Nature Places Map
Nature in Catalonia:
Ciutadella Park
Try to get to the park around 9 AM. You'll beat the crowd and enjoy a peaceful stroll before it gets busy. Plus, the morning light is perfect for photos!
Park Guell
Try to get there right when the park opens at 9 AM. You'll beat the crowds and have more space to enjoy the beautiful areas without too many people in your photos
If you want to save some money, bring your own snacks and drinks. The onsite café is pretty pricey for a quick bite.
Serra de Collserola Natural Park
Barcelona Aquarium
Check out the feeding times for the sharks and rays. I totally missed it but heard it was a highlight! I recommend marking it on your map when you get there.
Don't skip the gift shop! I found some cute and unique souvenirs there that you won't spot at other touristy spots. Just watch your budget, they can be a bit pricey.
Try to catch a spot at the underwater tunnel. I suggest getting there early; it gets packed fast, and it’s just breathtaking to watch the fish swim above you!
My advice is to grab a quick meal at the café before heading to the main displays. The sandwich I had was decent, and it gave me the energy to explore without being hangry.
Montserrat
Cala Fonda
Check the tide schedule before you go. I found the best swimming times were just after low tide when the water was clear and calm. Totally worth planning ahead!
Forget the flip-flops and wear water shoes instead. The rocky areas can be a bit tough on bare feet, and water shoes made it way easier to get around.
Platja de Cunit
Platja Mar Menuda
If you're looking to save a few bucks, bring some snacks and drinks. The cafes nearby are a bit pricey, and you can enjoy your own food while soaking up the sun.
Zoological Park of Barcelona
Orth's Labyrinth
I think you should download an offline map beforehand. Service can be spotty once you're in the labyrinth, and getting lost can be frustrating but also fun if you're prepared!
Don't forget to wear comfy shoes. The pathways can be tricky and uneven, which I learned the hard way after tripping a couple of times. But hey, it added to the adventure.
