It’s possible that you’ve dreamt about the city of Barcelona, for the city of Gaudi is a place of wonder, medieval neighbourhoods, unique museums, beaches, artisanal shops and more …

For all the creative minds in search of inspiration, the Catalonian city’s famed architecture might be the perfect source for it. You have a wealth of places where you can find the architect’s work: Casa Batlo, Casa Mila- La Pedrera, and the famously unfinished la Basilica de la Sagrada Familia.

The place that has the most authentic tangible energy for me is Park Güell. Designed by Gaudí for Count Eusebi Güell, the park features his signature-mosaic tiles and modernist sculptures.

And if you really want to experience Barcelona’s culture and local food there are several incredible bars and restaurants you do not want to miss.

For a unforgettable “get away” experience, you’ll may want to choose a unique place to stay overnight. Places with an incredible design and ambiance are perfect for resting and reflecting on the beauty you see in the city. Among a myriad of places there are a few who are famed for their greatness, such as Casa Bonay, Margot House and the incredible, one-of-a-kind El Palauet.

El Palauet Living Barcelona has an amazing collection of six minimal apartments, gathered all in a building designed by Pere Falqués in 1906. The interior has a refined balance between the old and the new, clean lines, monochromatic colors and fine furniture by Eames, Saarinen & Van der Rohe.
