Things to do in Barcelona

 

One of the best things to do in Barcelona, is just walk in the streets and get involved with spanish peole, and all the
turists from all around the World.The tourists come from all over the place, Barcelona cheap flights are searched all over the World.

Once in Barcelona, you should visit Regal Plaça del Rei (King’s Square) is hemmed in by a crowd of Gothic buildings that provides a theatrical backdrop for a picnic, an outdoor concert, or the serenades of a passing street musician. Dominated by the austere Palau Reial (Royal Palace) and
adjoining chapel – where, for centuries, the rulers of Catalunya held court and prayed – the square oozes history from every stone. And, indeed, beneath the medieval stones lie the ancient ruins of Roman Barcino, which are still astonishingly intact. Peek in
the glass windows on adjoining Carrer del Veguer to glimpse them, or study them more carefully as part of
a visit to the fascinating Museu d’Història de la Ciutat . The museum now incorporates the Royal
Palace, the Royal Chapel and the Roman ruins. The Royal Chapel has a dainty bell tower, with a delicate,
wrought-iron crown; it contrasts somewhat with the grim Mirador del Rei Martí – a watchtower built to
keep an eye on the overly independent Catalans.

In the square itself, locals walk their dogs, kids career past on their way back from school, and footsore
tourists sprawl on the magnificent steps that sweep up to the Royal Palace. These steps form a dramatic natural stage for frequent outdoor summer concerts, particularly during the excellent Festival de Música Antigua.

In summer, a terrace café, L’Antiquari de la Plaça del Rei, has tables spread out across the square, while street performers regale the drinkers with everything from sentimental ballads to tango dances or fire-breathing tricks. The boxy public sculpture by
Eduardo Chillida serves as an impromptu stage for such performances. At night, the square is even more
enchanting, with starlight gleaming palely overhead,and music echoing off the ancient walls.
