Barcelona day 2 walking tour

Joanne and I began our day with a walk along La Rambla, soaking up the energy of Barcelona’s most iconic boulevard. Not much happening at this time of the morning but we did ducked into the colourful Boqueria Market for a quick look (and a tempting snack). From there, we made our way into the Gothic Quarter, wandering through narrow, stone-lined laneways full of history and character.

We soon reached the Barcelona Cathedral—an awe-inspiring Gothic masterpiece—where we admired its intricate facade and peaceful courtyard. After a short coffee break nearby, we grabbed a taxi to our first Gaudí stop: the spectacular Sagrada Família. Its soaring spires and detailed carvings were even more impressive in person.

Next, we headed to Park Güell, where we wandered among playful mosaic benches, colourful columns, and panoramic city views. To cap off the day, we visited Gaudí’s incredible city houses—Casa Batlló and Casa Milà—where his imagination truly ran wild. It was a day full of wonder, walking, and unforgettable architecture.Read more
