										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Barcelona is the biggest city of Catalonia and the second largest city of Spain, with around 1,6 million inhabitants. Barcelona is a historic, but also a modern, city with famous architecture, nice bars, the best food and a lot of parties. Ideal for students to make a city trip Barcelona!</p>
<h2>City trip Barcelona the perfect get away</h2>
<p>Barcelona is a perfect city to go to for a city trip. With Transavia you can fly for a small price and you won’t have to wonder what to do in this city. In this article there will be several options to seed/do in Barcelona. Don’t hesitate and convince your friends, boy/girlfriend or your family to do a city trip Barcelona and discover your inner Spaniard.</p>
<h3>1) The typical tourist route:</h3>
<p>We think you have heard from Gaudi before. The famous Catalan architect which designed the Sagrada Familia and the Park Güell. These famous works of Gaudi are visited by every tourist but it’s definitely worth it. Both works are the symbols of Barcelona. A ticket for the Sagrada Familia costs around the 15 euros on the internet. We recommend to buy the ticket online if you want to take a look inside before the trip because it’s cheaper, you can skip the queue, and sometimes if it is too busy they stop selling tickets at the location. To visit the Park Güell the ticket prices are around the 10 euros. We recommend the same thing with these tickets, it’s better to buy them online. If you are a <a href="https://www.suspanish.com/blog/works-of-gaudi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">big fan of Gaudi</a>, you can visit a Gaudi experience which is a 4D movie about the life and work of the artist (around the 10 euro’s)</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The name Gaudi will probably not be unknown to you. His full name is Antoni Gaudí i Cornet and this man was a Catalan architect. Around 1900 he designed particularly impressive buildings and objects. You will find most of these beautiful works in Barcelona, such as The Sagrada Família, one of the most famous works.</p>
<h2>Works of Gaudi</h2>
<p>The works of Gaudi consist of 7 buildings that are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. 6 of these structures can be found in Barcelona and one in <strong>Santa Coloma de Cervelló</strong>. Since 1984 the works of Gaudi have already been on the World Heritage List. UNESCO honors Gaudi for its creative contribution to the development of the architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The monuments have a personal style and symbolize Catalan modernism, a cultural and artistic movement. The next 7 (plus a bonus) works by Gaudi are definitely worth a visit.</p>
<h3>Sagrada Familia</h3>
<p><span id="result_box" class="" lang="en">To start with the best known, the Sagrada Familia (Holy Family) is a great basilica and is seen as the absolute masterpiece of Gaudi and also the most important characteristic of Barcelona. The church has a length of 90 meters and an unfinished tower of 172.5 meters. The construction of the Sagrada Familia started in 1882 and according to the latest plans the church should be finished in 2026. </span></p>
<p><span id="result_box" class="" lang="en">The Sagrada Familia is the most visited monument in Spain with about three million visitors a year! <span class="">Tickets can be ordered in advance on the <a href="http://sagradafamilia.tickets-barcelona.org/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxNmnp_HO3gIVFp7VCh3mCwnpEAAYASAAEgKBkvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">website</a>, this way you avoid having to wait in line for a long time.</span></span></p>

<h3>Casa Battlo</h3>
<p>The Casa Battlo was built between 1904 and 1906 and again has an architecture based on inspiration from nature. The wavy shape of the facade are inspired by the waves of the Mediterranean Sea or on the winding forms of the mountains of <strong>Monsterrat</strong>. The roof has the shape of a dragon and is partly covered with ceramics, these are the scales of the dragon. The dragon symbolizes the dragon of Saint George. The cross on the roof is the lance of St. George, the wrought-iron balconies are skulls and the gallery on the first floor is the mouth of the dragon. The legendary dragon slayer St. Joris or Sant Jordi is the patron saint of the Spanish region of Catalonia.</p>
<h3>Palacio Güell</h3>
<p><span id="result_box" class="" lang="en"><span class="">The Palacio Güell or Palau Güell is a large mansion with a fairytale garden on the roof.</span></span></p>
<h3>Park Güell</h3>
<p><span id="result_box" class="" lang="en">Park Güell or Parque Güell is a large city park in <strong>the Gracia district</strong> on the southern slope of <strong>Monte Carmelo</strong> in north-eastern Barcelona.

