The Revolution of Senses – Barcelona

Among so many travellers, colours, faces, sounds, dialects and tastes, you would think it’s almost impossible to reach the very soul of Barcelona city. But soon enough you’ll start vibrating in a city that never sleeps, a city always changing, a city of modernism – the exuberant Barcelona. It will be you having your morning coffee with churros ( a traditional pastry) at a sunny terrace on Passeig de Gracia, it will be you feeling like Alice in Wonderland in the maze of the mythical Parc Guell, it will be you, chic and trendy, shopping among the hustle and bustle of Ramblas Barcelona, it will be you uncovering every cobblestone of the old Barri Gothic quarter, and you again, fascinated, in front of an original masterpiece in the Picasso Museum. You’ll feel happy like a child riding your bicycle and discovering one by one, real and shining in the sun, the images you dreamed about in front of your laptop – the huge sand castle of Sagrada Familia Cathedral, the cutting-edge modernism of Torre Agbar, or the mottled promenade of the famous Barcelona beach of Barcelonetta. And when the night comes over the city, it’s really you chilling with a drink and tapas in one of Port Vell acclaimed restaurants along a palm-fringed esplanade.

It doesn’t really matter where you choose to book your accommodation – Barcelona hotels always have something special, either it’s the modern style, either the view to a seaside promenade, or just the fact that simply brings you closer to Barcelona real life that you’ll thought you’ll ever be. You can taste authentic tapas mingling with the locals in one of Barcelona restaurants just next door of a suburb hotel, or you can splurge and indulge in the seafront newly opened W Barcelona. Between these there are hotels, hostels and apartments to meet every dream of your Barcelona travel.

From art exhibitions to clubbing sessions, from popular street parties to electrical flamenco shows in an unknown basement of Placa Reial, when it comes about going out, there are tens of Barcelona events going on every day and night. And if you scheduled your holiday in early autumn, you’ll land right in the middle of the most colourful of Barcelona events – the explosive September Festes de la Merce – a plethora of art, dance, music and lights, the main celebration of the city of Barcelona.

Thousands of Barcelona travel facets, the tapas flavour, the cava burst, soul rhythms in openair clubs, the smell of the sea… Barcelona is consumed in an effervescent present, and reborn every day with the sunrise over the sailing vessels in Port Vell.
