Last Minute Trip to Barcelona

First of all I want to start this blog post with an apology. Recently, I have been lacking in motivation and inspiration, hence the lack of blog posts I have been uploading. I am happy to say I have recharged my batteries and now eagar to dive back into blogging. So I should have more content coming a little more regularly.
I’ve wanted to visit Barcelona for a while now, not just for the renowned shopping attractions but to see the cultural sights, so me and my friend Naomi booked a last minute flight for 3 days. Before we travelled to Barcelona I looked up a few tourist attractions that I particularly wanted to visit, we unfortunately didn’t have the time to see all of them but we crammed in as much as we could.
The stayed at the Barcelona Princess Hotel, it had spectacular views of the city and a rooftop pool.

We went to the main beach in Barcelona where the sand ran all the way down to the marina. The marina was particularly upmarket with expensive bars, restaurants and clubs.
The next day we decided to go into Barcelona centre and visit the ‘Gothic Quarter’ and ‘La Rambla’ to do a little shopping. We saw Barcelona Cathedral which was incredible, yet to be finished but recognised for its architectural beauty.
Of course when we got to La Rambla we did a little shopping! Our first port of call was Sephora, me and Naomi well and truly took advantage of being able to buy Sephora products (seen as we don’t have one at home).
Sephora haul coming soon!

On our last full day we went to Park Güell, I had seen pictures of this place on Instagram before and thought it looked beautiful. When we arrived we were disappointed to discover you can only enter the main park between 8am-9am and 8pm-9pm. We quickly realised it wasn’t completely necessary to buy a ticket to see the beautiful ornament creations, there was a public park that overlooked the premises with glorious scenery.

I loved my mini break to Barcelona and would advise anyone to take a trip there, whether it is to see the sights or do some shopping its a beautiful location. If I was to go again I would probably stay for 4 days, I felt there was so much more we could have seen but simply didn’t have the time.
