8 days in Barcelona Itinerary

Barcelona, the country’s second-largest city, is a cosmopolitan urban center known for its throbbing youthful energy and stellar architecture.

Venture out of the city with trips to Kainis Rituals (in Terrassa) and Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey (in Montserrat). There's still lots to do: admire the striking features of Basilica of the Sagrada Familia, take a stroll through Las Ramblas, don't miss a visit to Casa Batllo, and stroll around Parc Guell.
