A Weekend in Barcelona
Barcelona has established a reputation as one of Europe’s premier city-break destinations, and it is easy to see why. With an artistic legacy the envy of cities the world over, glamorous boutique-lined avenues and an unrivalled culinary scene, the only problem is trying to fit it all into just one weekend. Nevertheless, there are a few must-see sights for any trip to the Catalan capital, along with a plethora of hidden gems off the beaten track. Below are a few personal favourites to help you get the most from a weekend one of Spain’s most rewarding cities.
No-one has done more to shape the international image of Barcelona than the Catalan architect, Antoni Gaudi. His most famous work is undoubtedly La Sagrada Familia, a magnificent church which towers above the surrounding landscape. Miniature models of this minor basilica adorn souvenir stalls city-wide, and this is representative of its popularity with tourists. It is worth noting that La Sagrada Familia is not yet complete, in spite of the fact that construction began in 1882. For an eternal monument to the Catalan artistic movement of Modernisme, look no further.
A stroll down the city’s most exclusive street, Passeig de Gracia, will reveal two more of Gaudi’s better known masterpieces. Departing from the Plaza de Catalunya end of the street, the first Gaudi you will encounter is Casa Batlló. The facade of Casa Batlló is hard to miss, as it seems to melt amongst the other, more traditional buildings. The entrance fee is steep, but worth it to see a truly unique interior. Inspired by nature, Gaudi set out to create a structure which contained no straight lines. This gives it a visceral impact that is sure to stay with you long after you leave. Further along the same street is La Pedrera (The Quarry). This stunning building has thankfully been restored to its original glory, and contains many of the religious symbols for which Gaudi is renowned.
Another feature which allows Barcelona to stand out from many major European cities is the fact that it has some attractive beaches. These beaches are also located close to the city centre, and were only opened in 1992, when the city hosted the Olympic Games. If you wish to avoid the more crowded areas, however, it is best to head to the beaches a little further from the centre. Each of Barcelona’s seven beaches is said to have a character of its own, so it may be best to try a few to see which best suits your mood.
For a refreshing late evening drink in Barcelona, you really are spoilt for choice. If you are still in the area around the beach, there are myriad seafront bars. These can be a little touristy and pricey, but nonetheless they do offer a spectacular panorama. For something a little more authentic, the Tres Flores bar in the Gótico area of the city is a good bet. There are also many great little bars in this area, so you can explore Barcelona’s historic old town afterwards.
While you are in Barcelona, you can use an Amex platinum credit card to collect membership rewards points for purchases you make abroad. Holders of platinum credit cards can then use these rewards points to take advantage of a wide range of travel and lifestyle benefits.
