What do you do when you have, one very tiring day (because you just flew in that day), two full days, and one get up get repacked and leave day. Not a lot when you're in the City of Barcelona, Spain. I've been googling, You tubing, and trip advisoring my way through the best things to do in Barcelona. Here are some of the things I've been told are the must sees in this beautiful city.
Sagrada Famila - the church of La Sagrada Familia started in 1882 and still not finished. It started being built in the traditional manner and then Gaudi took over and put his own very unique stamp on it. You can get advanced tickets
here.
Park Guell - another architectural masterpiece of Gaudi. Just a side note, while I was researching it said you needed permission to take pictures inside the park. I thought that was crazy!! So I emailed them and yup... I have to fill out a form and leave it at the front desk when I enter. Park Guell is a public park and it looks so fantastic. I can't wait to photograph it. You can get advanced tickets
here. But I do have to say that when you get tickets you have about a 1/2 hour to arrive at your appointed time or you will loose you spot.
Gothic Quarter (Barrie Gotic) I'm thinking that we may want to do a walking tour because I've heard it is super easy to get lost. I love getting lost but come on... I only have two whole days!!! My research tells me of lots of shops and little eating places are tucked away in there. The walking tour is free (tipped based) and Trip Advisor tells me that you start at the
Travel Bar .

Montjuic Castle This is on the short list for sure! I wanted to also see the magic fountains at night but they only play on Thursday-Friday and Saturday night. The same days we will NOT be in Barcelona. So I'm including a youtube of the show and I will just have to pretend we were there.
