Hi All! I will have 3 full days in Barcelona after my cruise. I will be staying in the Gothic quarter. I would love to hear some thoughts on what to do? Places to eat? Random events to see? I will be there Nov. 17-19.

On Friday / Saturday evening in November you could see the Magic Fountains at Montjuic.

We like this area during the day too. Easy to reach via Metro. Walkable from the Espana station. The NMAC is lovely, great views for sunset and has a very nice restaurant.

 

Obviously you should see the work of Gaudi. Enjoy dusk in the gothic area which becomes very atmospheric as night falls and you enjoy Tapas.

 

Cava is the local sparkling wine - so give that a try.

 

Reserve your tickets for Parc Guell as entry is via timed tickets.

 

When the evening cools, churros with chocolate will be a welcome treat. My favourite place for churros was Fargas who has a few cafes. The hot chocolate is soooo thick and warming. If that is your thing, a chocolate tour?

Stroll on Las Ramblas, there are a few sights along there. You cannot skip Sagrada Familia, the symbol of the city.

 

Filling your time will be very easy.
