Spanish architecture is evident all over this area; vibrant colors and iron trellises.

Barcelona’s answer to Paris’s Sacre Coeur, the Sagrat Cor. It sits at the top of Mount Tibidabo and is surrounded by a fun park. We took a funicular to get there.

Carrer de Ferran connects Barri Gotic to Placa Reial. Great place to shop and eat.
In Placa Reial, vendors offered all manner of collector’s items such as bottlecaps and baseball cards.
