If there is one place in Barcelona where one can see a perfect blend of families, dogs, skaters (taking advantage of the suitably smooth surface of the Passeig grounds) and tourists alike mutually enjoying the tranquil environment it is the Arc de Triomf.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are additionally numerous restaurants that encompass the immediate surroundings of the Arc, which I personally find to have made for a <strong>perfectly calming and soothing dining atmospher<\/strong>e. One additional factor that has made the Arc doubly special for me is the convenient placement of many of the city\u2019s <strong>comic book cafes<\/strong> that can be found around the Arc providing me with a peculiarly pleasant reading experience that I had not yet experienced prior to my first visit to Barcelona.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>PLA\u00c7A CATALUNYA<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12206\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/arquitectura\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/07\/Passeig_Gracia_Barcelona_spain_Europe_Trip.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"893\" height=\"1192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/arquitectura\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/07\/Passeig_Gracia_Barcelona_spain_Europe_Trip.png 893w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/arquitectura\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/07\/Passeig_Gracia_Barcelona_spain_Europe_Trip-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/arquitectura\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/07\/Passeig_Gracia_Barcelona_spain_Europe_Trip-650x868.png 650w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/arquitectura\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/07\/Passeig_Gracia_Barcelona_spain_Europe_Trip-768x1025.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/arquitectura\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/07\/Passeig_Gracia_Barcelona_spain_Europe_Trip-696x929.png 696w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/arquitectura\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/07\/Passeig_Gracia_Barcelona_spain_Europe_Trip-315x420.png 315w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 893px) 100vw, 893px\" \/>Widely regarded as the <strong>heart of the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spain.info\/en\/destination\/barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barcelona<\/a><\/strong>, where the new and old city spill in to each other and merge, is also arguably the single most recognizable locale of the Catalan capital. Boasting a beautiful range of monuments such as the incredibly alluring Francesc Maci\u00e0 and ample spaces to walk around with the surrounding roads all branching out and providing you with Barcelona\u2019s innumerable offerings, such as <strong>wonderful cuisine, parks and record stores<\/strong> that I often find myself getting lost in for hours and yet after all the time that I have spent here they never seem to run out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One last thing to mention about the Plaza is the additional presence of El Corte Ingl\u00e9s which can <strong>satisfy your shopping needs<\/strong> as well while you are exploring the center of Barcelona.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>HARD ROCK CAF\u00c9<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For music lovers across the globe, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardrockcafe.com\/location\/barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hard Rock Caf\u00e9<\/a> is the stuff of legend, and I can wholeheartedly say that of all of the Hard Rock Caf\u00e9s that I have visited throughout my life (including one in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardrockcafe.com\/location\/madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Madrid<\/a>) I have enjoyed my visit to the one in Barcelona more than any other, largely due to the collection of memorabilia on display in the Caf\u00e9. Ranging from Kerry King\u2019s (of <strong>Slayer<\/strong>) tribal guitar, to a bowling shirt worn by <strong>Freddy Mercury<\/strong> and even an acoustic guitar played by the one and only <strong>Bob Dylan<\/strong> in Madison Square Garden in 1974, there is a captivatingly powerful aura in the caf\u00e9 that is only amplified by the exquisite, mouthwatering, quality American cuisine that has become a staple of Hard Rock Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>TORRE AGBAR<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the more recent additions to the Barcelona skyline is the Torre Agbar which is indeed a curiously eccentric sight to behold for the first time, being a building with its only resembling counterpart across to globe being the <strong>London Gherkin<\/strong>. Constructed to resemble <strong>a geyser bursting in to the air<\/strong>, and echoing the Montserrat mountain located near Barcelona is truly a quirky yet unmissable sight for anyone that visits the city, especially at night. The tower though only 38 stories tall, appears a soaring monument above the city of <strong>Barcelona<\/strong> with its celebratory color-scheme of blue and red that produces an awe-inspiring sight to behold.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12204\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12204\" style=\"width: 1436px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12204\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/arquitectura\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/07\/barcelona-slide2.jpg\" alt=\"Barcelona skyline with Torre Agbar at twilight, Barcelona, Spain - Image by \u00a9 Sylvain Sonnet\/Corbi\" width=\"1436\" height=\"583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/arquitectura\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/07\/barcelona-slide2.jpg 1436w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/arquitectura\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/07\/barcelona-slide2-315x128.jpg 315w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/arquitectura\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/07\/barcelona-slide2-650x264.jpg 650w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/arquitectura\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/07\/barcelona-slide2-768x312.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/arquitectura\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/07\/barcelona-slide2-696x283.jpg 696w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/arquitectura\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/07\/barcelona-slide2-1068x434.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/arquitectura\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2020\/07\/barcelona-slide2-1035x420.jpg 1035w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1436px) 100vw, 1436px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12204\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Barcelona skyline with Torre Agbar at twilight, Barcelona, Spain &#8211; Image by \u00a9 Sylvain Sonnet\/Corbi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>RAZZMATAZZ &#8211; SALA APOLO<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Two of my personal favorite places to visit in the city are two of Barcelona\u2019s clubs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salarazzmatazz.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Razzmatazz<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sala-apolo.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sala Apolo<\/a>, that seem to be keeping the music scene of the city alive, <strong>bringing in acts from across the globe<\/strong> to perform for legions of fans that will always come out to see them ranging from metal acts like Periphery, Veil of Maya and The Black Dahlia Murder to jazz trios such as The Aristocrats.