The Park Güell has an area of 17.18 hectares and has undulating shapes similar to rivers. It&#8217;s also covered in mosaic. <span class="">The Dragonstairs is built around a fountain in the shape of a salamander.</span> <span class="">A terrace with a bank of over 100 meters in the shape of a snake is the central point of the park.</span> <span class="">The main road in the park is called the Rosary and there are many viaducts.</span> The museum in the park has actually been Gaudi&#8217;s residence for a short time.</span></p>

<p>The Casa Mila is an apartment complex with undulating outside walls. Because of the irregular façade, the building is nicknamed La Pedrera (the quarry). The building has an area of 1323 square meters. On the roof there are 28 turned chimneys that give natural ventilation.

<h3>Catedral La Seu (Palma de Mallorca)</h3>
<p>One that is often not mentioned in the works of Gaudi is the Cathedral at <strong>Mallorca</strong> in <strong>Palma</strong>. It&#8217;s not a complete design by Gaudi, but he certainly has contributed and this is why we find it worth mentioning. In the beginning of the 20th century Antoni Gaudí led the renovation of the altar room of La Seu. Among other things, he left a gigantic chandelier hanging over the altar, and the ceramic walls were also introduced by him. Gaudi installed the canopy as well. The canopy is made of wrought iron and is illuminated by many lights.</p>
<p>As you have seen above, the works of Gaudi are quite impressive and certainly worth a visit. Since almost all of these works are located in Barcelona, a city trip to this wonderful city should definitely be a good idea, right? Do you want to discover Barcelona low-budget?

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Barcelona. A city which is absolutely amazing, but could be quite expensive.

<h3>Free and most popular budget proof Barcelona</h3>
<p><strong>Mercat de la Boqueria</strong></p>
<p>Maybe one of the well-known activities in Spain is the famous ‘Mercat de la Boqueria’. Strolling down this market, you feel see, feel, smell and taste the most fresh food and drinks of Barcelona. The market is full of beautiful colours, because of the fresh fruits and other products. This makes Mercat de la Boqueria definitely Instagram-proof!</p>
<p><strong>Las Ramblas</strong></p>
<p>Getting out of bed to shop? Let’s go to the Las Ramblas! If you are visiting Barcelona, you must walk through the Ramblas. Perhaps you will do it, because you cannot avoid this famous place. Las Ramblas is decorated by beautiful trees, which form an outstanding walking path. There are also a lot restaurants on Las Ramblas. Whereas most of the local people will not recommend you to eat around the Ramblas, tourist institutions will definitely recommend you to <a href="https://www.suspanish.com/blog/must-see-hotspots-barcelona/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eat there</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Arc de Triomf</strong></p>
<p>This triumphal arch was built in honor of the world exhibition, and still this arch is a famous place to visit in Barcelona. If you visit the Arc de Triomf, you can walk further to the Parc de la Cuitadella (which is also free to visit).</p>

<p>A little less well-known, but definitely a must-see square is Placa de Sant Felipe. This place is really special and unique, because it will take you back to the Spanish civil war. You can feel the tense not only because of the holes in the walls, but because of the whole image. The holes in the walls are created by the bombing during the civil war.</p>

