Things to Do and Places to Stay in Barcelona
We’ve talked about Barcelona Festivals previously, so we’re delighted to have a further guest post about some unusual ways to spend time in this wonderful city.
Barcelona is a cosmopolitan city on the Mediterranean Sea that is visited by millions of vacationers. And no wonder; the city offers its visitors dynamic cultural events, scrumptious cuisine and incredible beauty all year round. Here are just a few unusual to do and see when visiting this historic yet trendy city – make sure you stay in one of the many super trendy Barcelona hotels when you’re there!
Barcelona Jazz Cruise
Nothing says romance like a Barcelona sunset. That sunset is even more romantic when it is coupled with soothing jazz music as the backdrop. The cruise is an about an hour and a half of pure Mediterranean coastline pleasure. It sets sail from April through September.
Human Table Football
This is a fun and unusual activity for adult fans of table football, also known as foosball. Players are strapped into an inflatable boat in the foosball formation. Just like the table game, movement is sideways only and just the feet can be used to maneuver to score goals and block the opponent. Â Great fun for the competitive at heart and a good workout as well.
Hot Air Balloon Ride
Imagine floating a mile above the countryside of Catalina on the breeze of the Mediterranean Sea. This magic ride is a chance to relax and look down at the most amazing scenery in the world. Enjoy breakfast with the pilot and fellow passengers at the end of the journey.

Tourists get the chance to get a taste of the best cheeses Spain has to offer. The tasting takes place in a specialist cheese shop deep in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. The intimate tour includes a lesson on the history of each cheese. Bread and fine wine are served with the cheese and guests can purchase their favorites before they leave.
