My favorite cultural attractions in BCN

The Palau de la Música Catalana is an architectural jewel of Catalan Art Nouveau, the only concert venue in this style listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and an essential landmark in the cultural life of Catalonia. Plenty of guided tours available: https://www.palaumusica.cat/en/all-guided-tours_531011

This neighborhood restaurant offers a delicious range of Greek dishes in a beautiful setting decorated with poems by Kavafis. Don't miss their zucchini balls. It gets pretty busy on Saturdays, so you better make a reservation at 930 11 86 05 http://www.elmagranerboig.com/en/
