The sun shines over Barcelona even in the winter months and there are endless reasons to love this incredible city. Here are some of our favorite spots to explore, stay, eat, drink, photograph and more.
H10 Cubik
We just discovered the H10 Hotels brand and we are in love. located in the heart of Barcelona, just a few feet away from the cathedral and the city’s historic center, while also maintaining a modern aesthetic, housed in a modern building. The views are stunning from both the comfortable and super clean rooms and their gorgeous rooftop, Attik Terrace rooftop. The vibe felt young and fresh here and not stuffy. I highly recommend a room with a balcony facing the city.
H10 Casa Mimosa
For a more mature vibe, H10 Casa Mimosa is refined luxury but also inviting and not stuffy as well. Housed in a listed 19th-century Modernist building and located on the same block as the La Pedrera building (also, with epic views of it from their rooftop and pool!). We stayed in the Deluxe Garden room which also had majestic views of the garden and La Pedrera.
Markets
- Mercat Santa Caterina: My favorite market as it’s Less chaotic than La Boquería, and still lively and vibrant
- La Boqueria is the best-known market in Barcelona and has become somewhat of a tourist attraction thanks to its location on the bustling La Rambla
