eleven courses basically means 11 tiny, tasty tidbits of locally sourced tapas. Some examples include: Peking duck croquettes with savory herbs, Cuban steak tartar with deep-fried plantains and ceviche tacos with green tequila.
I read about this place in a post about the best rooftop bars in Europe and thought I should try it. Lovely view of Barcelona’s main square, Plaza Cataluña, with a rooftop pool.
This magnificent concert hall is the only structure of its kind to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. It was designed in the Catalan Art Nouveau style by architect Lluis Domenech and completed in 1908.
