We stayed in Barcelona for a month this past April/May (1 week in Barceloneta and 3 weeks in Gracia) and tried to walk in as many different neighborhoods as we could. Our local market was Abaceria and we had both a butcher and fishmonger on our block. We hung our wash outside our windows. We were within blocks of the Sagrada but the neighborhood was quiet with great parks and restaurants. A highlight was going to see the castellers make their human towers. And, yes, we drank a lot of cava!

The truth is that you simply shouldn't go to a restaurant located in Ramblas, Paseo de Gracia, or Rambla Cataluña and adjacent streets, but as an over-the-thumb rule, never ever go to a restaurant that has pictures of the dishes hanging outside or a guy/girl standing outside asking you to go in. You'll get overpriced sh*t inside. Another (sad) truth is that we locals avoid Barcelona as if it were the black pest, unless you are stuck living there. Middle-class Barcelonians tend to live outside the city, many in Maresme County, some 20 Km north, and only go to the city for work or dinner at a good restaurant. Speaking of restaurants, here is my selection as a local food hedonist: - Terraza Martínez: best paella-style rice of the city. - Sagardi Argenteria: best Basque food, "txuletón" t-bone included. - Shanghai: best Chinese food (actually a fusion of Basque and Chinese). - Bar Cañete & Paco Meralgo: best tapas in town (even though tapas are not typical from Catalonia, just recently included in the city's gastronomical offer due to the people asking for it).

Speak for your personal feeling and opinion, it is not the same as that of all Barcelonans. I agree that you should not eat in restaurants on Las Ramblas or those where there are photos of the dishes, they are tourist traps, but on La Rambla de Cataluña (not to be confused with Las Ramblas) or on Paseo de Gracia there are very good restaurants.

Fellow Catalan here! My parents lived in bcn when they were younger and settled down further south in the coast, Sitges and Vilanova if anyone is interested. As a student here we go to Barcelona city for special occasions like Sant Jordi or other traditions. A lot of students go on the train everyday to university also but we maintain our local traditions from our “village” since it changes a bit and we have different sayings and preconceptions. Love my culture, proud to be from here :)

I'm from Manhattan NYC (not Manhattan, Florida) and was just in Barcelona in April '24 and the crowds were breathtaking. It was like full on Times Square - when it's going full blast all over place. Beautiful city and great people! - just know it will be filled to the brim with people. Europe and everywhere else is crowded with other tourists at least great cities like Barcelona are - I just wasn't expecting NYC to seem mellower than Spain. That was a shocker. Maybe I'll try again off off season like December! Just keeping it real on the streets people!

Aun asi es derivado del frances😅 . Phonetically and grammatically, many words derived from french and kept evolving, such as merci. Which youre right. Comes from mercès. But even the way of writting it is wicked french. I guess you could say, socially it derives from french. But its evolution is very much Catalan. Dont be surprised or defensive, catalan is a romance language too and it has a heavy french and italian influence as well. Also, very close to Latin (compared to the other romances) El catalan esta bien rico en mezclas y es increiblemente interesante

Totally agree about visiting the neighbourhood markets. I'd also recommend the Hola Barcelona ticket as it includes the metro to and from the airport, and unlimited public transport. The cost of the airport bus is around 10 euro return, so the cost of Hola Barcelona is worthwhile if you're going to use the metro or buses a few times.

Timing is everything. First time visit was Oct 2023 for last stop on ocean cruise. Us (900 passengers) and five other cruise ships had same idea. I figure just from the cruise ships we added 20K in population to city that day. Plus Spain was on four day Columbus Day holiday so lots of residents in town. Much too crowded. Next time was first stop on another ocean cruise (Apr 2024) the low season as some say. Still crowded. When went our own way and missed much of crowds. We used suggestions from travel writer consultant Rick Steves. Word of warning; America's Cup yacht race is scheduled for Aug-Oct 2024 which will bring crowds.

