1. Visit Gaudí’s Masterpieces

It’s Sunday morning so why not start the day off by visiting some of the many architectural masterpieces designed by Antoni Gaudí. Tourists should start with the visit to the church of the Sagrada Família, which Gaudí was designing up to the last year of his life. Admire such facts as carvings and stained glass windows.

Then it’s time to visit Park Güell, one of the most emblematic places in Barcelona appointed as a World Heritage Site in 1984 offering amazing views of the city combined with colorful mosaics. Relax in the park and show those exercise walking sessions taking photo shots.

If you have spare time, I recommend you to take a visit to Casa Batlló and Casa Milà which are two other amazing Gaudí building.

2. Explore the Gothic Quarter

Take the time to stroll along the Barri Gòtic of labyrinthine medieval alleyways and get a feel of history. Go with Gothic style, see the Barcelona Cathedral Ukrainian Orthodox, travel through its narrow streets and purchase items in its small alley stores and cafes.

By the way, it’s a perfect time to visit the splendid Picasso Museum, which is situated in the Gothic area. It possesses an impressive collection of Picasso’s art work and includes works that exemplify his early life.

3. Relax at the Beach

Just along the coastline, tourists can find that Barcelona is well endowed with some of the best beaches they can imagine. Enjoy the sun and the fresh sea air perhaps on a Sunday afternoon at the beach of the Mediterranean.

Barceloneta Beach is one of the seven city’s beaches that is located close to the city center. Why not have a walk on the promenade, savour a sumptuous seafood meal on the beach or just relax on the sunshine kissed beaches?

4. Visit Montjuïc

Visit Montjuïc hill that is located above Barcelona in order to have a great view and have a look at some of some sights. You should get started with the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc which gives out a very beautiful spectacle involving water and light. People can compare the schedule beforehand to be in a position to witness the stunning shows.

Subsequently, the Montjuïc Castle, an extinct military defense structure is another interesting place to go. Go there on a guided tour to understand about its history and marvel at the panoramic view of Barcelona city.

5. Indulge in Catalan Cuisine

Of course no one should leave Barcelona without a taste of the scrumptious Catalan cooking. What many homegrown eating places do is they open their doors to locals on lunchtime Sunday and set what is called the “menú del día”, or in English, the meal of the day, where customers get various courses of dishes for surprisingly little price.

It is recommended to taste typical Spanish cuisine which is paella, tapas, and crema catalana. Move slightly off the beaten path and discover local restaurants with tasty genuine Catalan food.
