If you were to ask the locals, they would probably be quick to tell you that for the longest time, Barcelona lived with its back to the sea. While that’s not entirely true, Barcelona did see a dramatic degradation of its coastline during the 19th century. On top of that, the lack of infrastructure and mostly industrial seafront were not very inviting. It wasn’t until 1992 when the Olympic Games were organized that Barcelona finally went through an urban remodeling and clean-up of the coastline, resulting in the super-popular urban beaches it’s known for today. As crazy as it might sound, the sand was imported from abroad and it occasionally needs to be topped up.

🏦Barcelona has 50+ museums, covering anything from art and history to science and sports. A surprising fact is that neither the Picasso Museum nor the Joan Miró Foundation is the most visited. Instead, people seem to flock to the FC Barcelona Museum, which receives over 1.5 million visitors each year.

Ever since 1436, on April 23, Barcelona celebrates Sant Jordi’s Day (or St. George’s Day). He’s the patron saint of Catalonia and the local version of San Valentine. On this day, people exchange gifts of books and roses which apparently inspired UNESCO to create World Book Day. Coincidentally, April 23 is also the anniversary of the death of Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare.

🏔Perched high above the Carmel neighborhood at the top of Turó de la Rovira sits an unlikely beauty spot. Scattered across the hilltop are crumbling concrete bunkers, the remnants of anti-aircraft fortifications built during the Spanish Civil War in 1938 - and whilst the canons might be gone, the 360 degree, almost bird’s-eye view of the city has not. Join the locals and head up here at sunset with a bottle of wine and some nibbles for the best views of Barcelona at golden hour (or any hour, actually). You’ll be able to spot all of the city’s most famous landmarks, as well as see the ocean as it melts into the sky on the horizon - a pretty spectacular vista. And as well as the stunning views, there’s a small museum inside one of the bunkers where you can learn about their role in the war, and about their unlikely evolution into becoming a shanty town during the 40s and 50s known as The Cannons neighborhood.

🍫Check out the best churros and chocolate spot at Barcelona's hidden gem Granja La Pallaresa. This chocolate shop opened up in 1947 and has been serving traditional thick, dark hot chocolate with freshly whipped cream since. Located in the Gothic neighborhood (Barri Gótic) on a street known for its chocolate cafés, Granja La Pallaresa is not to be missed by chocolate enthusiasts. Down the road is a typical churro place called Xurreria Dels Banys Nous. Here you can pick up churros and take them into La Granja with you - they really don’t mind you bringing in churros from outside. The churros are amazing, but the shop doesn’t look much - the perfect decoy to keep tourists away! It’s one of my favorite hidden spots in Barcelona. So take the churros into the bar, choose your drinking chocolate, and soak up the secret dessert heaven.

The charming Parc del Laberint d’Horta is a unique place to spend a day away from the big city. The park is a hidden green gem of the Horta and Guinardó district. Designed in 1792 by Italian engineer Domenico Bagutti, the park is Barcelona's oldest garden, home to artistic landscape gardening; flower beds, small squares, side paths, a maze created from cypress trees, mythological sculptures, tall trees, and a waterfall, the area makes up a total of 55 hectares. The park's woodland setting and hidden corners make the perfect spot to relax. The park is also the home of the Torre Soberana; a 14th-century country house, which was restored and redecorated in the Arabesque style in the 19th century. Seeking non-touristy things to do in Barcelona? Head to Parc del Laberint d’Horta for Barcelona off the beaten path.

💋💏🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏻Hidden in a tiny square that’s literally a few minutes away from the cathedral (you’ll wonder how you didn’t stumble upon it yourself) is Barcelona’s most poignantly beautiful piece of street art. The piece, entitled ‘El Món Neix en Cada Besada' (The World Begins With Every Kiss), was originally installed as part of Barcelona’s Tricentenary celebrations, but has become such a beloved feature of the neighborhood that it was never taken down. Wander through the maze of old streets and from a distance, the mural is an intimate expression of two people kissing; get up close and you’ll see it’s made up of thousands of tiny mosaic tiles. The artist, Joan Fontcuberta, asked the readers of a local newspaper to send him photos of their own personal moments of freedom, 4000 of which were printed onto the tiny tiles and arranged according to their color density. The end result features everything from faded shots of family days at the beach to politically charged graffiti, photos of locals kissing their loved ones to snapshots of their children's birthday parties alongside the reminder inscribed on the neighboring wall that “The sound of a kiss isn’t as loud as a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer.”

The artist has said that:
“I wanted to get away from a wailing wall, I didn’t want people to come and feel sorry for themselves in front of a wall,” Fontcuberta explained to the city. “What I wanted was a wall of joy, where people see optimistic proposals for a future worth living for.”
