9:00 Start as you mean to go on with break-
fast at El Born, a tiny but very cool bar on the lovely Passeig del Born (left) on the corner with Calders street. Watch the neighbourhood wake up before you (1). 10:00 Head down Calders and get lost in the small streets of the area. You’ll find quirky clothes boutiques and one-off emporiums for unusual gifts for you and your friends (2). 11:15 The Picasso Museum (main
image) is a must-see in Barcelona, featuring early works by the Spanish genius as well as temporary shows (3).
12:30 Take a break at Parc de la Ciutadella. As well as being one of the city’s biggest parks, you’ll find the zoo and Natural History museum (left) (4). 13:30 You’ll be spoilt for lunch
choices in this neighbourhood. From burgers at Pim Pam to sushi at Nakashita via modern Catalan dishes at Cuines Santa-Caterina in the eponymous market, your best bet may be just to wander around and find somewhere that takes your fancy (5, 6, 7).
