If you want to have really nice ice cream very close to our flat, you can't miss Tutti Frutti. I personally recommend you try the 'leche merengada' and 'buenissimo' ice cream, but also try out the real 'leche merengada' - it's a sweet milk refreshment, or 'horchata' a traditional spanish drink made out of chufas.

Awesome place to have tapas and typical spanish food. I recommend the cod with allioli, the 'huevos cabreaos', ensalada de ventresca con tomate but over all, you can't miss the Torrija for dessert, one of the best torrijas in Spain.

This is the only pace in las Ramblas I would eat something. Here you can find one of the best 'Churros con Chocolate' in town, a very typical dish we eat in the afternoon usually or for breakfast. I always order a 'suizo' instead of regular chocolate, so it comes topped with whipped cream. Delicious!

This is a chain, so there are more than one honest greens in Barcelona. This is a great place to eat something a little bit healthier than the usual, but still delicious. Try to avoid peak hours for spaniards, since this is quite a popular spot, and the queue can be long. You have to first order your food, and then sit down, so a little bit like a fast food chain, just really nice. I recommend the spicy chicken or the beef option + the sweet potato side dish.

My absolute favourite place in Barcelona. It is a bit tricky to get here, but absolutely worth it. 3 ways to get here: either by car or taxi/cabify, or with the bus 22, or by metro until Carmel, however this includes a little longer walk. Google the place, it is breathtaking!

Old Market in el Born. The building doesn't look super appealing from the outside, but inside you can see one of the many ancient ruins from the old 'Barcino', and they also usually have some exhibitions of local artists in there. Entrance is free and it takes around 10-15 minutes to visit.

Spa and Relax
This is one of the best spas I have ever been to. It is a magical spot to relax, on your own, with a friend or your partner, it is definitely worth a visit. It is a bit pricey, but I would recommend you get a 30' massage with your ticket. If you are feeling fancy, you can also enjoy some more interesting options.

If you like hiking, this mountain has got beautiful scenery, and is in close proximity to Barcelona, around 30' car drive. If you don't want to hike, you can also park on top of the mountain, by the monastery, visit the 'Moreneta' our black virgin and enjoy the views from the top.

Do not eat at any restaurant in Las Ramblas.
You will get cheap quality food. They attract tourists with nice looking and big cocktails, however food is terrible and low quality. Avoid at any cost!

Sagrada Familia is worth it.
There is nothing like it. Ideally book your ticket online, it includes the Audio Guide which in my opinion is more than enough!

Book a Free Walking Tour
There are many free walking tours available in Barcelona. I personally recommend booking one for your first or second day in the city, that covers mainly the old town. It will give you a general impression of Barcelona, its history and heritage, and it's free! You can give the guide a tip, but this is up to you and if you liked their guided tour!
If you enjoy architecture, I also recommend taking a free Gaudi walking tour.
