hether this is your first time in the Catalan capital or whether you consider Barcelona to be your sunnier home from home, there is always plenty to see and do here. Over 7.5 million visitors enjoy their own unique Barcelona experience every year. These include business trips, family holidays, friends taking a break together, romantic weekends, and countless more good reasons for listening to the enticing call of destination Barcelona.

The way you travel says a lot about you, and if you’re reading this magazine, chances are that you’re an independent traveller who has chosen to stay in a holiday apartment. Congratulations!

Only 1,7% of Barcelona’s apartments are used for tourist apartment rentals, so you are one of the privileged few who have chosen to experience the city just like a local.

Barcelona is a truly unique city, with spectacular architecture, Mediterranean beaches, worldclass sightseeing attractions and a strong cultural identity. We would like to accompany your Barcelona experience with a guide that

includes and also goes beyond the regular information offered to tourists. After all, you’re not just visiting Barcelona, you’re also living with us, in the apartment next door.

You’ll find some useful insights into the structures that make the city tick, from local regulations to the colour of the recycling bins and the characteristics of different beaches.

Holiday apartment rentals represent the most sustainable travel option for many visitors, and as a conscious traveller we want to help you feel as integrated as possible during your stay in Barcelona.

Wishing you a comfortable stay,

Enrique Alcántara-García Chairman Apartur: Barcelona Tourist Apartments Association

MANY SHOPS WILL BE OPEN ON THE 6TH, 8TH, 10TH, 15TH AND 22ND AND 29TH DECEMBER

1. PASSEIG DE GRÀCIA If you are drawn to classic and chic labels, then head straight to Passeig de Gràcia.

This luxurious boulevard boasts beautiful buildings and décor, including the magnificent Casa Batlló and La Pedrera.

Many of the most prestigious fashion shops and brands in Barcelona are located here, including Bulgari, Gucci, Hermès, Prada, Emporio Armani, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton. If you are on a budget, or don’t want to splash out as far as a pair of Jimmy Choo stilettos, then check out the high-street stores such as Zara, Mango and H&M with their aspirational knock-offs.

2. BORN This trendy cultural hub is an up-andcoming fashion district with plenty of independent boutiques that specialise in one-off items and contemporary fashion.

Many of the best shops are in Carrer Rec, Carrer dels Flassaders, and in the small streets off Rambla del Born.

3. RAVAL If you are bringing goods out of the EU, ask for a Tax Free Cheque in the shop.

GHOST METRO STATIONS

BRUNCH O'CLOCK

There are several hidden metro stations in Barcelona, such as Gaudí, Correos, Banco, and Travessera. Gaudí is one of the few stations that are visible, and some people have even claimed to see ghosts waiting on its platform. It eventually became the Sagrada Família metro stop. Gaudí station’s platforms are visible from the train and can be glimpsed through the window just outside the metro station towards Sagrada Familia in the direction of Sant Pau Dos de Maig (L5).

It's too late for breakfast, but not quite lunch time... so where should you be heading?

The Citizen Cafe has a cosy ambience and delicious brunch menu at Pl. Urquinaona, 4.

From a lip-smacking full English to variations on the theme of Eggs Benedict and jazzy omelets head to The Benedict on Gignas 23.

Recovery Brunch at the fabulous Milk Bar offers all kinds of smoothies, eggs, pancakes, salads... and they whip up a mean Bloody Mary, at Gignas 21.

BARCELONA E E R F R O F TAPAS WITH YOUR DRINKS

MARVEL AT THE MAGIC FOUNTAINS

Did you know that tapas originated in Andalucia, and were small portions of food offered for free to accompany drinks in a bar?

What you also might not know is that there are a few bars in Barcelona who continue this tradition. Some of our favourites include Bar Mingus in the Gothic neighbourhood (Ataülf, 6), Cal Chusco in Barceloneta (l’Almirall Aixada, 5) and Atrapatapa in the Eixample (Comte d’Urgell, 77).

This is an amazing water and light show, and definitely worth including in your must-do list when you visit Barcelona. Jets of water dance to the accompaniment of an artistically choreographed music and light show. Show times in November and December are from 20:00-21:00 every Thurs, Fri and Sat.

MUSEUM ENTRY Many of the city’s best museums offer free entry all day on the first Sunday of the month. These include the Cosmocaixa Science Museum, Catalonia National Art Museum (MNAC), Barcelona History Museum (MUHBA), Picasso Museum, Maritime Museum and Music Museum. The MNAC is also free every Saturday from 15:00, and the MUHBA and Barcelona Centre for Contemporary Culture (CCCB) are free every Sunday from 15:00.

