2) Three places not to miss in Barcelona
At first sight it looks more like a warehouse. But actually this is the best place to eat tapas in Barcelona. You have to eat standing up, and there is no menu available. The fact that it is always crowded is a proof of its success.
In the midst of Poble Sec, near the Quimet & Quimet. A small street that cannot be found on many tourist routes but is full of beautiful corners. Cesk Freixas, the singer has dedicated a lovely song to this street, when he sings it is the Rambla … of Poble Sec
It is excessive, unreasonable and hallucinogenic. But with time it actually become very appealing! How did it occur to anyone to place such a huge suppository in Glorias? Every New Years Eve it changes its colours, which is amazing!
3) Your secret corner
The German Pavilion in Barcelona
Although situated next to the crowded Montjuïc Fountains nobody remembers this building, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe to be the National German pavilion for the Barcelona International Exhibition in 1929.
