The Sagrada Familia is Barcelona's most recognizable symbol and Antoni Gaudí's masterpiece. The architect dedicated much of his life to this monumental project, so closely tied to his personal vision that he even lived in a studio within the complex itself. Although it remained unfinished at his death, the basilica continues to grow and fascinate millions of visitors each year.

Barcelona's gastronomy is as diverse as its neighborhoods. A very popular trend is pintxos—the Basque version of tapas. A top spot to try them is Euskal Etxea, known for its Serrano ham empanadas, tempura chicken pintxos with saffron mayonnaise, melted provolone cheese with mango and ham, and mini pork skewers. But the city offers many other interesting places to discover.
Weekends are perfect for enjoying the tradition of homemade vermouth, with recommended bars like Bar Calders, La Pepita, or Electricitat, where you can savor this local custom in an authentic atmosphere.
