Searching for a place to slow down and breathe in the bustling centre of Barcelona may be challenging, but Bar Cugat provides a solution: a timeless bar situated in Eixample, with an elegant yet low-key atmosphere. While originally stopping in for a quick coffee, we found ourselves returning an hour later for a wonderful dinner. The clean yet eclectic interior (with an Art Nouveau poster to boot) is a great place to dine, any day of the week. Recommendations: classic tapas + vermut.

Elegant, original and cozy restaurant bar near the church of Sant Pau del Camp. You can have a vermouth or a cocktail, as well as taste some of the dishes of their menu, all very careful and varied. If you want to be accompanied by the dog itself, this will be welcome.

This is the up & coming market of Barcelona. Happens every first weekend of each month. There are free concerts, food trucks and little designer shops.

One of my favorite buildings of the city

it is a cactus garden!
