Mercado, museu, parc

frutas tocineria nuts and dried fruits
Sensory overload at Boqueria, the market near La Rambla. Resist the temptation to touch the fruits! Go deeper to find the refreshing €1 fruit shakes, just the thing for a hot Spanish summer.

In front of the Catedral is an antiques market. As they say, one man's trash...

The Museum Nacional d'Art de Catalunya(MNAC) is housed in a lovely building on hilly Montjuïc. The Romanesque section, which has a number of murals built into the building itself, is beautiful.

While on the hill, take the bus to Castell Montjuïc, passing by the Olympic stadium. The vistas of both the city and the port area are worth the trip.

In the evening, the Musical Fountain in front of MNAC becomes really colorful and stunning, drawing huge crowds.
