Good Born-ing by Richard Wolf, from Berlin

Carretera de les Aigües:
Wonderful city views whilst you are walking, running or cycling on the mountain above Barcelona. I usually go there when it's a sunny day so I can enjoy the panoramic views at sunset.

Passeig del Born:
Located in the heart of Barcelona’s old town you´ll find the “Passeig del Born” – the main Rambla for this eccentric neighbourhood. Hidden between the different cocktail bars you can a little bit of history with Bar Berimbau. It is one of Europe’s oldest Brazilian bars and originally the first bar in the city to be serving the Brazilian classic- the Caipirinha. A great location to bar hop whilst trying out different drinks and enjoying the laid back vibe of the area until the early hours of the morning.

Boqueria:
About halfway up La Rambla you’ll find the old food market – La Boqueria and it is a great pit stop for a snack mid exploration. First, grab yourself a fresh juice! I had the coconut and pineapple and with the august heat, it’s a flash back to an exotic island! Stroll further in and to the right hand side you’ll find a couple of tapas bars. All of them are good so really no need to name any of them. Look out for an available stool and park yourself down. For a typical Catalan lunch, settle for the “pa amb tomàquet” , “pernil de gla” and a plate of “escalivada”.
