    What to do in Barcelona – Afisha Daily

    Spain continues to issue visas to Russians, so you can spend your next vacation in colorful Barcelona. We tell you what impressions will help you understand the capital of Catalonia – the most independent, prosperous and creative region of the country.

    Get lost in the Old Town

    And walk along the Rambla to the sea

    The old quarters of Barcelona remember the ancient Romans and the great navigators, the horrors of the Spanish InquisitionThe Frederic Mares Museum with a collection of medieval sculptures and household items is located inside the old Royal Palace (the office of the her coat of arms on the wall). and the first fighters for the independence of Catalonia. Here, even the New Square was founded in 1355, and the ruins of the fortresses have been standing since the time of the village of Barsino of the 3rd century.

    However, not all monuments are equally ancient. Many were repeatedly completed, acquiring details: for example, the Cathedral of the 13th century has the main facade of the 19th century. Some have been restored: for example, the aqueduct on New Square is a remake, but the towers are real. Already in the Old Town, you can get acquainted with Catalan modernism: here is the Palau Güell by Gaudí, and the Montaner Palace of Music, and Picasso’s friezes for the house of the College of Architects of Catalonia.

    The best thing to do in the Old City is to wander through the crooked lanes, paying attention to details and guessing the era. But it’s really easy to get your bearings: the area is divided into three parts by two streets – La Rambla and Via Laetana. Between them The Gothic Quarter is the largest ensemble of Gothic buildings in Europe : there is even a house from the 12th century, and the rest were built after the earthquake of the 14th century.

    From the Rambla towards Montjuïc — Raval, aka Barrio Chino (Chinatown) , a former red-light district and emigrants that inspired Picasso and Dali with its color. It is here, in the House of Marti, that the 4 gats cafe is located – the main meeting place for Catalan modernists. Now there are many clubs and student bars in Raval.

    And east of Via Laetana to the Arc de Triomphe, the district is three in one: Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera . Once lived here by sailors and artisans, and now life is seething around tapas bars and shops of local designers. Here Santa Maria del Mar is a masterpiece of Catalan Gothic.

    Itself La Rambla is the main pedestrian attraction: you can walk along it from Plaça Catalunya (the central transport hub of the city) to the sea. And along the way, stare at street vendors, thimble-makers and floating tourists, hide from the heat under plane trees, have a bite of jamon from the Boqueria market and go past the monument to Columbus to a medieval shipyard – the only surviving one in Europe.

    Among the numerous souvenir shops with T-shirts and magnets, there are some really unusual ones. For example, shops with kaganers – pooping men, which are given in Catalonia for Christmas. And also shops with hemp products – from candles to lubricants. Nearby is the Cannabis Museum.

    To understand Catalan Art Nouveau

    And to collect a collection of balconies in Eixample

    The case when art became the main pillar of the national idea. Catalan architecture and painting at the turn of the 19th–20th centuries is a world heritage, here this period is called modernism, although in Russian it is modernSoviet modernism is architecture from 1955 to 1991, and Russian Art Nouveau is the architecture of the turn of the 19th–20th centuries. Both periods are united by the search for a new artistic language capable of expressing futuristic ideas of modernizing the world. Bright, sensual and free, like the Catalans themselves. Interestingly, this style appeared on the wave of the industrial revolution and was urban in spirit, but at the same time denied predictability and straight lines and was inspired by nature. This is how modernity was seen then – technological and free.

    The maximum concentration of monuments of modernism – by Paseo de Gracia . Here it is worth starting your acquaintance with the main masters – Antonio Gaudíundefined, Domenech i Montaner and Puig i Cadafalch. Their works stand side by side in the “Apple of Discord” quarter: the houses of Batllo, Amalle and Lleo y Morera compete with each other for the attention of the audience, as in the court of Paris. Nearby is the famous Casa Mila residential building by Gaudi and the Antoni Tapies Foundation, a museum of the Catalan abstract artist, housed in a 19th-century building by Lluís Domènech y Montaner.

    A little further from the center is the Sagrada Familia, the symbol of the city and the greatest creation of Gaudí, which has been under construction since 1882. It is worth planning a visit in advance (tickets sell out quickly) and set aside several hours to see everything, listen to an audio guide, climb the bell tower and visit museum spaces.

    All of these buildings are located in the Eixample district, one of the world’s largest modernism preserves. Eixample is Catalan for “expansion”: it is a new modern city as opposed to an outdated and overcrowded one. His innovative project Ildefons SerdaCerda is one of the first European urbanists. He also enriched the Catalan vocabulary with the word urbanización. invented in 1854 – exactly in the same years, Baron Haussmann modernized Paris. But if Georges Eugene Osman cut boulevards right on top of the old city, then Cerda expanded Barcelona and built new quarters behind the abolished fortress wall. The result was a huge new city with octagonal squares and effectively organized square blocks (taking into account the Barcelona heat and other features).

