Honeymoon in Barcelona!

unstoppable6t2

Hi All,

Me and my wife are going to Barcelona for 6 days in July - it's for our honeymoon so it's not going to be a full-on site seeing trip however we do want to spend at least a couple of days site seeing and exploring the culture.

Looking for suggestions on must see sites, places to go, things to do. Anything specifically good for couples to visit for an a romantic break?

We'll be staying in a fairly central hotel.

Thanks!

The fountains light show thingy.

As richard says there is the magic fountain, you could see the sights by horse and carriage you can find them at the bottom of Las Ramblas at Portal de la Pau

Take her for a tour of the Nou Camp very romantic.

Nice restaurants by the Olympic Marina

Watch out for pick pockets.

The No. 1 do-not-miss sight in Barca is the Sagrada Familia, it's quite jaw-dropping.

The trip up to Tibidabo is funky and fun, especially the lovely old tram car thingy. The view when you get there is magnificent, on a clear day you can see Monserrat and the Pyrenees, although there's not much else there unless you like fun-fairs.

On a honeymoon you could while away an hour or three at lunchtime having a paella on the beachside at La Barcelonetta, then take the cable car across the harbour to Montjuic.

Parc Guell is weird and well worth a visit, although horribly crowded at high summer.

Thanks for all the great ideas.

Any suggestions on particular cafe and restaurants? Breakfast is included at hotel but we'll be making own arrangements for lunch/dinner.

Any suggestions for a nice restaurant for a romantic dinner?

Thanks.

claire21 - that sounds like a great idea - like the idea of sipping a drink and enjoying high altitude views. I'll check out the links '

Any other suggestions or particular restaurants or cafes folks?

I've always wanted to go to a cafe in spain that has live guitar performance (even better if it's flamenco guitar performance).. anyone know of any cafe like that preferably open air?
