    Visit Park G\u00fcell<\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Whether or not you’re a fan of architecture, the psychedelic Park G\u00fcell is most definitely worth visiting. Designed by the one and only Antoni Gaud\u00ed,<\/a>\u00a0this beautiful area is a must-see in Barcelona. The original idea of Park G\u00fcell as an idyllic, self-serving community right outside the city was commercially unsuccessful and has since been converted into municipal gardens. Its bizarre nature and hallucinatory effects are well-worth the hike up. For families traveling with children<\/a>, pack a picnic and spend the day exploring its hidden charms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    <\/span>Experience the Festa Major de Gracia<\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Each neighborhood in Barcelona celebrates its own festival during one week of the year, but none can compare to the famous\u00a0Festa Major de Gracia<\/a>. Held each August, the festival is a huge street party of concerts, street-stalls and a general eat, drink and be merry atmosphere. Weeks beforehand, the neighbors get together to convert the streets into a spectacular wonder of themed decorations. This is a must-see event that makes the whole neighborhood seem like a dreamy escape from the city.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
