Welcome to 48 hours in Barcelona!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"If](\"https:\/\/assets.devourtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/48-hours-in-Barcelona-1.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIt’s not always easy packing a two-thousand-year-old city into two days but you can try! Read on for some tips on how to do Barcelona in a jiffy! Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a stop-through during a much longer trip, make sure to enjoy the beautiful city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7 pm: Gain your bearings, from above<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When you’ve just touched down on in a new urban environment, a great place to start is with 360 views of the city! However, don’t forget you need a map in hand. The Barcel\u00f3 Raval Hotel<\/a> (Rambla de Raval, 17-21<\/em>) has a circular rooftop terrace boasting fantastic views of all of Barcelona. From the sea to the mountains, from the Sagrada Familia to Montjuic\u2014it’s all there and will most likely take your breath away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n9 pm: Dine like the locals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Whether it’s a late lunch, a late dinner, or all the ca\u00f1as <\/em>and coffees in between, you haven’t got much time to get stuck at a tourist trap! After you’ve seen the bird’s eye view, head south on La Rambla de Raval towards the sea. Marvel at the lively street life of this diverse neighborhood. Eventually, end up at Ca\u00f1ete<\/a> (Carrer de la Uni\u00f3<\/em>) for some stellar tapas and one of the most locally-adored restaurants in town. Depending on your mood, go for the blue or the red awning. The blue is reserved for the barra<\/em>, a 17-meter long bar perfect for casually snacking on tapas in a lively atmosphere. While the red is reserved for mantel, <\/em>tablecloth, a quieter and more formal area. Full of softer lights, perfectly set tables, and of course, white tablecloths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Enjoy](\"https:\/\/assets.devourtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bombas-in-Barcelona-tapas-tour-1.jpg\")
Make sure to try the delicious Bomba Barcelona. The first tapa created in Catalonia!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n12 am: Have a drink or two<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Cocktails<\/a> are generally reserved for after-dinner drinks in Spain. Many people sometimes erroneously believe in their digestive properties. The trendiest drink at the moment would be a gintonic. <\/em>Whether or not you’re a fan of the stuff, don’t miss out on the incredibly cool Negroni<\/a> (Joaqin Costa, 46<\/em>). They are famous for their expertise on the subjects of cocktails. They don’t have a menu but you can tell the mixologist a bit about your tastes, and he will take care of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n10 am: Breakfast of champions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We’re huge fans of the bubbly breakfasts in Barcelona! For a truly special experience, don’t miss out on Can Paixano<\/a> (Carrer de la Reina Cristina, 7<\/em>). It’s an age-old bar tucked away on a small pedestrian street between La Barceloneta<\/a> and the Born. They specialize in two things here: bocadillos<\/i> and cava<\/em>, no other than the delicious Spanish sparkling wine. Soak in the lively Barcelona-style brunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"48](\"https:\/\/assets.devourtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-11.png\")
Don’t miss out on their famous pink cava!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n12 pm: Stroll along Port Vell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Port Vell is the old port of Barcelona. It houses some of the city’s most spectacular marine fare! Think fancy sails to traditional fishing boats, not to mention the always lively scene between the artesian product stands and entertainers. The views are also priceless<\/a>, and of course, when you arrive at the Barceloneta beach, you will most definitely want a picture of the W Hotel! It’s a modern building that imitates a sail bursting with the wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2:30 pm: Finally\u2014paella (or fideua!) time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You’ve strolled up and down La Barceloneta and are starting to work up an appetite. The old fishermen’s neighborhood is packed with awesome spots to enjoy one of Spain’s most delicious treats.<\/a> Furthermore, a few notable ones would be Maians<\/a> (Carrer Sant Carles, 28<\/em>), where not only is the paella incredible but also the arroz negro<\/em>, squid ink rice that is hugely popular among Spaniards. If you’re looking for a rice with a view, try Can Maj\u00f3<\/a> (Carrer Almirall Aixada, 23<\/em>). Go local with a fideua<\/em><\/a>, a noodle version of paella that will surely knock your socks off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
