Travel With Me: Barcelona

What's up guys? how is going? As many of you, especially for the ones who are following me on Instagram, know that I got married and I went to Barcelona for my honeymoon. So, today's article will be a blog-vlog about my trip.

1- Visa: 

I don't know the exact procedures because my husband took care of everything. So, just check out the Spain Embassy's official website to get information.

2- Fly Ticket: 

Fly tickets usually differ in price according to seasons, companies, type of seats and stop-overs. Well, we took a direct flight from Algeirs to Barcelona with a suitable price (24000 da per person).

3- Hotel :

As fly tickets, hotels also differ according to location, seasons, stars, stuff and so on. So, my advice to you is if you find a great hotel with a wonderful price GOOOO and book it especially if you're certain about your trip duration. Guys don't make the same mistake as we did, we booked the hotel on the 1st of August and the check-in date was the 16. Well, it costs us about 120000 da (Yes I know a looot but it worth it lol) for 5 days with no breakfast option. Anyways, the hotel that we picked up was amazzzzing, it's name is Catalonia Barcelona Golf *** and it's location was amazing too (about 2km from Las Ramblas).

4- Places to Visit:

Barcelona is one of Europe's largest and greatest  city to explore, you'll have many options to see and visit. Unfortunately, you can not scout it as you want/ wish especially if you are on a budget or a short time trip. So, this what we did.

- First day: we did not do any thing special because we arrived at 7pm, so we just explored Diagonal Avenue at night and that's it.

-Second day: we decided to go to the Camp Nou in the morning and Barcelona Aquarium in the afternoon. So, this is what happened:

* We bought a T10 metro-bus-tram card that costs 10 euro (we shared together) and then we took a metro from Diagonal Avenue to Maria Cristina. We just walked for a couple of minutes and BOOM we are facing Camp Nou. The latter is an incredible stadium with an amazing view and very helpful stuff. The ticket to go visit the museum and stadium charges 25 euro for a person. All in all, it was an unbelievable experience.

* In the afternoon, we went to Barcelona Aquarium in which we explored  under the sea world and took several pictures of unbelievable kinds of fish. Then, we went to the Maremagnum Mall and unfortunately we found a lot of stores were closing because of the terrorist attack. So, we panicked a little a bit and we decided to go back to the hotel ( it took us about 1 hour and half of walking to go back, everything was closed).

- Day 3: we wanted to go to somewhere safe and far from Las ramblas/ Placa de Cataluniya attempt, so we decided to see L'illa Mall near Maria Cristina metro station. We did a huge amount of shopping especially from Primark and Lush.

- Day 4: we chose to discover more about Barcelona by touristic bus for all day. We first started with the red line and we stopped at Maremagnum station to eat the famous traditional dish Paella Marinera (the restaurant called Mirando al Mar and its Paella is totally Halal: no chicken no wine). Then, we took the blue line and saw another sights of the beautiful Barcelona.

-Day 5: our last day, we went back home :((((.

5- Tips:

- If you're a group of people, you can buy one ticket of T10 and share it together.

- There is an Aerobus which you can take it from Al Prat Barcelona airport to Placa de Cataluniya and vice versa, its charge is 5,90€ per person.

- It is a little difficult to find Halal food in Barcelona, so you have an option wether to purchase vegetarian food or Sushi.

- Keep your bag close to you because there are a lot of thieves in Barcelona. 

- If you are looking to buy cosmetics products with a good price, Barcelona is the best especially during summer sales (1st july till the end of August).
