Once we've acquired the passes, we'll make our way to the Airbnb and begin unpacking. If time permits, we can take a look around the local area, visit Baqaria Market to purchase the necessary groceries for dinner, and get to know one another before embarking on our exciting adventure the following day.

Sagrada Família

Day 2-3
Our plan is to wake up early and prepare breakfast before heading to the famous Sagrada Familia. Upon arrival, we will download the audio guide app on our smartphones by following the instructions on our tickets. This will allow us to enjoy 45 minutes of audio content while exploring the Basilica at our own pace. Next, we will make our way to the Arco de Triunfo de Barcelona, a classical archway built by the city in 1888. We will then take a stroll to the Cascada del Parc de la Ciutadella, which features a central Venus statue from the early 19th century park. After exploring all that the park has to offer, we will head down to Pg. del born, a long stretch of markets, bars, and medieval architecture.

Additionally, we can admire the most representative artists of Catalan modernism such as Gaudi or Casas, gothic art, great European Renaissance, and Baroque painters. After exploring everything the museum has to offer, we will visit a local grocery store to grab some snacks before heading to "MUHBA Turo de la Rovira". This location offers panoramic views of the entire city of Barcelona from old Spanish Civil War Bunkers that were installed with anti-aircraft guns.
