The most pressing problem with Barcelona is that we don’t live there. Like any place you love, there’s a list of spots you must visit anytime you’re in town. With each visit, this list gets longer & subsequently requires more & more time in Barcelona. Below is the “Must” list. Which could be interpreted as the “Why we Must move to Barcelona list.”
1. We must practice our rudimentary Spanish. Because “Donde esta la biblioteca?” never gets old.
2. We must visit a Gaudi masterpiece (even if it’s a return trip to La Sagrada Familia).
Gaudi is still at work from beyond the grave to complete La Sagrada. But as he said, “My client is not in a hurry.”
3. We must have lunch (multiple times their menu changes weekly) at Teresa Carles. This is a new addition. Before finding Teresa, we had lunchtime free for wander and discovery.
4. We must have dinner (multiple times the pork ribs are phenomenal) at Tapeo. Definitely in the top 10 restaurants I’ve ever been to list.
The whole menu is worth it….but there’s something about the way the chef does eggs. And they’re surprisingly good with sangria.
5. We must find funky, interesting night life. Flamenco used to be on the list, but we accepted that we don’t really appreciate flamenco dancing enough so that frees us to dive into other performances, music, people watching places.
Tap dancing, acordian playing, beat boxing, acapella singing duo at a hole in the wall bar.
6. We must go to the beach. Our current home is landlocked. There is a lake but if you’re used to the ocean, well then you know this is just not the same.
Nightlife & beach walking can be combined. The W draws a particularly fashionable form of human.
7. We must spend hours wandering around Born wishing we weren’t tourists.
No one seems to enforce this sign but maybe that’s because we blend…
