Picks that sit on this route.
From the Spain file. Real places, filed by people who went, not scraped from a Top 10 list.
Do · Granada
The Alhambra at opening time
The Nasrid Palaces in the first hour, before the tour groups, with the Sierra Nevada behind the arches. The single best ticket in Spain.
Do · Barcelona
La Sagrada Família Interior and Towers
Antoni Gaudí's basilica features a forest-like interior with branching columns and polychrome light filtering through stained glass. The completed façades represent distinct periods, from Gaudí's original Nativity Façade to the stark Passion Façade completed after his death.
Do · Seville
Flamenco in Triana
Cross the bridge from Seville's centre and catch a small peña show instead of a big tablao. Closer, louder, and half the price.
Do · Madrid
The Prado, then Retiro at dusk
Velazquez and Goya without rushing, then join half of Madrid walking the park as the light goes. The city's best free evening.
Eat · Madrid
Casa Dani
Widely rated the best tortilla de patatas in Madrid, served from a stall inside the Mercado de la Paz. Runny centre, no apologies.
Eat · Barcelona · Poble-sec
Quimet & Quimet
Fourth-generation family tavern famous for montaditos - creative combinations of tinned seafood, preserved products, honey and yoghurt on bread rounds. Standing room only with bottles stacked floor to ceiling.
Eat · Barcelona · La Boqueria
Bar Pinotxo
Generations-old counter inside La Boqueria market serving precise Catalan cooking using the market's own produce. Menu changes daily with chickpeas, fresh fish, and salt cod preparations.
Eat · Madrid
Chocolatería San Ginés
Churros and thick chocolate since 1894, open almost around the clock. Breakfast or 2am after Malasaña; both are correct.
