#3 Horta Labyrinth Park

Barcelona boasts an incredible number of parks and the Parc del Laberint d’Horta is one of its most exquisite, and lucky for you it is just outside of the tourist reach. Just 30 minutes from the city center by metro and you will find yourself in the city’s oldest romantic garden. This park is fun for kids and adults alike, as wandering through the giant cypress maze will keep anyone entertained.

#4 Tapas on Carrer Blai

Although I won’t say that these tapas bars are a secret, I will say that they are worth finding. It is so easy to spend the majority of your money on food when you travel, so I share with you the 1€ tapas Mecca on Carrer Blai in the Poble Sec neighborhood. This is a pedestrian only street lined with bars and cafés, and here you’ll find all you favorite tapas with all the right prices. Not to be missed for those who are watching their wallets while in Barcelona.
