You’ve been homebound for what feels like an eternity. Your inner globetrotter has been caged for far too long, and it’s just itching for an escape. Well, honey, I’ve got the inside scoop on how to live it up in Barcelona in just three days.
Why Barcelona, you ask?
Picture this: Surreal architecture, divine tapas, and a chance rendezvous with the spirit of Shakira (okay, maybe I didn’t meet her, but she did shoot a cover here!). Let’s dive into the sun-soaked dreamscape that is Barcelona.
1. Stay in Style:
You’ll want to shack up at The Barcelona EDITION. Trust me on this one. This hotel doesn’t just offer you a bed; it envelops you in an embrace of luxury, from the moment you breathe in its welcoming aroma to the gold details in the bathroom. And ladies, we’re talking golden shower heads here – you’ll truly bathe in opulence. Nestled right in the heart of the city, this spot is only a short strut away from the beach and the best hangout spots. And the view? Straight out of your insta-dreams.
2. Dine like a Diva:
Head over to Bar Cañete. Why? Two words: Lobster Croquettes. Oh, and if your sweet tooth is acting up, get ready for the Cuban chocolate stick – a delightful mélange of a truffle bar and cake, all topped with whipped cream. For those nights when your stilettos just won’t cooperate, Bar Veraz in the EDITION’s lobby offers some serious mood, perfect tapas, and wine that’ll have you saying “Más, por favor!”
3. Luxuriate and Lounge:
Kick off those heels and head to the rooftop pool at The EDITION. Overlooking Barcelona’s cityscape, it’s the place to relax, grab a glass of wine, and bask in the views. For a culture vixen like you, don’t miss out on Park Güell with its artistic gems, and La Sagrada Familia with its breathtaking beauty. After all the strolling, indulge in a night at Aire Ancient Baths. Cycling between hot and cold baths? Ultimate relaxation.
4. When to Wander:
Mid-August was the sweet spot for us – not too scorching, and buzzing without being too crowded. But if you prefer your Spanish soirée a tad cooler, think late spring or early summer. Bonus: There’s a beach bash in June that is THE event of the season.
Wrapping up, Barcelona isn’t just a city; it’s an experience. In three days, I fell in love and I bet you will too. Next time, maybe I’ll go for two weeks, but till then, adiós and happy traveling, fashionistas!
