Top 10 Nature & Parks in Ciutat Vella (Old Town), Catalonia
Barcelona feels a bit surreal – appropriate, since Salvador Dali spent time here and Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí designed several of the city’s buildings. Stepping into Gaudí’s Church of the Sacred Family is a bit like falling through the looking glass - a journey that you can continue with a visit to Park Güell. Sip sangria at a sidewalk café in Las Ramblas while watching flamboyant street performers, then create your own moveable feast by floating from tapas bar to tapas bar.

One of the larger parks in central Barcelona, Parc de la Ciutadella has alot to offer, being near the Zoo (which requires a ticket purchase), as well as some other historic landmarks like the Castle of the Three Dragons. However, even if you arent the photo-taking type, this park has alot of sitting areas (benches or grass patches) where you can escape the crowds in other parts of Barcelona. There are also many locals who use the space for exercise or practising their hobbies so you almost feel like you are immersing with everyday life here. Spent a good few hours here just wandering around and lazing with friends in a very people-friendly green space!

Do not miss this for the world if you are in Barcelona. It has a quite expensive commercial center(MareMagnum), nice places to eat or have a beer, a very clean wooden platform(washed every morning), cleaner than I had in my hotel room, excellent places to sit and relax by the sea, to watch all the cruise vessels, the yachts, small boats coming and going out. If you are there at around 19.00, you can see a big passenger vessel approaching and mooring in the narrow part of the port(the one closer to the wooden platform). Impressive indeed!!! Great maneuver of that captain.

We had a little time our last evening, and decided to take a stroll at the Platja de Sant Sebastiá. It was clean, not too crowded, and just right for us to toss our shoes and go for a little barefoot stroll in the shallow surf. It was a great way to end our days in Barcelona.

This is a clean beach with beautiful scenery along the boardwalk.We took a stroll along the beach from Port Vell to a beach bar next to the marina near the Casino Barcelona.There were multiple choices of restaurants along the water or the side streets.The atmosphere was vibrant and lively.
