🌆🕍 Weekend Getaway in Barcelona: Gothic Quarter Charm 🏛️🌙

#hellohalloween 📍 Location: Barcelona, Spain Beyond its modernist icons, Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic) is a labyrinth of medieval beauty, perfect for a weekend wander. 🚶♀️ Things to Do: Begin at Barcelona Cathedral, with its intricate Gothic spires. Lose yourself in narrow alleys opening onto sunlit squares like Plaça del Rei and Plaça Reial, lined with arcades and palm trees. Visit the Roman walls and hidden courtyards, where centuries of history unfold. By evening, enjoy street music under lantern-lit balconies. 🥖 What to Eat: The Gothic Quarter is filled with tapas bars and cafés. Try bombas (potato croquettes), grilled sardines, or churros dipped in thick hot chocolate. 💡 Savings Tip: Entry to Barcelona Cathedral is free in the mornings and evenings outside mass times. Walking tours (self-guided with a map) uncover hidden gems at no cost. 🌆 Highlights: Cobblestone alleys, gothic arches, palm-framed plazas, and lanterns glowing at night. ✨ A weekend in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter feels like stepping back in time. Would you wander its medieval streets? 🌙🕍 #barcelona #weekendgetaway #gothicquarter #architecturetravel #spainhistory
