🏛️ We recently visited the latest addition to the museum scene in Barcelona: White Rabbit Off Museum.

😄 Bang in Passeig de Gràcia and very near Casa Batlló, it is a lovely interactive experience to get an introduction to some of the Catalan traditions.

📷 Take a peek at the photographs. We had lots of fun.

🎟️ But there's more. Use the promo code RUNNERBEAN10 and you'll get a 10% discount on the price of the ticket!

A great night visit to Casa Vicens. This is Gaudí's first house and a delight for the eyes. An unmissable place that should be in your must-do list if you are a fan of the architect.
Yes, we do offer private tours there if you want to get away from the crowds.
Thank you for the fantastic evening and food 😊

⛪ The Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor (or Church of the Sacred Heart) is one of the landmarks of Barcelona.

✨ You can see it lit at night whenever you look up Collserola Mountain.

📐 Designed by Enric Sagnier and built between 1902 and 1961, it is located just beside Tibidabo's Amusement Park.

😱 This photo was taken from the highest attraction of the park: the iconic "Atalaya".

🥚We enjoyed watching the egg dancing on top of Barcelona's fountains last weekend.

💧This year, only a few of them were running due to the severe draught.

⛲ But we caught it at the cloister of Barcelona's Cathedral, where the tradition of the "Ou com balla" started as a celebration for Corpus Christi.
