Looking to take a week off sometime in May and travel. Have been thinking about Barcelona, and was wondering if anyone has recommendations such as what part of the city to stay in (or even a good hotel recommendation), or things to do/avoid? I will be traveling with my girlfriend (f*ck me right) so keep that in mind. Feel free to pitch me on another city if you are anti-Barcelona. I just want an interesting place to go that has some sort of energy to it, I don't really feel like sitting on an island doing nothing for a week.
Should I look to check out some other cities while I'm over there? I am more of a "do one or two places" type of guy than a "go everywhere for one day" type of traveler, but I would like to see as much as I could.
Sorry if someone has already asked about Barca specifically, but I did not see any posts that really had anyone making any type of recommendations regarding it.
Stay in Gothic Quarter or El Born.
Also, check out a club called "City Hall"
+1 on those two areas
Fun club: Sutton Good Paella: l'Arroz
Gothic Quarter is a very interesting part of the city to stay in, I highly recommend it. It is smack in the middle of the old-city putting you in close proximity to just about everything. There is history all around you in this area but also a ton of bars, restaurants, etc., and even a ~10 minute walk to the coast. Very cool architecture and narrow roads that to my understanding, only exist within the gothic quarter itself
If you're really wanna make the most of your tip stay at the W Hotel, it's not cheap but definitely the best hotel in the city and it's directly at the beach (They even an own area so you don't get disturbed every 5min by a Pakistani dude trying to sell you glasses/mojitos/drugs etc). For restaurants go to Carlota Akaneya, Torre alta mar and ikabana for instance. If you go to the beach clubs only go to Opium not pacha or shoko they're quite trash. Alternatively, Sutton is quite decent as well and Otto Zutz if you like Hip Hop.
Take some wine/ beer and go to the bunkers one night to watch the sunset. Unreal views of the city
Stay close to el born/ gothic quarter, Get a hotel on passeig de Gracia, Go inside sagrada familia, visit Santa Catarina market, eat at ‘el nacional’
Take a big tab of Lucy, then climb Montjuic in flip flops at midday. You´ll never forget that experience, I can promise you that.
