Anyone been to Barcelona recently? Yes, I will be visiting Sagrada Familia and also might visit Camp Nou (a FC Barcelona fan here). Anything else should I consider? I am looking for things on Tripadvisor. I saw this thread and decided to ask here also. Any recommendations are welcome..
Sagrada Família is a must-see attraction in Barcelona, known for its unique architecture by Gaudi. Apart from this iconic site, Gaudi's other notable works like Casa Batlló, with its dragon-like scales, and La Pedrera, with its distinctive stone facade, are worth visiting. Additionally, lesser-known but equally beautiful buildings by Gaudi include Casa Vicens, Palau Güell, and Torre Bellesguard. When will you be traveling to Barcelona, @mhussy? I think your trip to Barcelona will not be complete without a soak on Barcelona’s city beaches that boast a 5km stretch of coastline.
@danyhearty Thanks for the information. Yes, I have pretty much sorted out my plans. Casa Batllo, Sagrada Familia, Barcelona Cathedral, Piccasso Museum, and Camp Nou I will be visiting. I read their official travel website: https://www.spain.info/en/destination/Barcelona/ and another article I found online: https://gowithguide.com/blog/tourism-in-spain-statistics-2024-your-in-depth-travel-guide-5686 These two articles pretty much sealed the deal for me. Also, the suggestion I got from an older comment in this thread.

I would check out eating at Bar Canete, Batea or Besta. All very highly recommended.

@mhussy - I don’t know the current status, but the Camp Nou is currently be rebuilt, and Barça are playing home games at a different stadium in the city. Might be worth checking what the tour will and will not currently involve.
@Nocturama I have checked their website, and they are still selling the tickets. I am assuming they are still doing the tour.

@ROman I love La Flauta! I think I ate at another location — there are two if I recall correctly. My girlfriend at the time and I just happened to stumble upon it, and the food was among the best we had on that trip (frankly I liked it as much as Tickets). I think we were the only tourists in there, great local spot. I wanna go back!

Oh and if you're still there, I highly recommend SlowMov coffee in the Gracia neighborhood (that's where I'd live in my fantasy Barcelona life).

@popvulture These pictures are from September. We took the Queen Elizabeth from Fort Lauderdale to Barcelona. Spent time in Barcelona and then went to Madrid. Of all places we ate in Spain, La Flauta was my favorite. And yes, there are 2 of them in Barcelona.. In the group pic, the 2 guys on the left live in Barcelona and highly recommended La Flauta. The guy on the far left played the piano on the Queen Elizabeth, and then stayed there on holiday.

@ROman I need to scheme some kind of way to live there. Goals.
