Local Insider Tips

  • Pickpockets are rampant on Las Ramblas — use a money belt or crossbody bag
  • Real Barcelona dining happens late: lunch at 2–4 PM, dinner after 9 PM
  • The Menu del Día (lunch set menu) is €12–18 for 3 courses with wine — incredible value
  • Book Sagrada Família and Gaudí sites online well in advance
  • Barceloneta beach is touristy — take the metro one stop further to Bogatell or Mar Bella
