Hiya. I've been in Barcelona for 12 years (in June).

A few faves that might not be on the tourist track.

* Gigi Von Tapas

* Elsa y Fred (need to book)

* My Fucking Restaurant in Raval (get the tasting menu, have drinks at Barcelo 360 first)

* Chirringuito Escriba

* a slice of cheesecake from Jon Cakes

* Go to Sitges for the day (or overnight) eat at Alfresco, La Cocina, or El Pou. Fragata is always nice as well, on the beach near the Church

* drinks / nibblies on the roof at Hotel Duquesa de Cardona Barcelona (just go up to the roof like you own the place)

* Caixa Forum usually has a good show

* DM me if you need anything

Such a great post! Have the best time ever in BarthelOnA! LOVE the suggestions below! I was just there for the Americas Cup but had the worst time ever because I was with someone who refused to partake in ANY adventures at all--museums, restos, you name it! Please, please, please enjoy it for me!!! xoxo

Well that is a bunch of baloney! Who needs that?! Barthalona has been super! It was supposed to rain a lot and hasn't at all. Lots of cute dogs and daughter has been fun and not sulky.

I really want to go to a flee market today. Anyone have any ideas? It's a Monday....Loving our hotel Casa Bonay...super comfy beds, lovely staff..central. Best roof terrace ever, but it's not open until May, sadly.
