We went purchasing, visited a number of totally different markets and explored the look of the Sagrada Familia,
After which we went to the White Rabbit Museum, which was an enormous hit.
White Rabbit combines Catalan tradition with immersive experiences equivalent to projection rooms, digital actuality, lights, and sculpture. Extremely beneficial you probably have children and are touring to Barcelona.
Is Barcelona secure?
Our taxi driver warned us about pickpockets and informed us which areas to keep away from, but it surely was not secure whereas we had been there. I felt a lot safer than I do in lots of components of the US, and I feel something the identical is, realizing your environment and staying the place others are. Keep in a vivid, slightly populated space, know the place you’re heading and maintain your belongings near you. (I am carrying this A handy Amazon bag This complete journey. )

After a slightly powerful begin to 2025, we went on this journey with the intention of spending high quality time with the youngsters, seeing new locations and taking a while to completely recharge. I felt that it’d turn into clear in *one good spot* and Barcelona was the closest factor. There are massive cities we love (a lot of purchasing, comfort, so many gluten-free choices and nice meals), however the pockets of the charming neighborhood are smaller. We particularly favored the neighborhood of Gracia. I am unsure if we’ll truly do extra from Tucson, however we’re taking a look at totally different choices and opening our eyes. 🙂
