Barcelona. Part 4.

Market.

You will find municipal food markets in Barcelona. Barcelona's first cover markets were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Some of them have great architectual value.The one we went was very close to Las Ramblas.You can buy in there high quality fresh and also seasonal products.

Flamenco.

Tarantos, Placa Reial.We heard that it's the best flamenco in Barcelona...and we agree...it was very good.We saw "A media Luz" you can go every day and see something different. There are 7 performances per week. Various stories. Ticket -8 euros

The Casa Mila by Gaudi.

-Gaudi's most famous civil building. Some of the Gaudi's buidings are not normally open to the public, but this one is... but you will have to pay 15 euros to get in.Great view from the top.
