If you’re planning a trip to Barcelona, there are a few things you need to know (and do) before you ever set foot in the city. I’m sharing a list of my helpful tips below, and I hope they make it easier for you to plan your own trip to Barcelona. I fell in love with the city, and am already looking forward to my next trip back (though I have a few other...
Though I spent an entire week in Barcelona, it still wasn’t nearly enough time to do everything I wanted. A lot of people spend less time in the city (my parents were there for three days while on their Spain adventure), and I do recognize how much of a privilege it is to travel and see new places. It’s something that my grandmothers and my ancestors...
When in Spain, you should take advantage of the many museums in Barcelona, from art and history to chocolate. I love a good museum, and Barcelona has plenty. Many of these museums are conveniently located near each other in the El Born neighborhood or on Montjuïc, and several offer free admission on Sundays (either in the afternoon or on the first Sunday of every...
Whether you already know who he is or not, you can’t visit Barcelona without seeing some of Antoni Gaudí’s most brilliant architecture. Gaudí was a Spanish architect and designer from Catalonia, who combined his passions for architecture, nature, and religion into his work until his untimely death after being hit by a tram a century ago. He was even a...
This might be a ridiculous question, but the answer is: yes, Barcelona is vegan-friendly, and it’s more vegan-friendly than most cities. I noticed this immediately when I began doing my initial research for my trip to Barcelona with one of my best friends. We visited in November ’25and stayed in the city for about one week, which afforded us plenty of...
Would you believe me if I told you that I’m already planning my next trip to Barcelona? Believe it! I was in a vegan foodie’s paradise. According to HappyCow and their thousands of rankings on their app, Barcelona is the world’s fourth most vegan-friendly city, and it’s consistently ranked in the top ten (and for good reason). It’s also...
As you plan your trip to the beautiful city of Barcelona, you’ll conduct plenty of research on what to see and do while you’re there (and I have my versions coming soon!). But this blog post addresses what not to do instead. You’ll see a lot of advice (in good faith) from travel blogs and influencers, and while a lot of advice on this list (and...
No matter when you’re traveling to Barcelona, it’s never a bad time for ice cream. It’s the perfect way to wrap up a meal, or a place to stop on your walk back home for the night for a late-night sweet treat. Thankfully, Barcelona has a plethora of options, vegan or not. For the sake of this blog post, I’m limiting the options to places that...
If you’re planning a trip to Barcelona, you’re probably wondering how to navigate this beautiful city. One of my biggest anxieties before traveling anywhere is determining how I’m going to get from one place to the next. When I planned my New Zealand road trip with my cousin, we knew from the beginning that we would have to rent a car to drive...
Last month, a friend and I spent a week in Barcelona. It was my first time in Europe (other than a 48-hour layover in Paris when I was four years old), and I’m glad we chose Barcelona. We stayed in a cute apartment near Sant Pau, and mainly walked everywhere. Because of that, I had the chance to find so many vegan and vegan-friendly bakeries in the city...
