Barcelona is one of the most popular destinations in Europe. It’s a city that I’ve been to three times.

The streets fill you with the energy of colors and smellsץ

The walk on the streets fills me with inspiration I told to Itay.


With so much to see and do in and around Barcelona, where do you begin?


After 4.5 hours flight from Israel finally we landed at Barcelona, our Hotel was really lovely hotel @Hotel1898 in the middle of Las Ramblas.

we got a lovely room with small balcony to the Ramblas.

The hotel has 2 entrances from the main street and from side street, you can find really nice lobby who offers every day cozy stand of tea and small snacks.

every day i went to the gym around 07:30 and after i went to the rooftop for Yoga session near the pool, from this place you can get a great view of Barcelona.


Day 1

now let's start our trip, first stop of course is something to eat

Trópico is hidden away on a side street in Raval, which is excellent if you don’t want to wait in line for a great brunch. Because Trópico knows what a good brunch is.


The menu has influences from all over the world, and the food is both tasty and fun. All the items on the menu are available all day, which is perfect if you come hungry and are looking for some sustenance.












next stop is shopping, i really don't need to tell you a lot about it :)


Than in the evening we went for other lovely place LULU

Lulu is the perfect place for breakfast and.... Live Music every Saturday and Sunday from 19:00. you can go there to eat really good breakfast, or come in the evening for a bear and live music


Day 2

On the second day we got up for a very sunny and pleasant day.

Walking the streets got us lost and hit the gorgeous side streets full of chic and style.


The Gothic area is the most popular and touristy where you can find top brands such as Zara, Mango (even there are Mango Kids) Paul & Bear, Bershka and more ... Shop worth going through (for pajamas lovers) - Tezennis But If you continue wandering you can reach the Carrer de la princesa area, where you can find vintage shops in small corners and just cool local shops. My recommendation will turn around and get lost!


We ate our lunch at El cercle (the truth is that we went back there the other day too because it was delicious) - the portions served are delicious as they are beautiful. If you are into fish mood, ask for the "Japanese" menu (they have two menus ..) and choose the salmon or tuna dish.

don't forget the sangria of course!



















Our walk brought us to a lovely beautiful green park that is very close to Arc the Triumph of Barcelona. It's worth taking some fruit and sitting there for lunch in the afternoon.


In the evening we visited ROBATA for the sushi lovers and fish it's for you.

It is advisable to reserve a place in advance through the hotel or through their website (filled during the week and on special occasions). The pictures speak for themselves so I won't elaborate in words just saying that ... Wow! amazing experience!


Day 3


Park Guell a great place to experience some nature and enjoy the amazing works of Gaudi that the park offers and of course enjoy the music of the street artists who settle there. Please note that the park entrance is free but the attractions inside can be with charge.












Sagrada Família, this time from the photographic side “The Hidden Lake” is located at the main entrance to the church (from Carrer de la marina street). Worth a visit, we did not enter the site but a visit within the site itself is entirely possible by pre-order.






















Of course if we are in Barcelona you can't miss Messi's game,

We watched the Champions League game, a game of Barcelona against Salvia Prague. Unfortunately the game ended in a 0-0 draw but we enjoyed an incredible atmosphereץ




















For Indian food lovers - little India will be great.

The food very Tasty but the place is a bit outdated

Another option - Suriya We found that the reviews are excellent, the food nice and the service excellent


Day 4


The fourth day opens with a visit at Bindu Yoga for Ashtanga practice, a small quiet yoga studio located on the corner of Argo de Santa Eulalia 1 very close to Ramblas.

A large wooden green door leads you to a magical apartment that is divided into small studios.

My recommendation if you are new to the Yoga choose the morning classes as they are slower and calm.


Brunch and Cake you will find an amazing place for brunch. If you want to experience the best brunch ever you must visit this place













And to finish off one of the coolest places you'll have in Barcelona speakeasy called Bobby's Free, the entrance is through a barber shop and you have to say the code at the entrance, the code can be found on Bobby's Free Instagram page.

in the place you will find live music 80' feeling and really great cocktails.


see you in my next Yoga & Travel blog :)
