Barcelona on a budget

September 5, 2018February 9, 2022 Emily

There’s no use hiding it, Barcelona is not a cheap city–Spain-speaking. Yes, compared to the UK or pretty much any other city in western Europe, Barcelona is still cheaper, but being a tourist here can get pricey pretty quickly. Take … Continue reading Barcelona on a budget

Why you should see the Costa Brava this winter

March 8, 2018November 8, 2021 Emily

After a whirlwind 48 hours on the beautiful Costa Brava with two even more beautiful friends of mine, I have officially decided that winter time is the best time to visit this treasure of north-east Spain. Yup. I said it. The … Continue reading Why you should see the Costa Brava this winter

February 6, 2018November 8, 2021 Emily

Alright my dear readers, this post is officially over a year in the making. It was, in fact, one of the first posts I planned to write when I started this little baby of mine just under a year ago. … Continue reading The only guide to brunch in Barcelona you’ll ever need.

The question of Catalan independence on the eve of a revolution

October 9, 2017November 8, 2021 Emily

DISCLAIMER: I don’t often write about politics, and have never done it on the blog. But considering the current political turmoil, I have more people asking me if they should cancel their trip to Barcelona out of safety concerns, than … Continue reading The question of Catalan independence on the eve of a revolution

10 things you need to know about Barcelona

September 17, 2017February 9, 2022 Emily

Barcelona is a city constantly toeing the line between being Spanish or European. (Yes, I’m aware that it is technically both–for now anyway–but stay with me.) The Spanish side being all, beers-on-beers-on-tapas-on-beers in a small, sunny plaza, and the European … Continue reading 10 things you need to know about Barcelona

10 spots you can’t miss on the Costa Brava

July 21, 2017November 8, 2021 Emily

I have been to a lot of Spanish beaches in my day. And to be honest each one of them is gorgeous in its own way. The extensive beaches of Cádiz, the rocky and virgin coves in Alméria, the dramatic … Continue reading 10 spots you can’t miss on the Costa Brava

Where to see films in their original language in Barcelona

April 30, 2017November 8, 2021 Emily

One of the things I most often point to when someone brings up the topic that Spanish people have a difficult time speaking English, or at least imitating the accent properly, is their movies and TV programs. To be specific, … Continue reading Where to see films in their original language in Barcelona

Palo Alto market in Barcelona

March 6, 2017November 8, 2021 Emily

I still remember my first time at Palo Alto Market. Maybe because it was only two years ago. This market is still just a baby in the history of Barcelona markets, but in a short amount of time it has become … Continue reading Palo Alto market in Barcelona

10 bars you need to try in Barcelona

March 3, 2017November 8, 2021 Emily

I’ve always been an easy going drinker. No cocktails with ten different ingredients that get set on fire for me. If you were to talk to 20-24-year-old me, she would tell you her drink of choice was rum or vodka … Continue reading 10 bars you need to try in Barcelona
