Barcelona help
 
We will arrive in Barcelona in 2 weeks and are pretty much all set with our schedule. I just want some opinions on finalizing one of our days. I am traveling with 2 teens and we are not into art or museums too much.
Arrive Thurs AM from Florida- either HO/HO bus or walking tour, lunch and explore Eixample area (where our apartment is)
Friday- 11 am San Pau Recinte Modernista, 2:00 SF tour booked, head to Gracia for lunch and exploring 7:00PM Park Guell tour booked then dinner. Would love dinner recommendation, not too pricey
Saturday- 9:30 Camp Nou tour booked. I need to get an idea of what to add to this day.
Sunday- Montserrat and magic fountains
Monday AM- flight to sevilla
Don't really want to book anything else just leisurelly explore and plan some things to do and see. Some things if possible this day (or to add to another day) would be Santa Maria Del Mar church, Cathedral of Barcelona, boqueria markets, La Rambla, el born, barri gottic, Montjuic.
Thanks:))

What's "not too pricey"? Speak in real terms - actual monetary limits.

No Sagrada Familia?

Yep, SF is on my list on Friday. I would say dinner for under $100

How about a few hours at the beach? It is lovely to walk along thr boardwalk. There are many restaurants to choose from. I split my days so I could enjoy the beach and then grab a dinner and watch the day turn into night. Then a walk back with a stop for ice cream.

Is that $100 for three people or per person? Yes, of course it's possible, but you need to plan ahead. Check Restaurant Windsor, great for lunch and a top family restaurant.

After Parc Guell, perhaps go to one of the many neighbourhood restaurants in close by and local atmosphere Gràcia: http://devourbarcelonafoodtours.com/...celona-gracia/

Had a fabulous meal in Somodó a few months ago, and the 20€ gourmet lunch deal here is arguably the best in town: http://www.spottedbylocals.com/barcelona/somodo/

@kimhe and Kelsey22, Thank you. I will check out those restaurants and yes, we do plan to stroll to the beach at least once.

Gee, I dont know how you could consider a visit to La Familia!!!

Supermum May 18th, 2017 04:20 AM

That's 'how you could NOT consider a visit to La Familiar'! :)

On the Saturday, perhaps take the funicular up to the Castell on top of Montjuic (Jewish mountain) right outside the heart of town. Fabulous views of both the city and the sea: https://www.telefericdemontjuic.cat/en

And on your way down, perhaps go for a swim in the 1992 Olympic arena, one of the finest outdoor pools wou'll ever see, and open to the public from June. https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2...ntjuic-piscina

Montjuic is pure adventure with all the greens, Olympic arenas, theaters and museums. https://barcelonando.com/montjuic-olympic-ring

And lots of great tapas bars, cafés and restaurants in the local atmosphere Poble Sec district at the foot of Montjuic: http://www.barcelonaturisme.com/wv3/...to-bodega.html

Xemei has become a must when in Barcelona: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Lvcjtoh0tU
La Perla, on the other side of the street, is as Barcelona as it gets, lunch only. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaura...Catalonia.html
El Sortidor is a classic in the area: https://www.facebook.com/ElSortidor/
Quimet y Quimet is one of the most fun tapas bars in Barcelona: http://www.spottedbylocals.com/barce...imet-i-quimet/
