The street offers pintxo restaurants in all the street. You will surely eat standing up, but that is the spanish way! Each tapa can be around 1-3 euros so you can try a pintxo per bar. This location is my preferred.

Personal favourite for it's great food and classic style. Can be a bit expensive but it's really worth it. From the bar you can see how they cook your food and you just can't say no if you come in. Also it's decoration is really special.

Classic bar with all waiters with uniform. If you have time and are around I really recommend eating the "Solomillo con foie con cebolla caramelizada". Jesus it's sooo good! Can be expensive but it's a must try!

Parks & Nature
From this park you have stunning views of Barcelona, it can be veeery touristy so it may be a bit packed but normally everybody goes to the same spot. You have many great spots which are not in the classical tour path which are awesome.

Many tourists never come to this park. Known for it's labyrinth, but it offers a great park in it's surrounding. It also has very good illumination for the night, perfect for a change and very relaxing.

Small but cosy park, especially on sundays as there is a constant "batucada". African drums are constantly played and all Barcelona people who do some scenic art form comes to the park to practice and enjoy green grass in the city.

Nice mountain to have some great views. Very easy to go up using public buses or if you wish using the cableway's. Nice to walk and to see Barcelona from a special point of view. It's also interesting that here the olympics were held. I like especially to see the swimming pool they used, stunning views!

Drinks & Nightlife
Personal favourite as I love the exterior bar, you can have a drink in the street as the bar is looking towards the street. They also have good sandwiches and nice terraces.

Essentials
Nothing special, but it's the closest supermarket from home. It's also pretty big, something rare to find in the city center.

If you go through the main entrance you will go with the waterfall of tourists, but if you manage to not get irritated by the amount of people you can find great food. I always buy my fresh fish in this market, good quality!

Sightseeing
The most beautiful views of Barcelona. You must do a small walk upwards the mountain to arrive to the old civil war bunkers. There is some interest for it's historic meaning, but honestly the views are THE thing. I would advice to go during sunset and stay there until late. People stay there, sometimes with a guitar and you can relax watching the city as in the Hollywood films.
