MIDWIFE CRISIS

Ta gueule, laisse-moi finir.
La Sagrada Familia is really cool and interesting even if you aren't a fan of churches. It really is one of the strangest/prettiest buildings I've seen. Try (if possible) to go there on a sunny day, the sunlight will stream in through the stained windows and make everything multicolored. I got one of those audio guides but I turned it off after a while and just walked around and took everything in.

You do have to cover up shoulders/not wear shorts if you want to go into some of the churches, just some advice. I was stopped from going to the crypt in La Sagrada Familia because I had a sleeveless top, but fortunately a nice woman let me borrow a scarf and I could go in when I had it over my shoulders.

I really liked this guided tour I went on in the old city/Barri Gotic, but going with a guide was obviously extremely tourist-y. You can probably walk around and check out the architecture/small shops and get the same experience.

We went to the Poble Sec neighborhood for food one evening and there were a lot of small pintxos/tapas restaurants. From there we could walk to the area around Plaça d'Espana/Catalan Museum, which was really pretty at night. The magic fountain is there too, but when I was there in August 2015 it was really crowded.
