Travel Tips #4 | Barcelona

The 99% of you already visited Barcelona at least a couple of times, and if you didn’t, well, either you never left your house or you are under one year old.

Plus, with all the distractions caused by la vida loca it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ve seen it all. Here there are some architectural tips that you can easily make yours by renting a bike and start riding.

Plus, there are lots of fun things happening just outside the city. One of that is the Vida Festival, amazing location, great music and expensive beers. You couldn’t ask for more, literally.
