In addition to its cultural richness, with its delicious food and colorful nightlife, Barcelona is definitely at the top of the list of cities to be seen in Europe.. In this article, I will try to give information about Barcelona food and drink, Barcelona entertainment and Barcelona beaches. Delicious food to eat when you are tired of traveling, flamenco show you will watch in the evening, super fun bars & discos you will visit at night and beaches where you can lie down and laze will make your trip to Barcelona very enjoyable.
El Xampanyet, one of the famous local restaurants, is a small place, it may not be possible to find a place in crowded times.
Barcelona Food & Drink
Of course we should eat tapas and drink sangria while we’re gone The appetizer plates we are used to, called Tapas, are actually. So if you are two people, you can cheer up the table with at least 3-4 kinds of tapas.. Sangria is a fruity cocktail made with red wine, with slices of fruit in it.. I think the tomato bread with the Tapas & Sangria duo goes well.
There is the famous El Xampanyet local restaurant; but very crowded and small place. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a place when I went.. Opposite the Picasso Museum. Sparkling wine, Manchego cheese, pimientos con queso (small peppers with cheese) and pan con tomate (tomato bread) were very successful here.
Tapas, chips and sangrias are delicious, Bar Lobo is a good choice in nice weather with its outdoor tables.
Via Veneto is also a popular choice. restaurant.
Bar Del Pla‘s tapas are good, and there’s a crispy beef that’s amazing. I couldn’t resist and said the second one There is another place called La Pepita and her tapas with eggplant are especially good. I haven’t had a chance to try it.
Bar Lobo is a big place, I like the tapas here too. French fries (available in almost every restaurant called patatas bravas)) were delicious and their sangria was very good. The waiters are a little sullen, but you shouldn’t be hanging around
Crispy Beef is my favorite tapas at Bar Del Pla. Be sure to ask for the tomato bread right behind it, along with tapas in every place.
Paella, Spain’s famous dish, is especially enjoyed by seafood lovers. must try. Although the other ingredients in this dish made of rice and saffron vary, the original was seafood, I didn’t mess with it because I don’t like it very much.. Setportes restaurant is famous for its paella.
There is Kiosko, the best hamburger in the city, around Barcelona.
The Tres Tres Flores and Sub Rosa recommended places for a drink at Borri Gotic.
Hard Rock Cafe is located right in the city center so that its fans like me can access it easily.
The patisserie Hofmann, which I am very keen on but not able to go to, is also famous for its croissants.. It’s on the side of the Picasso and Chocolate museums.
The sangria of L’Ovella Negra, which is close to La Ramba, is nice.
For those who are passionate, there is Hard Rock Cafe on Plaça de Catalunya. Of course it gets very crowded and if you’re going to go, you should be willing to wait in line.. I went because I couldn’t stop eating Legendary Burger
You should definitely drink the colorful fruit juices at La Boquera, the most famous street market.
You should also visit La Boqueria, the most famous street market. Fruits, vegetables and seafood are sold in the market, which is open between 08:00 and 20:30 every day except Sunday, and there are people eating and drinking everywhere.. You should try the fresh fruit juices (especially the tropical blends that you can’t find much in Turkey) that look very interesting by arranging them in color.. The market on La Rambla can be reached by metro by getting off at the Catalunya stop.. The El Quim restaurant inside the market is famous. If you have your intention, don’t let it coincide with a Monday when it’s closed like I did
Those who don’t get along very well with sangria when it comes to liquor can turn to beer as the classic choice.. You will see and hear the word Cerveza everywhere, it means beer in Spanish
Barcelona Beaches
Most of the beaches in Barcelona are located on both sides of the Port of Barcelona (Port Olimpic). If you went between June and October, you are lucky, you can get off at the Barceloneta stop in the south and choose any of the beaches you want.. Barceloneta beach is the most popular and crowded (probably because it is closest to the metro).
To unwind on Barcelona beaches, head south of the city.
Considering that we are going up, starting from the left, the beaches are as follows: Sant Sebastia (crowded), Barceloneta (crowded) ), Playa del Paseo Maritimo or Llevant (very crowded). Now we’re in Port Olimpic, we’re going to the other side. Nova Icaria (few crowded, water sports are available), Bogatell (calm and beautiful – Bogatell stop on the subway), Mar Bella (gay – lesbian population) and nudity is common) and Nova Mar Bella (calm but elderly population, water sports are practiced).
“Let me be surrounded, even If you say “it would be great if I meet someone,” you can choose the crowded ones, if you say “No, I’ll just go to the sea and relax”, you can choose the calm ones.. “Hello massaaaagee??” the slanted-eyed sisters who insist on giving a massage and the brothers “Cola, fanta, cerveza, beer” that pass every second will not give you any comfort, but try to enjoy it anyway
I chose to watch the flamenco show in a small hall instead of the opera house, with food and drink, and I was very satisfied.