Poble Nou, for the amazing cemetery and the many vermut bars on the main rambla. Sarrìa for beautiful apartments and 19th century buildings. If using the suburban trains (Renfe only) buy an Abono Recurrente for a deposit of 10e, then the travel is free on the 6 lines of Rodalies. The ticket is valid for a quarter but if only staying a week it will pay, if you use it. You can get almost to France on this ticket with the last few kilometres being charged, very little and often not at all. Using the ticket, and one or two euros more, you can get to La Tour de Carol where there are connections to Toulouse and a sleeper train to Paris.

10:30 Tripes are fine food, and very common in France, but seldom served in restaurants. They are bought ready-made; you just heat them until the jelly has turned into a sauce. They are generally served with a boiled or steamed potato. My favorite variety is _tripes à la mode de Caen_.

The Philippines, as a former colony of Spain, have a cuisine that is Spanish-influenced. One of the dishes we also enjoy is Callos, shown in this video. We spell tripe in Filipino as ‘tuwalya’ (towel) or ‘toalla’ (Spanish). But we enjoy it during special occasions only. We also use tripe in Chinese-influenced dishes such as rice porridge dishes we call ‘goto’ (perhaps Chinese term?), bec the beef tripe is the main ingredient. Its good for an all-day breakfast and for rainy days.

I visited the Sagrada Familia in 1985, there were just a handful of workmen on the site and i was allowed to wander freely throughout the still uncompleted structure and even managed to climb one of the towers until i almost reached the top and had a vertigo inducing episode. I recall chatting with the construction workers who told me jokingly that at the rate they were working the cathedral would not be finished for another 500 years. There were no visitors at all except me. I was glad i saw this amazing piece of architecture before it became a tourist trap attraction. People forget that this building was built as a place of worship but it appears that the original and intended purpose at present is to make money at any cost.

It has really been many years since you visited the Sagrada Familia and it has changed a lot. Your assessment that the current objective of the Sagrada Familia is to make money is not correct. Precisely, the Sagrada Familia has grown so much in recent years thanks to the amount of tickets paid by its visitors. This money is used exclusively for the construction of the building as it is only financed by tickets and private donations. He does not receive a single euro from any institution or from the Spanish State.

1) My main tip for all would be to avoid Las Ramblas like the plague. 2) Try stepping off the main tourist streets, and go even one or two streets paralell either side. You'd be amazed at what you'll find. Quieter, no tourist premium, no one trying to sell you stuff. Seriously, sometimes a paralel street is all it takes. 3) Try some of the further flung neighbourhoods. Sants, Clot, La Sagrera, Sant Andreu, Horta, are all nice barrios with their own identities and own charms, and many tourists don't go anywhere near them. The Barcelona metro makes it easy and cheap to get anywhere (you'll almost never spend more than 20 minutes on the train). And they can be just as lively as the centre if you get them at the right time of day. 4) Don't try to do too much. Really the best thing about Barcelona, and really any Spanish city, is wandering around, eating, drinking, people watching, and taking in the vibe. There are some cool tourist sites in Barcelona, but don't chase them around at the expense of enjoying yourself. If you find yourself in a barrio you really like, stay there and soak it up! No need to rush off to the next tourist site. 5) Don't let anyone scare you away from going to El Raval. There are some (often richer) locals who are genuinely scared to step foot there and will tell you it's as dangerous as Caracas. It's absolute nonsense, so ignore it. As with anywhere else, watch your stuff, and if you're alone at night, stick to the busier streets. But otherwise, it's an excellent barrio, lots of excellent Middle Eastern and South Asian food, and some of the best late-night bars and clubs in the city.

Very interesting. Thank you. We plan to be in Barcelona in April 2024 could you please address the crime? Also, no tripe, but could you discuss the ordering of coffees - expresso or latte, what time of the day? Hours that restaurants open? Like in France from 11:30 to 2 PM and 7 PM for the night? also delicious desserts and wine. Cava is it like prosecco?
@kojisan1
@kojisan1 6 ай бұрын
Crime: Pickpocketing mostly in the touristy areas. Other than that, you'll be safe. Coffee: You'll find a lot of coffee shops that are open throughout the day. Coffee isn't great here, but it's pretty decent. Restaurant hours: Lunch: 12:30 PM to 3PM Dinner: 8 PM to 10 PM. Touristy places are usually open earlier. Deserts: The most traditional are Crema catalana (creme brulee), mel i mató, bunyols, coca / coca de llardons / coca de vidre. Cava is literally champange, and we traditionally have it for desert. Wines: Too many to recommend. Just ask the waiter, but I'd recommend a local red wine. Also, try our Vermouth.

