Party in Barcelona!

If you’re looking for a wild party city, Barcelona takes some beating! In Europe, there are a number of top cities for celebrating a big birthday or a hen or stag do. Many prefer the steamy canal ridden atmosphere of Amsterdam
others love the crazy bar and club scene of our very own party capital of the UK, Newcastle upon Tyne, but arguably the absolute best European city for celebrating a special event is the Catalan city of Barcelona.
It is due largely to the low cost airlines like easyjet that a weekend in Barcelona doesn’t need to break the bank! Of course, if it was a few degrees warmer, the English resorts may give the Med a run for its money!!
While the nightlife of the Catalan capital takes some beating, in our opinion sometimes you can’t beat the intimacy of a home party gathering that includes all your friends and family. Throw a photo booth into the mix and a DJ, some tasty snacks and a bar and there’s no place like home for the best party!
A world-class city it is but do they ‘do’ photo booths in Barcelona like us Brits?

The heart of the museum was the building that housed the town's theatre when Dalí was a child. museum of the artist Salvador Dalí in his home town of Figueres, in Catalonia.

My favourite and most memorable experience of Barcelona was obtained during my visit to one of Spain’s many UNESCO World heritage sites. The most famous of all the tourist attractions in Barcelona, in my opinion, is the Sagrada Familia. Worked upon by the sensational modernist architect, Antoni Gaudi in 1883 till his death in 1926, the building is still to be completed.

One of the most photographed buildings you could possibly find in Barcelona is that of Casa Batllo, also known as the ‘House of Yawns’.

Parc Guell enjoys a hill top location, a fact I remember all too well as it took a toll on my thighs! What you see first is the mosaic fashioned dragon or lizard water feature (everybody posing round it for photographs) I wondered at the time, if it was some sort of a good luck charm, so I stroked its head to be on the safe side!

Casa Mila otherwise known as La Pedrera, took my breath away and holds one of the strongest memories for me of this amazing city! This astounding building is found in the smart Eixample region of Barcelona at 92 Passeig de Gracia. Designed and built by Antoni Gaudi in 1912, Casa Mila was a private address commission and a main player in the Gaudi UNESCO World Heritage site collection.

The Palau de la Musica Catalana is another breathtaking example of modernist architecture in Barcelona but (Shock! Horror!) it is not by Antoni Gaudi.

Only when you delve deep into Barcelona’s dark but atmospheric Barri Gotic district, can the mysterious Picasso Museum be revealed.

Situated within the magnificent setting of the Palau Nacional and the Placa d’Espanya where in 1929 the World Fair was held, this is one building you cannot fail to miss! Always of a grandeur appearance, the district received a face-lift in time for the 1992 Olympics.

Las Ramblas is one of my favourite haunts in Barcelona because there is nowhere like it!

Barcelona is a city swelling with surprises and treats! The labyrinthine Barri Gotic is made up of a series of clusters of medieval narrow streets, many of which when followed reveal hidden squares and places of beauty. The majestic Barcelona Cathedral is one such surprise as is the atmospheric Placa Reial.
