🏛️🌴 Weekend Getaway in Barcelona: Roman Roots & Hidden Gems 🏺🌿

#hellohalloween 📍 Location: Barcelona, Spain Barcelona’s architectural story began long before Gaudí — and a weekend here lets you uncover its Roman and medieval layers. 🚶♀️ Things to Do: Start in the Gothic Quarter, where hidden beneath narrow alleys you’ll find Roman walls and the Temple of Augustus with its ancient columns. Visit Plaça del Rei, once the heart of medieval Barcelona, then step inside the Barcelona History Museum (MUHBA) to see Roman streets preserved underground. Don’t miss quiet courtyards like Plaça de Sant Felip Neri, where history whispers through every stone. 🥘 What to Eat: Grab tapas in a Gothic Quarter tavern — try bombas, anchovies, and Catalan cheeses. End with a glass of vermouth, a local favorite. 💡 Savings Tip: Exploring Roman walls and medieval squares is free. MUHBA offers combined tickets if you want to see multiple archaeological sites. 🌆 Highlights: Ancient columns tucked in courtyards, gothic arches above palm-lined plazas, and centuries of history blending seamlessly. ✨ A weekend in Barcelona isn’t just Gaudí — it’s a journey through 2,000 years of architecture. Would you step back in time here? 🏛️🌿 #barcelona #weekendgetaway #architecturetravel #romanhistory #spainvibes
