✈️ Flight into Josep Tarradellas Airport - we arrived mid afternoon from the UK. After a short bus to the terminal, we had around a 30 minute wait to clear immigration 👮♂️. However our luggage was ready to collect as soon as we cleared immigration. Transfer to the city centre (Aerobus 🚐) We decided to travel using the Aerobus. The stop was right outside the terminal and was easy to find. The buses are really frequent (every 10 minutes or so) and there is plenty os seats and space for luggage. We bought our tickets online in advance and showed the QR code to the driver on a mobile phone. You can also pay using cash. What to do? We spent 5 nights in Barcelona and managed to make a good use of our time getting a mix of a city break, beach and good food & wine. 1. Park Guell - this was a really good day out and we spent a couple of hours walking around taking in the scenery. Some of the phots are in this post. You also get god views across the city. 2. Palau de la musica catalana - this is basically a concert hall with nice architecture. It didnt really live up to expectations and we felt it was a waste of money. 3. Balloon museum - I know it doesnt sound like a typical thing to do in Barcelona. But it was such great fun. There are lots of different balloon exhibits including a giant ball pit which was great fun with the kids (teenagers loved it). 4. Poble Espanyol - this was a bit different. There are different streets and zones to the attraction that take you through different regions of Spain. We enjoyed it and the place is full of little shops where you can pick up interesting things. Well worth a visit. Beach visit 🏖️ If you dont like really busy beaches then dont go to the main beach in Barcelona. It is not a great beach anyway and it is overcrowded. I also spoke to a couple of tourists who had their bags stolen on the beach. Instead we went to Sitges. We got a train from Barcelona and it took about 40 minutes to get to Sitges. It is a really nice coastal town and a lot less busy than Barcelona. There are several beaches and none were overcrowded. You are able to hire sun beds and loungers and you can even pay on a card. Places to eat and drink This is a tough one because everyone has different tastes. There are so many restaurants and bars selling tapas that it is really easy to find somewhere decent to eat. I will however call out my favourite restaurant and favourite bar. 🍽️ - El Mercat - we had amazing food in here. Lots of choice on the menu. And it is so reasonably priced too. 🥃- La Whiskeria - this is a whiskey drinkers dream. So many choices on offer. Make some time talking to the staff - they will give you a tour of the place and explain about all the different whiskeys that they have.

#MayTravelSupportEvent When I first went in, it looked a little shabby(?).. It was like a small town concept park for the elderly, but the free art museum and the short video of Spanish history were really great. There are also small restaurants and cafes inside, so it's a good place to take a break. There are also many shops, but I also got a pretty bracelet from an old store that I couldn't find anywhere else.

How about if you could visit all of Spain in only 1 day? That’s exactly what you can do at Poble Español! A small theme park type of village sitting at the side on the Montjuic mountain, in Barcelona. In Poble Español the different architecture style of various areas in Spain are showcased next to each other. Here you can experience from a typical Andalusian patio to the mountain-style religious constructions of the Pyrenees mountains. And despite it being located in such a tourist-ridden city, the place still offers a great deal of quiet and calm moments to relax while enjoying some of Spain historical sites. #timetotravel

This time, I will introduce "Mura España" in Barcelona, ​​Spain. You might be thinking "Why go all the way to Spain to see a village like that?", but when you actually go there, you can enjoy Spain in a short time, with distinctive buildings from all over Spain reproduced and authentic flamenco performances. There are also buildings from the famous white villages in the south. There are also small castles, churches, art museums, and more, and from the castle on the hill you can see the whole city of Barcelona. There were a lot of cats, so we took a commemorative photo♪ We made a reservation in advance for the flamenco in Japan. For meals, you can choose to have just drinks, tapas dishes, or a course meal, but we went for tapas. Tapas are small dishes that you can easily pick up. (Even though they are small dishes, the portions are so large that we couldn't finish them all.) Drinks were also included, so we had sangria. The sangria was given to me in a large bottle, so I couldn't finish it all (^^; The flamenco was much more impressive than I expected, and the movements of the old ladies were very sharp and cool.