Barcelona Flamenco Show
I think you should definitely go to the Flamenco show and watch this beautiful dance in the land of its birth.. The first option is to go to the opera house Palau de la Musica and buy tickets, there are usually flamenco shows. You can check the program on the website, prices start around 20 Euros.. Of course, considering that the 20 Euro seat is far from the stage and you can’t see much of the dance, it may be necessary to buy tickets from higher categories, that is, more expensive.
The flamenco show was very important to me and I chose one of them. I was determined to choose. After a lot of research, I finally decided to go to a place that offers food + show, which costs about the same price as watching a show in an opera house in a good place.. The best ones are Palacio del Flamenco near Casa Mila and Tablao Flamenco Cordobes on La Rambla street.
If you like flamenco dance like me, I recommend the food + show program at Palacio del Flamenco.
I go to Palacio del Flamenco I went and loved it! You choose one of the sessions for the food and show and buy a ticket for the menu you want at the door, and after the one-hour meal, the one-hour show starts.. I chose the menu that I likened to sautéed chicken and it was delicious.. The price of the menu, which was given as food, drink and dessert, was 60 Euros.. Yes, it’s a bit expensive, but I liked the show so much that I think it was worth it On the website, which also has a Turkish option, you can choose a session first and then see the menus and prices.. Here. If you think it’s enough to just watch the show at the most affordable price, take out the meal part, buy tickets to the show + drink option with prices starting from 35 Euro.
I chose Shoko, one of the clubs lined up in the Barcelonata area.
Barcelona Entertainment & Nightlife
Barcelona’s nightlife starts to come alive after midnight unlike many other cities in Europe. I think they owe siesta sleep to be able to hang out with such full energy until late hours But one of the most important reasons why Barcelona is an entertainment capital is this activity that continues until the morning.
On crowded days like Friday and Saturday, it may be possible to go in before 12pm and get a nice table, but don’t go too early to avoid boredom.
A few shots at Espit Chupitos can be good before we start the night.
Since discos and bars come to life late in Barcelona entertainment life, of course, by that hour we won’t sit idly by. Of course, there is an alternative to go to the venue early and eat there, but why spend the whole evening in the same place when there are so many places in the city? Let’s see what we can do before the nightclub.
The heart of entertainment in Barcelona, of course, beats on the famous La Rambla street. This is a very lively street, especially in the evening, with cafes, museums, shopping places and street musicians.. A little warning, don’t believe and try to make money playing cards on the street.. Winners are also part of the show, if you play you will lose. Wander around La Rambla Street a bit, and you’ll find places just like you’re looking for on the street.
Barri GoticBarri Gotic as both a place to see and a place of entertainment in Barcelona. Surrounded by Gothic architecture and considered the center of the old town, this area has street performers, live performances, cafes – restaurants – bars, souvenirs, but after a certain time there are more drug dealers.. It can be reached on foot from the Barceloneta or Liceu metro stations.
The night is just beginning in Barcelona Shoko.
As the real fun time approaches, it might be good to take a few shots first, definitely stop by Espit Chupitos. There are more than one of these shot bars in the city that look like a real student venue, check which one is on your way.. Then get a taste of the delicious shots served with various shows for 2 Euros
Yes, it’s time. Now we can choose a nightclub for ourselves. Since the Barceloneta region is on the beach, it is known for its bars and clubs as well as its beaches, most of the clubs are next to each other.. Between Opium, Shoko, Pacha, CDLC (Carpe Diem Lounge Club) and Cat Walk, I was recently undecided between CDLC and Shoko and entered Shoko. There is even an ice bar called Icebar next to Shoko for those who want to try a different place.. They give coats to avoid cold, but I’m still not sure, you can try. By the way, Icebar’s entrance is paid.
Entertainment at Barcelona Boulevard..
Boulevard (BLV), Razzmatazz, Sutton, Moog, Mojito, Otto Zutz clubs are also well-known clubs in the city. Moog is recommended especially if you like electronic music, I didn’t try it because I don’t like it. It was the easiest for me as the boulevard is right on La Rambla street so I went there. The entrance fee of 10 Euros includes a drink, but they did not charge me the entrance fee and gave me my drink ticket directly
I recommend both Shoko on the beach and Boulevard on La Rambla If you like to dance, you will definitely have fun.. As I said at the beginning, it is up to you to set the most appropriate time on the fine line between going early and being bored and going late and not being able to get in the crowd.. The first night I went to Shoko’s at midnight, the songs and all that was so fab. When it was 2 o’clock, the place just started to get crowded and it’s time to break up It was also fun that they gave fog and confetti inside from time to time.. Boulevard was similar. By the way, beer prices range from 5 to 8 euros.
Good news for men; There are no strict and strange rules in discos, such as no rooftops, I saw very crowded groups of men inside.. These men go to the girls they have caught sight of and start chatting without thinking too much, but I haven’t seen any tomato paste enough to disturb them.. We can say that the dress in the places is medium stylish, there is no need for high-heeled shoes or flip-flops.. For those who say I’m a man of nights, they can’t do without going to all the clubs, they made a Party Nightlife Card in order not to wait in line and pay the entrance fee, you can have a hell of a night by buying it from this address
