Barcelona

Post-arrival fuel: modern tapas like the bikini (ham & cheese) and fried eggs. Casual standing/sit vibe fits moderate pace.

Gaudí's bone-like facade and dragon roof — interior light effects and architecture details. Timed ticket recommended.

10-min walk north. Wavy stone facade, rooftop chimneys, apartment exhibit — quintessential Modernisme architecture.

Gaudí's organic spires and symbolic interior — climb tower if pace allows. Core architecture anchor.

Fresh seafood self-select market — weigh and grill on-site. Authentic Catalan food experience.

Domènech i Montaner's hospital pavilions — stained glass, domes, gardens. Underrated architecture gem.

3-Michelin-star innovation on Catalan ingredients — theatrical dishes for food-focused couple.

Vibrant market architecture + food stalls: jamón, pinchos, fresh juices. Graze for breakfast bites.

Gothic nave, cloister geese legend, rooftop views — contrast to Modernisme.

Modernist cafe in Gothic Quarter — Picasso's haunt; escudella stew or pa amb tomàquet.
