As it happens in all the cities in the world, there are many hidden and remote restaurants which present an extensive menu with some really exquisite dishes. In Sarrià there is a small place called El Clandestino which has some delicious foods. If you´re a person who loves to get to know the culture of a society not only through its monuments and museums but also through its food, El Clandestino is an ideal place where, every night, they cook the best traditional foods of the region. The sea products, wild-sea bass, tuna, monkfish, prawns and others are all freshly obtained daily by the owners of the place. For this reason the dishes vary according to the time of year and the season of the products. But there´s also the wine list offered by an expert sommelier in the subject which will recommend the best combinations to fully exploit all the flavours. The best you can do in this place is go walking and enjoy the streets that are around El Clandestino which are in a beautiful neighbourhood and that seems to be taken out of a previous time.

Paseo de Gracia is one of the most important avenues in the whole of Barcelona and was designed, from the beginning, to be so. It´s also not only that but one of the most elegant places that the city has to go for a walk, with really impressive architecture and many modernist buildings such as Casa Batlló or Casa Milà. The quality and quantity of the modernist art buildings that there are in Paseo de Gracia can´t compare to anything else in Barcelona and many of them go back even to the Roman times. But further than being one of the most interesting places to enjoy the buildings that, with time, become true architectural works of art, the avenue also has some of the biggest and most impressive shops in the city and because of that a lot of people go and shop there. Some of the most important designers that have shops there are Loewe, Chanel. Yves Saint-Laurent, Adolfo Domínguez, Hermès, Ermenegildo Zegna, Max Mara and Escada y Lauren among others. But there are other shops which are much more affordable such as Mango, Blobe, Bennetton or Laura Ashley. Paseo de Gracia is one of the most important places in the city and you can´t not enjoy the views of such buildings and shop at the place. For that you can rent apartments in Barcelona and prepare yourself to go...

If you´re a classic food lover but, at the same time, you like the places that present a new and renovated atmosphere with charm and beauty in its surroundings, Picus is an ideal restaurant for you to visit with your couple or friends. The place, which is situated in the area close to Plaça Molina in Barcelona, presents different atmospheres ranging from the more modern with Mediterranean foods but with a creative and different twist, that will impress all its visitors. The original idea was to preserve Spanish traditions but, at the same time, to show a sense of evolution and renovation. The menu of the place depends on the season because all the products are fresh and bought daily and the wines are of the best that you can find.

Despite that in its beginnings El Born was a place which wasn´t highly appreciated neither by tourists or by locals in Barcelona, bit by bit it became one of the districts where you find the trendiest of places. Every day both cafes and night bars are full of people who decide to go for a long walk with friends, couples or with the family. It is also a place that many people choose to go and eat pizza because, according to the word on the street, you can find the best pizzerias in Barcelona at an affordable price. In el Born there is a lot of culture in the air because we´re talking about a medieval district which still holds that appearance. On Montcada street there is the Picasso Museum or the Museo Textil, as well as the beautiful cathedral of Santa María del Mar, which we can visit when there´s a wedding taking place. Currently one of the reasons why people go to El Born is because of the boutiques that it has, which present innovative designs at a reduced price. Arriving in Born is very simple because you can get there either by metro or bus and, of course, by taxi. This place is one of the most interesting ones that the city has today and you can´t not visit it. You can rent apartments in Barcelona and visit this district full of cultural...

The Maritime Museum of Barcelona, which is situated in the building of Atarazanas Reales which was used for naval contruction in between the 13th and 18th centuries, is without doubt one of the sites that you have to visit if you are in the city. The museum, after having serious problems with funding during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, finally opened its doors in 1941 and is one of the most important and relevant museums in the city today. The museum is Gothic style because it was built in between 1283 and 1328 and the second one between 1328 and 1390 so everything that is there is pure history. From the walls to its ships. The rooms that make up the museum are the Jaume I, Roger de Lauria, Luis de Requesens (these are the first that you see when you go into the site), Capmany, Pedro el Cerimonioso, Ramon Llull, Art Popular and Marqués de Comillas. At the site, aside from being able to enjoy real-sized replicas of ships from that time, we can also observe vessels, anchors, weapons and pieces of artillery like one called “La Pantera” which belonged to Francisco III of Módena. If you are a lover of the history of vessels, ships and everything related with the sea, the Maritime Museum is a place that you can´t not visit. You can hire apartments in Barcelona and not allow this chance to...
