Barcelona is awesome, we loved it! And we especially loved the rooftop bars!
Our personal Top 5 of roof top bars:
Here are the the roof top bars we tried. Our goal was: 1 a day! Mission accomplished!
Number 1: Hotel 1898
Great view of the Cathedral and open all day.
Number 2: Hotel Majestic
Directly off Passeig de Gracia, great view of the ocean and Casa Batllo. Open all day.
Number 3: Hotel Barcelo Raval
360 degree view of the whole of Barcelona, definitely the one with the best view (and full of Swedes ;)). A must-do for sundowner. Open from 6pm.
Number 4: Hotel Condes
Great tapas and view of the chimneys at La Pedrera. Open all day.
Number 5: Ayre Hotel Rosselon
Amazing view of Sagrada Familia, especially at night. It looks like a funky space ship. Open from 6pm.
Best Tapas:
The best tapas we had was at Mercado Catarina in Bari Gothic, in the restaurant to the right outside, on Avinguda de Francesc Combo. Awesome. The market is great too, bought a whole Chorizo to bring back.
Best Pintxos:
Our Airbnb guy recommended Poble Sec and the Carre De Blai for Pintxos. We had breakfast there (with pintxos) but didnt manage to get back at night, unfortunately.
Best Restaurant
Tantarantana. Yummy just yummy.
Best Quarter:
El Bari. No question about it.