Great video, what I would be interested in is the weekly shopping of Tara. What does her weekly shopping and menu for the family look like.

How can use those family tickets in the metro? One person goes through and passes back the ticket for next? Is this going to be one ride out of eight?

"Merci" comes from "mercès", another form to say thank you, like in Spanish, "mercedes". Evidently, there is a relationship with French since all of them are romance languages. It is like "ta" in the UK.

Hello new subsciber here ,Is there a way you can vlog about where’s public bathrooms incase people need to use it,so that we have an idea.

It’s a really big city so without knowing where you will be using them, I can tell you that the beachfront has plenty of bathrooms every 200-300m. They are next to the bars where the promenade is at the same level as the sand, and underneath the promenade where it is above the beach. In Plaça Catalunya there are public bathrooms next to the tourist office which is underneath the square next to Portal de l’Angel and the El Corte Inglés department store. You can also find bathrooms inside this store at every other level. Generally speaking, the main train stations will also have bathrooms, and public buildings such as council buildings (ajuntament) or libraries (biblioteca). And of course restaurants and bars, although it is courteous to buy something as these are mainly for customers. So you could stop for a coffee or cold drink and use the bathroom in a pinch.

Hola ! Nice Video. If you don't want to spend lots of time in learning language then it is best way to learn some most useful phrase. and that too for some most repetitive conditions. Like in Medical condition what to say.. In Airport what to say...in Restaurant...etc. Here there is a book which have such most frequently used phrases in Portuguese, German, Spanish, Italian and French. Go for it. “START SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGES: TRAVEL GUIDE FOR CONVERSING IN EUROPEAN LANGUAGES.” this book will definitely help to use European language without learning it.

Great to see you and Patrick together, magic! It was funny to see you trying to access the metro. It was just what happened to us a couple of times. We’re just back after a week and walked nearly 80 km. Hot 🦶🏻 but happy. Taking tips and information from you both really enhanced our trip. Saw our apartment rooftop terrace from the drone shot at Sagrada Familia. Loved Abecederia Market at the top of Passeig de Sant Joan.

I got taken by a taxi driver in Barcelona. A ride to airport that should've cost around €35, cost me €50!!! 1- if you are from US or any other well to do country, don't tell the taxi driver. If you're from US and tell them, they will try their best to screw you. Unfortunately, I told him we are from the US when he asked!! He acted as a sweet old Pakistani man...that is how they get you!! 2- Before the ride starts, get the direction queued on your phone's map and show the driver that you have the direction. He will less likely drive you in circles to add to the fair. I did it once I realized he was going in the opposite direction!!! He is the fourth taxi driver I've screamed at internationally and threw the money at him. Don't let them get away with it completely. Yes, you'll have to pay and wait till you get to your destination first.

I’m going to Barcelona in April but I’m afraid to take the metro since I got pocketing in Greece, specially from the airport to my airbnb. Are they Uber in Barcelona?
@wavyjenny602
@wavyjenny602 3 ай бұрын
Yes there are Uber taxis, as well as Cabify and normal official taxis which are black and yellow. You will find a taxi rank with hundreds of taxis just outside the airport terminal so you don’t need to book an Uber. You can also get to the city centre by the blue airport bus (aerobús) or train or metro, depending on which terminal you arrive at its very easy. The metro is no worse than any major city such as London, Madrid or Paris, but in high tourist season you should be aware of your surroundings and keep your belongings close to you. You can also get around easily by bus. The TMB app is good for giving you public transport combinations and maps so you can see how to get from the bus stop or metro to your destination.

Our Splurge restaurant was an incredible spot: Restaurant Prodigi The very first place we ate upon arriving was Casa Amalia and lemme just say that was also incredible but we had just arrived, showered and were a bit exhausted and were adjusting to being there still so we were probably a lot but that was also wonderful and great way to start our trip.

Visited la Sagrada Familia hace Mas de 20 years ago. It is really more impressive in person, but would never do it again, especially not in high tourist season.
