Barcelona Gothic Quarter walking tour
Barcelona Gothic Quarter walking tour takes us to some of the main plazas of town and those charming little pedestrian lanes.
While Barcelona has many famous sites and museums, one of the great pleasures is just hanging out, just taking a stroll, sitting down relaxing, watching the people go by. We'll visit Plaza St Jaume, Plaça de Sant Josep Oriol, the Rambla, Les Quinze Nits, Carrer de Jaume, Barcelona Cathedral, with highlights of the Mercè Festival Barcelona.
And we'll see the grand plaza of the Plaça Reial, that's the Royal Square, built in the nineteenth century. It's surrounded by magnificent arcades on all sides and anchored by a grand fountain in the center.
While this is a very popular touristic destination, it's also a public space that's utilized by the locals, especially when they're putting on an outdoor concert at one of their various festivals.
On Sundays they have a flea market with antiques and collectibles. The street market could be a good place to pick up an authentic souvenir – better than a tourist shop, but perhaps the main attraction of the Royal Square are the many restaurants lining it all the way around.
It's even more lively at night than during the day, primarily because of all the busy restaurants and it's like an outdoor living room for the people who live here. Even if you're not hungry this is certainly an interesting spot to pass through in the evening.
There's even a couple of small deluxe hotels on the square and just looking around at all the food, restaurants you'll quickly work up an appetite.
And don't hesitate to take a walk at night in the heart of Barcelona, for example, once again back out here on the Rambla. It really is quite safe because there are so many people around, the streets are pretty well lit. You don't want to miss out on that, and the Spaniards, as you know stay up late so the restaurants are open.
One of the busiest pedestrian streets is Carrer de Jaume, which is actually part of a much longer street that goes from one end of downtown to the other, changing names to Carrer de la Princesa and as we saw earlier, Carrer de Ferran.
That culinary favorite of pizza is always available, and gelato – that could be your staple dishes in town, along with the tapas and the vino.
This lively street inevitably leads into its namesake the Plaça St Jaume, where City Hall is located, other government buildings and lots of people. Tonight there was a special event, part of the Mercè Festival, lighting up the buildings with moving illuminations and music.
Over 100 events with music and dance performances take place on that Mercè Festival weekend. We will show you a little bit more of this and the sardana dance at the end of the show.
And if you enjoyed the movie, how about a thumbs up, and we always welcome comments down below.

AWESOME MARKET IN BARCELONA | TRAVEL & FOOD VLOG
We simply love markets! It is always so great to find a market like this. This one might be even better than the one in Berlin, but it is hard to compare since every market has its own unique qualities. We will show you the La Rambla street, which is considered one of the main streets in Barcelona. Then we will end our journey in hotel Miramar which has beautiful views on the whole city because it's on a side of a hill. Enjoy! :)

MUSEU DE LES ARTS DECORATIVES
A Barcelona hi ha un Museu de les Arts Decoratives. Això no és quelcom obvi, senyores i senyors... I ara els expliquem el perquè.
Es va crear l'any 1932 amb una rica i diversa representació de les arts decoratives europees, des de l'edat mitjana fins a la industrialització. Però des del 1995, any en què el museu amplià el seu àmbit temporal amb la incorporació del disseny, és el primer i únic museu de tot l'estat en conservar i exhibir disseny industrial espanyol.