    What does modern have to do with it? His idea is precisely to combine mathematics and art, utilitarian and artistic, urban and natural. Floral ornaments, stucco and curlicues are an indispensable decoration of facades. And the pattern of the streets is also similar to an ornament. You can wander around the Eixample, endlessly looking at the patterns on the walls, collecting exquisite balconies, architraves and front doors.

    A century and a half has passed, and the area remains comfortable and prestigious – like neighboring Gracia, which inherited a lot from Eixample. There are many excellent apartments, shops and restaurants, transport is conveniently organized.

    Where to eat and shop

    – Eixample has many trendy restaurants and bars. Keep in mind: good places get on a first come first served basis — even brunch restaurants (there is such a mark on Google maps). But it’s worth it! For example, La papa and Faire have great breakfasts, Paco Meralgo has tapas, Pau Claris 190 has seafood and paella, and Carnal has reference steaks.
    – Louis Vuitton, Prada, Versace, Swarovski, Rolex, Apple boutiques are located on Paseo de Gracia Avenue, in front of each there is a long line to enter. There are also more democratic brands, from Zara to Uniqlo.
    – Spanish fashion is not only Balenciaga: there are many talented designers in Catalonia and beyond, their boutiques can also be found in Eixample and Gracia. For example, local brands Santa Eulalia, Maria Roch, Cortana and Lurdes Bergadà.

    Choose your favorite tapas

    And admire the old markets

    Catalan cuisine is another national pride. In Barcelona, ​​delicious food is everywhere: in Michelin-starred restaurants, in international breakfast cafes, and in authentic seaside eateries. Behind all this splendor, it is important not to miss the traditional genre – tapas bars. The case when the local cuisine is not just a tourist product, but a living tradition: there are many Catalans in them. Tapas bars are scattered throughout the city, most of all in the areas of Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera, Raval and Poble Sec .

    The Catalan approach to snacks is free, although the format itself is traditional: the menu of a retrograde-looking tapas bar may well include variations on the theme of burrata, kalamata olives, kimchi, steak tartar and even “Russian salad”. And yet, it cannot do without local recipes. On the table there is always a flatbread of coca, grated with garlic and ripe tomato. It is served with Iberian jamon, supplemented with anchovies or eaten just like that: as simple as possible – and incredibly tasty! Fried potatoes patatas bravas are often served with Catalan aioli; in the Barceloneta area, you can try the district specialty – potato “bomb”. Escalivada – Catalan cold appetizer of baked eggplant and peppers with garlic and wine vinegar, ham croquettes, cod salad, grilled octopus, pintxos and montaditos sandwiches – appetizers of the sea. And for dessert, take crema catalana and churros.

    Tapas are interesting to try not only in bars, but also in markets – they are available in almost every district. You can have a bite to eat in a cafe or on the go by buying a bag of chorizo ​​and manchego. In addition, the central markets are works of engineering art: even gastronomic pleasures in Barcelona are inseparable from aesthetic ones. The most famous is Boqueria on the Rambla, the work of the architect Mas Vila, made of steel and glass with mosaics. Sant Antoni in Eixample was built from steel by Rovira y Trias in 1882, and there is a vintage market on Sundays. And Santa Caterina in La Ribera is adorned with a multi-colored roof, which was invented in 2005 by postmodernist Enric Miralles and his wife Benedetta Tagliabue.0003

    Tapas bars

    • Elsa y Fred, Tapeo, El Xampanyet, Casa Ràfols, Casa Lolea deserve attention in Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera.
    • In Poble Sec – Quimet & Quimet, Celler Cal Marino, Casa de Tapas Cañota.

    Find a park in the city

    And see the Arc de Triomphe without a military triumph

    Most of the year Barcelona is hot, with almost no gardens and courtyards, instead of them – shady boulevards. That is, while you are going somewhere, the greenery hides you from the sun, but it is not easy to find a secluded garden for quiet reflection. Even in Eixample: Cerda conceived courtyards-oases inside the quarters, but in reality there are mostly sports fields and garages without greenery.

    Still, there are a few parks. First of all, Guell, the famous creation of Gaudi with a mosaic lizard on the stairs, which has become one of the symbols of the city. The industrialist and philanthropist Eusebi Güell is the patron of Gaudi, without his sponsorship there would not be many attractions in Barcelona. In fact, Guell did not order a city park at all, but something like a cottage village with a private garden, but the business idea failed: no one bought plots on the mountain, as a result, Guell and Gaudi themselves settled in the mansions. The heirs of the philanthropist opened the park for everyone. However, getting here is still not easy: due to the abundance of tourists, admission is limited, so buy tickets in advance.

