Gaudí & the Gothic Quarter
Sagrada Família
Attraction · Timed entry
Book the 9:00 slot with tower access — morning light through the east Nativity façade glass is unreal.
El Quim de la Boqueria
Lunch · Market counter
Counter seats inside La Boqueria market — order the chipirones with fried egg, the dish that made Quim famous.
Gothic Quarter & El Born walk
Walk · Self-guided
Duck into Plaça Sant Felip Neri — shrapnel scars from 1938 still mark the walls. Quietest before 15:00.
Park Güell at sunset
Attraction · Golden hour
The mosaic terrace faces west over the whole city — timed entry, so book the slot 90 min before sunset.
Tapas at El Xampanyet
Dinner · No reservations
Standing room, house cava, anchovies since 1929. Go at opening (19:00) or expect a happy crush.
Getting around: Metro L2 → Liceu · 15 min