<p><strong>Parc de joan Miró</strong></p>

<h3>2 tips of the day</h3>
<p><strong>Barcelona City Pass</strong></p>
<p>With this <a href="https://barcelonapagina.barcelona.ticketbar.eu/en/discount-cards/barcelona-city-pass-/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">pass</a>, you will have access to must-see attractions like the Sagrada Famila and Park Güell. These are really famous and often have long waiting lines. In total, this pass is <a href="https://barcelonapagina.nl/kortingskaart.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cheaper</a> than buying tickets separately.</p>
<p><strong>Metro</strong></p>
<p>Buy instead of separate tickets, a T10 card. This will cost you 9,95 euros for 10 rides, instead of 2,15 per ride.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Antoni Gaudí i Cornet, this name might sound familiar, but what makes this man so popular? Who has visit Barcelona has definitely seen some work of one of the most famous architects in the world.</p>
<h2>What makes this man so popular?</h2>
<p>Antoni Gaudí was born on the 25<sup>th</sup> of June 1852 in Reus, close to Barcelona. He joined the School of Architecture and combined this together with working as an assistant in several places like an architectural practice and the workshop of a carpenter and a glassmaker.</p>
<p>After he graduated he received his first commission. His reputation grew and he got projects commissioned by the bourgeoisie like Casa Batlló, Casa Milà and Casa Calvet. All these structures you will find in Barcelona.</p>
<p>Park Güell, Palau Güell, Casa Vicens and Teresian college are also designed by Gaudí.</p>
<p>In 1883 he also took over the design of the impressive Sagrada Familia. For a long period, he combined this with other projects, but in 1914 he decided to focus only on the Basilica. The final months he even lived close by his studio.</p>
<p>On the 10<sup>th</sup> of June 1926, he died of his injuries due to a tragic tram accident three days earlier. He was buried in the crypt of the Sagrada Familia.</p>
<p>The first tower was finished in 1925. This was the only tower he saw completed. These days the Basilica is ready for 70 percent. In 2020 the six main towers will be finished and the goal is to complete the Basilica in 2026. Watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fsF75QGXWs" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">this movie</a> to see what it will look like.</p>
<p><strong>Are you going to Barcelona soon and do you want to visit the Sagrada Familia, book your tickets in advance on <a href="https://tickets.sagradafamilia.org/site/SagradaFamilia/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">this website</a>.</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wherever you are in Spain make sure you experience el clásico, a famous football match between to football giants in Spain.</p>
<h2>Experience el clásico, the most important football match in Spain</h2>
<p>Just before the preparations for Christmas were about to start last year, a special event took place in Spain: El Clásico. In other words, the clash between eternal rivals FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. On Saturday December 3 the Camp Nou stadium was the theatre for this special match, which always ensures spectacle and nice goals. If you’re lucky and you are in Spain during the match, you can experience el clásico, and see how the Spaniards experience this match in their own way.</p>
<p>Although it was financially almost impossible to actual go to <a href="https://www.suspanish.com/blog/category/barcelona/">Barcelona</a> and buy tickets, it was in Valencia a nice experience as well. The week before the match the shops will sell a lot of merchandise. It is difficult to estimate which of the two teams has the most support in this city.</p>
<p>When you don&#8217;t know where to watch El Clásico on match day itself, ask around. Many people from Valencia tell you that every random bar with a television screen would broadcast Barca-Real. And no Irish Pub of course, but rather a typical Spanish bar where the delicious <em>jamones </em>hang above you on the ceiling and the <em>dobles</em> stand next to you on the counter. A little bet with your friends and the game can begin!</p>
<p>It is better not make it that late the evening before. To get a good place to sit and watch the game in a bar you have to be on time. But do not expect that you can follow the football every single second. Bars will be filled with people and besides that Spaniards are known to be quite passionate during these kind of games.</p>
<p>Because FC Barcelona and Real Madrid are very big, in Valencia as well live a lot of supporters of both clubs. That’s why it is so special to witness that (youthful) fans can watch the match together. You can’t imagine that when for example Manchester United and Liverpool face each other. Nevertheless, one can see that more people cheer for the Catalans than the Madrilènes. This manifests itself in jubilation after the 1-0 scored by Suarez just after halftime. Moreover, it is advisable to go on the streets during halftime. You will notice that it is very quiet there and that’s how much the confrontation lives in the city! Eventually the rivalry is not too bad when Ramos scores the 1-1 just before the end of the game.  The people drink a beer together and cheers on the result.</p>
<p>Altogether it’s special to perceive how El Clásico is experienced in this country that is crazy for the football game.</p>
