1. Palau Dalmases

Flamenco is so incredibly captivating, and the emotional performance at Palau Dalmases was no exception. I've seen a few flamenco performances including one of the most famous dancers in Spain, and I felt that this was the best performance I had seen. The musicians were very talented, particularly the guitarist - surely the best around. With the location in the gothic quarter it makes a great place to wander before and after the show, and a glass of cava went perfectly with the experience.

10. Montjuic Castle
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 3,780 reviews
Standing on a vantage point 173 metres above the port, Montjuïc Castle commands stunning views of the city. Now a peaceable place, the memory of this fortress endures in Barcelona as a symbol of repression but also of the city's struggles during different periods in its history. The top of Montjuïc is the ideal place for a bastion of defence, with 360º views of the city below. However, this military enclave wasn't built until the Reapers' War in 1640. In 1652, the fortress, which stands on the site of a watchtower, came under royal ownership and, some 50 years later, was one of the key defence points in the War of the Spanish Succession, between 1705 and 1714.

Castillo montjuic sits on the hills above Barcelona and provides some stunning views of the city. Entry was only 5 euros each ,which is a bargain for wandering around a beautiful spot. There is a cafe on site for refreshments, and some exhibitions about the history of the castle. Getting here from the city is relatively easy, take the parael funicular railway up to the cable car station and the it's a short 12 euro ride to the top
