There are not enough words in the English Dictionary to describe how amazing Barcelona is and I don't know Spanish so I'll do my best. From the culture to the streets and the nightlife, Spain can be best described as the South Beach of Europe. A full calculated 6 days ( I went for 2 days in 2011 and 4 days in 2019) gave me all the time I needed to experience the best parts and pieces of Spain known as Barcelona ( I haven't even gotten to Ibiza yet). The Spa and rooftop drink experience at the (Members only content location) (see photos below) was fit for a queen and the views were even more enviable. Shopping and dinner is best done at Las Ramblas in the city center and you can grab some great souvenirs here ( something I did both times I was here) but also not to far from this location and worth the visit is the Casa Batllo Gaudi a beautiful artwork of a building. The second best club experience I've had anywhere can be found at the W hotel Barcelona near the beach...this area my friends is the heartland of Barcelona and if you can pull it off to stay at this hotel I highly recommend it. Unless you have table service the line can be quite long and you can be waiting for quite some time to actually get in but once you are in you are greeted by multiple rooms of great music (mostly hip-hop, house and top 40). The Hotel sits right on the beach and the club is right at the top so the views below are unmatched and you can look out directly into the ocean from the floor to ceiling windows. After hitting the W the end of my trip was also the cherry on the cake by nabbing a spot at (Members only content location) on the beach boardwalk. This is no easy task (getting reservations anywhere on the boardwalk) so expect to put your name in 45-60 mins ahead of time to get seated. Lastly, drinks at P41 at the (Members only content location) were the best I've had in all of Europe and I don't say that lightly (check out the birdcage drink photo below).
General Consensus- If you're looking for fun, relaxation, good vibes, good food, good beach....hell Barcelona is the total package when it comes to vacation experience. This city should absolutely be on your travel Hitlist and by itself will be everything you hoped for in a euro-getaway.
