BARCELONA | MAY 2015

BACK IN MAY MY BOYFRIEND AND I SPENT 4 DAYS IN BARCELONA FOR MY BIRTHDAY. IT WAS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE VISITED, BUT THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO FULLY APPRECIATE WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CITY IT IS.

I THOUGHT I'D SHARE A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE PLACES THAT WE FOUND WHILST EXPLORING, ALONG WITH A COUPLE OF PHOTOS TOO.

GRACIA AREA | A LOVELY CHILLED OUT AREA OF THE CITY WITH PLENTY OF INDEPENDANT CAFES, BARS, RESTAURANTS AND SHOPS. NOT TOO FAR FROM THE CENTRE EITHER, IF THAT'S YOUR THING.

GORILLA BAR | EXCELLENT COCKTAILS, FOOD AND GOOD MUSIC. REALLY REASONABLE TOO.

PRIMAVERA SOUND FESTIVAL | WE SPENT THE SATURDAY HERE SEEING THE STROKES, MAC DEMARCO, AND MORE. WE ALSO HAD THE BEST PULLED PORK BURGERS EVER FROM THIS TINY VAN.

PARK GUELL | THE BEST PLACE TO GET A VIEW OF THE WHOLE CITY, PROVIDING YOU'RE PREPARED TO DO SOME SERIOUS WALKING. MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE OF GAUDI'S CREATIONS.

GENERATOR HOSTEL | THIS WAS NO ORDINARY HOSTEL. WE BOOKED A PRIVATE ROOM WHICH EVEN HAD A BALCONY WITH VIEWS OF THE SAGRADA FAMILIA.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR SOMEWHERE TO STAY ON A BUDGET IN A FANTASTIC PART OF THE CITY.
