I went to Barcelona in July with my mum. These are quite late but I've been looking at so many blogs lately I felt inspired to post more often.
Monument a Colom. It's only a few Euros to go to the top and the views are spectacular.

Mercat de La Boqueria

The seafront is wonderful. Barcelona is a great mix of city and beach, an ideal compromise if you can't decide what kind of trip you fancy.
Market in Placa de la Sau
This amazing Baileys pudding was the highlight of our meal at one of the vegetarian restaurants we were really excited about. It was called Restaurante Sesamo, and although it was fairly priced our mains were a bit disappointing. I had a mushroom curry and my mum had a pastry. It was actually really hard to find veggie food in Barcelona, partly because most of the restaurants only sell seafood and partly because so many places literally had no options on their menus. That was quite a shock coming from the UK where everywhere has at least one vegetarian meal on offer, even if it is only a lifeless vegetable lasagne or an uninspiring baked potato.
Parc Guell. You might recognise it was it was one of the finale catwalks on America's Next Top Model. That show was my guilty pleasure when I was at school.
Parc Guell was my favourite place to visit in Barcelona. The Picasso Museum was also brilliant, but expensive and crowded which might not be everyone's cup of tea.
Overall, Barcelona is a wonderful city. The perfect location if your travel partner fancies a beach holiday and you want a city break. You will have plenty of time to see the highlights if you stay for three nights.
