About Barcelona
Barcelona is Gaudí, beaches, and some of the best food in the Mediterranean — but it's also a city struggling with over-tourism. La Rambla and Barceloneta are packed year-round. The Barcelona that residents love is in Gràcia's village-like plazas, Poblenou's converted warehouses, and the vermouth bars of Poble Sec where Sunday morning starts with olives and anchovies. A Local Friend in Barcelona navigates past the tourist markup and the pickpocket hotspots into the authentic city — the pintxo bars, the local beaches up the coast, and the rooftop terraces that locals keep to themselves.