If you are visiting Barcelona for a short holiday break, take the time to do something completely different and experience the city from another angle.

Here are a few suggestions.

GLIDE ABOVE HOT AIR BALLOON Ready for some stunning views and spectacular scenery? Take a tour of the surrounding Catalan landscape from the air and float across areas of natural beauty such as Montseny natural park, Cardedeu and the Pyrenees. Hot air balloon trips usually last around 1.5 hours, and can include a champagne breakfast. www.ballooning.es

TIBIDABO VIEWS HIKE OR BUS TO THE TOP Tibidabo is part of the Collserola mountain range that lies behind Barcelona. The Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor that sits perched on top was built in the 20th century and was consecrated as a “minor basilica” in 1961. It is illuminated by night and stands out on Barcelona’s nocturnal skyline. The views are simply spectacular.

RIDE A CHOPPER HELICOPTER TOUR Do hot air balloons drift a little too slowly for you?

Take to the skies of Barcelona on a helicopter! These 45 minute tours of Barcelona from the air will reveal all the city's top sights from a unique birds' eye perspective. See the Torre Agbar, Sagrada Família, Camp Nou, and much more from the sky, and enjoy a unique and unforgettable view on our marvelous city. www.cathelicopters.com 22

W E E K E N D TRIP T R I P WEEKEND

AND RRA The smallest country in Europe is only a few hours from Barcelona. Its natural landscapes, culture and of course duty-free shopping are worth discovering with a weekend trip. It is also an internationally renowned ski destination which has excellent pistes and services. The season ski usually starts at the beginning of December and ends in mid-April, although this depends on snow conditions.

GRANDVALIRA This is the largest and most legendary resort in Andorra, with spectacular landscapes and panoramic views. It has 110 pistes of all levels spread over 193km and plenty of good snowboarding runs. Grandvalira is an amalgamation of 6 resorts, including Pas de la Casa, Gran Roig and El Tarter, and a skipass for the whole area is available. www.grandvalira.com

VALLNORD The second largest ski area in Andorra is located in the northern valleys. You can enjoy 100km of slopes, as well as a wide variety of activities for non-skiers. There are two ski resorts in Vallnord: Pal Arinsal, and Ordino Arcalis. Both are connected by cable car and have hotels at the foot of the slopes. www.vallnord.com 26

SEASONAL TRADITIONS C AGA T I Ă“ This Christmas log is a smiling hollowed out piece of wood with a red barretina hat.

Children "feed" him every day from the 8th December and keep him warm with a blanket.

On Christmas Eve the children beat him with a stick, singing songs that demand he poops presents...and candy, nuts and figs come pouring out!

E L C AG A N E R A key character in the Catalan nativity scene is the caganer, a small figure defecating discretely behind the crib of baby Jesus. These statues symbolise fertilisation and renewal. Children love finding the caganer in the larger nativity scenes that have dozens of characters, from shepherds and kings to villagers and angels.

A NIGHT OUT IN LA BARCELONETA The nightlife team checked out a snapshot of vibrant Barceloneta, a beachside barrio which has much to offer all year round. If you wander off the beaten track to explore and find something you love, tag a photo to our facebook.com/barcelonaconnect or instagram/barcelonaconnect accounts and let us know how you got on!

Plaça del Poeta Boscà, right in the Centre of Barceloneta, Ké Bar is a popular meeting spot for locals. It is a charming grotto-themed bar with an inviting terrace on the square. All the classic drinks are served as well as their own cocktail concoctions.

THE FASTNET ABSENTA BAR Great Craic. The Fastnet is an institution in Barceloneta and a favoured watering hole for locals, visitors and the maritime community alike. This place is known for its Guinness, tasty food, quiz nights and, of course, all the sports are featured on big screens in English.

KÉ BAR

Great jazz music, bohemian culture and a truly magical atmosphere, in a hidden corner of Barceloneta. Artists and local fishermen have been drinking flaming absinthe together at this establishment for over 100 years. Now, drinking absinthe isn’t for the faint-hearted. Nor is it really advised for a quick off-the-beach aperitif… but in Barcelona, it is a must for those who want to experience the city like the (braver) locals do!

To drink or not to drink? Indeed, that is the question! Located on the bustling corner of

It is a busy commercial area, with elegant shops, trendy restaurants and comfortable hotels. You'll find an area nicknamed the “Gayxample,” for its gay community and nightlife.

Take a walk along the seafront promenade and see the sailing boats in the port below. There are many seafood restaurants and lounge bars with terraces overlooking the Mediterranean, and there's a busy nightlife scene.