    Ciutadella Park is not only a pleasant place to walk, but also an occasion to reflect on the world history of conquests and triumphs. September 11 It is interesting that on this day – September 11 – the National Day of Catalonia is celebrated. In 1714, Catalonia lost its autonomy: as a result of the War of Spanish Succession, it became part of Spain, led by Philip V of Bourbon. To control the rebels, the king built a citadel and sent cannons to the poor areas. In the 19th century, the fortress was dismantled and the citadel park with the Cascade fountain by Gaudí was laid out instead. In 1888, the World Exhibition was held here: the buildings of the arsenal and the chapel served as pavilions, and the modernist Castle of the Three Dragons, the greenhouse and the neo-Moorish Arc de Triomphe were built as exhibits. Usually they glorify military victories, but here the context is completely different: the main entrance to the exhibition symbolized the portal to the future and sang the triumph of scientific and technical thought. Now the park houses a zoo, a skate park and the Parliament of Catalonia.

    And the greenest place in the city is Mount Montjuic: there are 300 hectares of forests, gardens and parks. There is the Botanical Garden and the Costa y Llobera Gardens with a unique collection of cacti. The history of Montjuic resonates with the history of Ciutadella: here, too, a fortress first appeared, and then a park was laid out and it was decided to hold the World Exhibition in it in 1929. Its exhibits include the Greek Theater, where the Greek Festival is held in summer, and the Spanish Village, an open-air ethnographic museum. At the same time, the Olympic Ring was erected – the city was waiting for the Olympics-1936, but the civil war began, and the sports festival was held here only in 1992. The Plaza de España with the Magic Fountain served as the main entrance to the exhibition: now these light and music shows have become commonplace, but then the fountain made a splash.

    Gaze at the panorama of the city

    Walk in the mountains and ride the funicular over the sea

    Barcelona is surrounded by mountains and overlooks the sea at the same time – this location provides a unique climate: there are many sunny days, and the heat is relatively easy to endure. And of course, such a relief is conducive to enjoying panoramic views: there are many viewing platforms on the outskirts of the city.

    Montjuic is best reached by the harbor cable car: vintage 1929 cabanas float directly above the sea, connecting the beaches of Barceloneta and the Miramar observation deck at the foot of the mountain. And a modern funicular leads to the top: from the park to the Montjuic fortress. It offers views of the city, the sea and the port.

    Another interesting route leads to Tibidabo , the highest mountain of the Collserola range. The historic Blue Tram takes travelers to the Tibidaba Retro Funicular. Above: a park with a lookout tower and rides and Sacred Heart Temple. Near the gardens of Can Borni and the Forestal de la Budellera park, the Fabra observatory and the Collserola TV tower, there are beautiful views from everywhere.

    Finally, you can admire the panorama of the city from Pedralbes , a respectable area in the west of Barcelona, ​​which was formed around the convent of the same name. At the edge of the area is Mount Sant Pere Martir with hiking trails and viewing platforms. But the main spectacle, of course, is sports: the Camp Nou, the legendary stadium of the Barcelona football club, is located here. It is not easy to get tickets for the match, but it is worth it: the whole city is passionately rooting for this team.

    Explore museums and galleries

    And understand how art and science are connected

    The most interesting thing in Barcelona is art museums . The main staircase leads from Plaza de España to Montjuïc to the National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC). This is not only the main world center for the study of Catalan modernism, where you can see paintings, sculptures, posters and arts and crafts from the early 20th century. Here is the world’s largest collection of medieval Romanesque frescoes, as well as works by Rubens, Velasquez, Goya, Titian, El Greco and other European masters, temporary exhibitions are held. And next to the stairs to Montjuic is the German pavilion in the international style, built for the World Exhibition 1929 years old The building by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was demolished and then restored. Especially for the pavilion, the modernist architect came up with the Barcelona chair – such ones are still being produced.

    Nearby on the hill and the Joan Miro Foundation. It houses the largest collection of works by the Catalan abstract artist, sculptor, graphic artist and ceramicist. The museum is located in a building specially built for him by Josep Sert, a student of Le Corbusier and a friend of Miró. The artist opened this foundation to support contemporary art, here you can see the works of influential authors of the 20th and 21st centuries. The Antoni Tapies Foundation was created for the same purpose: it is not only an impressive collection of works by the Catalan expressionist, but also an exhibition and lecture space, a media library, a cinema hall and an art school. The Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA) and the Center for Contemporary Culture of Barcelona (CCCB) are also must-sees.

