Last night in Barcelona, of course a night on the town was in order. We didn’t fly out till 2pm so there was no stress about an early morning flight. After the fanciest tapas I’ve ever seen, we settled in a cool little bar a gorged on cocktails. La Ribera became my favourite area in the city with all the cool little bars it’s filled … Continue reading No We’re Not Going Home Tonight
On our last day in Barcelona we explored Montjuic, the hill which our hotel was on. It’s home to the Olympic Park from 1992 and the MNAC, modern art gallery and Montjuic park. The leafy surroundings are beautiful and a refreshing change to the hot and busy city. I knew I had to have this little Lavish Alice dress the moment I saw it. The … Continue reading Barcelona- I’m Sure Giraffe’s on the Fly do it
With so many options on where to stay in Barcelona I thought I’d share a little post on my hotel. Hotel Miramar is a gorgeous 1920’s building restored and extended into a 5* hotel, nestled in the beautiful Montjuic hill. The hotel effortlessly mixes the traditional building and grounds with modern interior. The spa and outdoor pool are divine and something you don’t … Continue reading Barcelona – Hotel Miramar
This is perhaps the epitome of a holiday dress, short, sunset print and body con. I’m not sure I could wear it in Glasgow but it was favourite while I was in Barcelona. I kept the rest simple, you don’t need much else with that print. Gold accessories to compliment the almost tan and flat sandals, trust me heels are not needed in Barcelona. … Continue reading The Sunset Glow
Is there a more European way to see a city than on a bicycle? I don’t think so. We cheated a bit and hired electric bikes from our hotel, you still need to peddle but you can turn power on if you need it. We needed it to get up the hill to our hotel on the way home but also to have a little … Continue reading Barcelona – I Want to Ride my Bicycle
Parc Guell is always pretty high on the list of things to do in Barcelona. As a result it’s always packed with tourists and originally wasn’t high on my list of places to see. When I saw some pictures of the Dr Seuss-esque buildings I had to take a wee peek though. After perfectly arranging Sagrada Familia we totally messed up with Parc Guell. Entry … Continue reading Barcelona – Can We Climb This Mountain
On our first full day the heavens opened, seriously the rain was worse than Glasgow. We ventured down Las Ramblas, with the help of a hotel umbrella, but with the rain bouncing off the ground and it was no day for exploring. We found a cute little restaurant and stuffed out faces with tapas and wine instead. Given the weather it was the perfect day … Continue reading Barcelona – Take Me to the Church
First day and I have an almighty headache. I got little bit excited last night and may have had a few too many vino’s. I’m already in love with Barcelona after a little dinner and drinks just off Las Ramblas last night. My hotel is pretty awesome too, looks like it will be a good holiday. I went with this stripey combo for travelling. It … Continue reading Barcelona
