Barcelona:Tibidabo

You can also go to the church Tibidabo on the highest hill for an afternoon.
Tibidabo is an emblematic location in the city of Barcelona since it is the highest point of the city and because it exists in everyone's memory as a leisure reference.
Tibidabo, with a clear horizon over the sea and the straight lines of the streets in the Eixample district that link the mountain with the historic centre.
The fact that Tibidabo has existed for over one hundred years means that almost everybody is aware of it. As an amusement park, Tibidabo has an offer that combines virtually all the different types of key attractions within the sector, some of which are far from being state of the art models, while others far exceed what is on offer in other parks within our sector in terms of quality, age and originality.
You can take an open tram up to station de funicular, you drive through a very expensive and beautiful neighbourhood, you cross expensive and massive houses. There you can go with another tram. This tram can draw you up to the highest point of the mountain to the church.
And before you go to Tibidabo with the funicular, you can sit there on terrace with the view over Barcelona, the cafe/restaurant is called La Venta. On the same small square you can also go out in a bar Mirablau, the Catalans and tourists come here to dance on bad top 40 music. But it is very sociable and you have a complete and beautiful view over barcelona. At night you can see all the twinkling lights of the city.

Barcelona: Local suggestions from Mahrou

El Raval is the upcoming place to be in Barcelona. In the past El Raval considered to be an unsafe neighbourhood, but at the moment it is a trendy, nice and safe place to go. There are going to be more and more nice restaurants and clubs. Local Tip from Mahrou: Zelig, a nice bar at calle Carme owned by Dutch owners.

A tour in a boat is still very nice, especially when you bring your own beers secretly.
Especially the cheapest boat because this boat is going to wonderful world of the container harbor. This is according by Mahrou a really nice and funny tour.

Mahrou told us that there is a more expensive but very good restaurant in the tower of the cable car. This restaurant is located on the most Southern point of the beach of Barceloneta,here you also have a complete beautiful view over barcelona.
Last but not least:
There is no better way to discover the city, than walking or by bike. Leave the touristic bus behind and discover the city yourself.
