LOW COST ACTIVITIES in BARCELONA

Wondering to spend some time in Barcelona? If you have a little money or you are broke still you can enjoy a fantastic holidays in this amazing city. Here you are some tips!

Weather is generally good all year around. When the sun is shining it is easy to control your spending; instead of shopping you can go to the beach and relax yourself with a nice bath and some friends; an expensive dinner can be remplace by a picnic in the park.

Many streets and squares such as the Ramblas and Born, you can walk around or simply sit on a benche; there are many parks in a city that is relatively small in size – they can be found in Montjuïc, Arc de Triomf and along the beach.

Many of Barcelona’s most popular attractions can be seen without a single euro. Gaudí’s famous Parc Guelll is very cheap to get in, something as 7 euros. This is a magical and rambling space near the top of Barcelona. The famous Spanish architect filled a garden space with random mosaic statues, cavernous caves and terrace spaces to take in views of the city. It is a not-to-be-missed way to spend a sunny afternoon, skint or not.
