But there are innovative ways the non-European can have a memorable time in Barcelona.
You can sight-see by foot and at fantastically AFFORDABLE prices ride the metro or bus.
You can also enjoy seeing Picasso’s original paintings at the Picasso Museum (apropos, eh?) where the entrance fee is waived on the first Sunday of every month.

Or, before you dare to shop at the Mare Magnum you can take photos of the famous monumento de Colón that stands as a tribute to Christopher Columbus. The base of the monument is flanked by 4 lions, 2 on each side.
It is here your children are free to bravely climb these huge statues like the big grown-up shown in the photo.
And while the kiddies are enjoying themselves you can sit on the steps, enjoy the view, the locals and other tourists.
Enjoy!!

Wrong lion.
Just a small cat from Barcelona relaxing the way most BIG CATS with 2 legs and not of the female gender would like to rest.
Barcelona is a remarkable city. It has everything one can ever dream of: great people, amazing weather, beautiful architecture, history, great artists, tasty food and that essence a city need to be just perfect. Barcelona is a world itself. From the beautiful Barri Gotic to the incredible Sagrada Familia, the city never sleeps, glowing every second of every minute. The Ramblas are the heart of Barcelona, arousing its character and spreading it all over the place.This is definitely a city to remember, a city to enjoy and a city to discover.
