Fira de Santa Lucia
Me encanta Navidad!! Christmas is the best, I love the decorations, the festive atmosphere, the excuse to warm up with mulled wine, and how everything seems a lot more cheerful (dreading the cold days of January and February without the festivities to keep me in a good mood…) And one of the best things about…

Navidad
It really is the most wonderful time of the year… Although it means things are colder, darker, and as a masters student I have lots of deadlines that I may/may not currently be procrastinating from, the festive spirit that sweeps through cities helps us all get through any holiday stress.

Barcelona Cathedral and Basilica de Santa Maria
Whilst La Sagrada Familia is such an internationally recognisable landmark – it might be easy to overlook the Neo Gothic Cathedral residing in the old town in Barcelona. It is also a must see attraction, with free entry! I adored the architectural design of the outside and of the interior. Here lies the tomb of Saint…

Magic Fountain of Montjuïc
On Fridays and Saturday evenings, outside the National Art Gallery the fountain provides a show of colour and song every half an hour. Many people gather to watch the spectacle, and I had good fun trying to get some magical shots on my camera! I think the first and last are my favourite!

Palau de la Música Catalana
This beautiful music hall is lesser known than the architectural works of Gaudi, but was one of my favourite things I saw on my trip! Designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner in the famous Catalan modernism style, it was commissioned by the Orfeo Catala choir, who hold importance in Catalan culture for their music. Nowadays…

La Boqueria Market
A famous street in Barcelona is La Rambla- full of shops, tourists and pickpockets. However to the side of it is also La Boqueria market: a food market that sells delicious, quality goods (for a hefty price!). Despite the crowds it is definitely worth navigating your way around, even if it is just to look…
