5 Unique Spots you must visit in Barcelona

Here are a few little hidden gems we insist you visit when in Barcelona:

1. Eyescream and friends

This is a fresh, quirky ice cream shop serving a form of gelato we can gurantee you won't have tried... shaved.

You basically pick your tray, choose your flavour, choose two toppings and enjoy your delicious creation. Not only is it super fun to make but it tastes lovely and at the end little edible eyes are added, cmon guys can you deny how cute this looks:

The store headquarters are in Barcelona and can be found in the Bareloneta neighberhood.
Nearest metro stop: Bareloneta


2. Happy Pills

Happy Pills is literally the most adorable yet clinical store we've ever been to - it feels like walking into one of those labs in alien movies or films based in the 3000's but instead of scary contraptions there are pill jars, pink themed merchandise/branding and millions of sweeties!

We weren't allowed to take any photos unfortunately - yes really there is a sign the minute you walk in so this photo of our sweets will have to do my pretties:

Nearest metro stop: Passieg de Gracia

Metro Advice Barcelona

Having just spent a long weekend in Barcelona, with only a few hours to cram the whole city in we  were constantly using the metro (once we'd figured it out that is!)

Advice on metro:

My most importance advice for the metro is  buy a T10 Card! Absolute lifesaver - only needed two for 4 days of gallivanting.

T10 Card in short is a train ticket which can be used 10 times and can be purchased at any metro station entrance. 

All the machines have an english option which makes it super easy to use plus there are always attendants nearby to help a sister out especially in the bigger stations!

One ticket can be used by two people which is sooo convenient. Each of you pass it through the machine and it'll stamp the ticket with a number on the back. This is also useful when trying to figure out how many more journeys you have left on it!
