Comments and reviews of Barcelona
I spent a whole day walking around, watching the people and Barcelona daily living. I liked the parks and all the green little places spread around the city. I visited some cult points (Las Ramblas, Sagrada familia, barrio gótico, etc), but what I liked the most was the special atmosphere Barcelona has. I don't know how to explain it, but I felt like in my place.
TRIP: Great sya in Barcelona, renting an apartment
Wow I did like Barcelona... You have everything you would need.. culture, nice food, nice weather, sports, beach .. I haven't seen anything similar in Europe.. This was my second time in Cataluña, the first time I was on a guided tour (no way I am going to do that anymore) and everything was schedule every second of your life . this time I went with three girlffirend , we rented an apartment for shorts stay (nice, cheap, central), we bought our food, we met our neighbors...Well we were a bit spanish for some day. Suggestions: go to Mercado Boqueria to get food, great quality and prices, for apartment rentals our experience was excellent with: www.pillowapartments.com; for a nice dinner go to the caracoles.. so spanish!!
I had forgotten how much I love architecture until I wandered the streets of Barcelona. Gaudi's influence is everywhere from his famous Sagrada Familia church to the sidewalks in the Eixample neighborhood.

Beautiful architecture. Favorite place by far was going to the top of a mountain to see Monserrat, the monastery.