    The Picasso Museum in La Ribera is dedicated to the great Spanish-French artist, whose creative style was formed in Barcelona. It was here that the paintings of the “blue period” were painted (“pink” already refers to Paris). In the museum, you can find out who influenced the founder of cubism and surrealism, and buy a dove of peace in a souvenir shop. But the Dali Theater Museum is not located in Barcelona, ​​but in neighboring Figueres, but it definitely deserves a trip.

    Barcelona has spectacular historical and scientific museums that are interesting for both children and adults. The Maritime Museum occupies the building of the royal shipyards. There are huge models of ships, and documents about the voyage of Columbus: having discovered America, the navigator returned to Catalonia. The Museum of the History of Barcelona is a labyrinth under the Old City with the ruins of Roman baths and sewers that lead to the Royal Palace with the ground part of the exposition. The interactive science museum CosmoCaixa is also located below and above the ground, a futuristic space pierced by a spiral staircase. A flooded forest, a hall of living matter, a planetarium – you can spend the whole day here, or you can combine a visit with a walk along Tibidabo.

    How to save on tickets

    — The Articket BCN Museum Passport includes six museums: the National Museum, the Joan Miró Foundation, the Picasso Museum, the Tapies Foundation, the MACBA and the CCCB. They can be examined at any time within 12 months, but only once.

    See the real life of the locals

    Go to a cabaret and walk along the parallel

    There are so many tourists in the city center that the locals rarely come here. If you are interested in experiencing the vibe of a non-tourist Barcelona, ​​you should go to more remote areas. For example, at Poble Sec Old working class neighborhood, picturesque and unkempt. People here do not live as richly as in Eixample and Gracia, they dry clothes on balconies, and in the evenings they go to bars and variety shows.

    A separate attraction – walk along the real geographical parallel : Avinguda del Paral lel Avenue is strictly parallel to the equator. Until 1894 there was a city wall. This is Barcelona’s broadway, it is here that theaters and cabarets are located: Victoria, Condal, Apolo, BARTS, there is even a Moulin Rouge.

    Listen to music

    And learn a few words of the local language

    The Catalans are talented not only in architecture but also in music. A surge of interest in national folklore arose after the World Exhibition of 1888 – the Catalan Orpheon society was soon founded, which needed a headquarters. Its construction was entrusted to Domènech y Montaner, and this is how the incredible Palace of Catalan Music (UNESCO monument) appeared. This is the first concert hall in Europe with natural light, it is richly decorated with mosaics, stained-glass windows, ornaments and stucco. You can come here only for the sake of the interiors, but it is better to combine the tour with a concert. Do not forget that flamenco and Spanish guitar come from Andalusia, but if you really listen to them in Catalonia, then here.

    Don’t limit yourself to Spanish motifs. Catalans love different types of music, Barcelona has world-class music bars and clubs, such as Jamboree, Marula, Harlem Jazz Club, Razzmatazz. Barcelona also hosts Primavera Sound, one of the main music festivals in Europe.

    Sunbathe on the beach

    Gaze at the yachts and eat at the fish cafe

    Previously, Barceloneta was a gloomy area of ​​the poor, sailors and factories. It was formed under Philip V: in order to build a citadel, the king destroyed an entire trading quarter in La Ribera and resettled its inhabitants closer to the sea – on a peninsula that served as a breakwater. Now Barceloneta is a region of contrasts: huge yachts of the world’s richest people are moored in the port near the embankment, while laundry is still being dried inside the quarters and local housing office art is flourishing.

    It is worth coming here for the spacious beaches and numerous fish cafes. Paella is not a Catalan, but a Valencian dish, but you can try an excellent one here. There are cheap port cafes and modern restaurants overlooking the sea. And nearby is the Barcelona Oceanarium, one of the largest in Europe.

    Go out of town

    And walk through the vineyards

    If the city beach of Barcelona is not enough, the Mediterranean suburbs are at your service: party Sitges , cozy fishing village Sant Pol de Mar , town Mataro is the birthplace of the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch. And if this is not enough, then further towards Valencia – the resort coast Costa Dorada , and towards France – secluded pine bays Costa Brava .

    If you like attractions, then you should visit PortAventura, an amusement park in the vicinity of Tarragona, one of the largest in Europe. And if you want to see the stunning beauty of the monastery among the bald pillars – go to the Benedictine monastery of Montserrat, where you can see the “Black Madonna” (according to legend, written by Luke himself), listen to the boys’ choir and organ concert, read the manuscripts in the library and, of course, wander through the mountains.
