Barrio Gotico, Barcelona

You have no idea where you are among the intertwining, medieval streets. But it’s certainly fairly impressive. The lower half of the Barrio Gótico is packed with history and character.

You’ve got to a big square with terraces and huge palm trees? Welcome to the Plaza Reial, the beating heart of the bohemian Gótico. Some parts around here can be pretty lively at night. From trendy sushi-bars and fine dining to alternative indie dens. It’s all happening. By day, lose yourself in the warren of ancient narrow streets.
