12 essential do’s and don’ts for visiting Barcelona

12 essential do’s and don’ts for visiting Barcelona

by EatTravelRaveRepeatAdmin | Nov 10, 2016 | Spain, Travel, Travel Tips, Weekend Breaks

I’ve just spent 6 days in gorgeous, sunny and laid back Barcelona. Barcelona is quite possibly my favourite city in Europe, it has absolutely everything a visitor could want: beach, history, art, culture, food and awesome nightlife. Every time I visit I can totally...

It’s been a hot minute since my last blog post.. It’s been a hot minute since my last blog post...I’ve had so many posts sat in my folders just waiting to go live, but Yanno life got in the way. House move, travels, work yadda yadda. Anyway, I’ve decided to get some of these older posts up and this is the first of many....(I’ll have some more current stuff up too btw) 📌Last winter/spring I visited the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana. Somewhere that most people I’ve spoken to have no idea how to pronounce or even what there is to see/do there, so here I try to answer “Is Ljubljana worth visiting?” Link in bio
Crimbo limbo. Where every day feels like a weekend Crimbo limbo. Where every day feels like a weekend day. So obviously it’s the perfect time to head to the beach for an epic seafood platter. I can’t actually believe @longsandsfish in Tynemouth do all of this seafood, plus lots of home made bread, butter and sauces for just £24!! Incredible.
Thoroughly enjoying lazy sunny days with delicious Thoroughly enjoying lazy sunny days with delicious tapas here in Tenerife. So much so that I could be persuaded to make this an annual tradition. 😎
#throwbackthursday to last year when I ate the mos #throwbackthursday to last year when I ate the most amazing cheese fondue in a crusty bread roll at Edinburgh Christmas market. Washed down with a glass of white wine it was the perfect thing 😋 I absolutely love Christmas markets: the mulled wine, foods, German oompa bands and all that jazz. I’ll be heading to Newcastle Christmas market tomorrow and Manchester next weekend, but I’m thinking of squeezing in a third...where do you think I should go for food, drink and festive feels? 🎅🏼🎄
Feels like forever ago we were in Portugal, but we Feels like forever ago we were in Portugal, but we got back just over 2 weeks ago 😱 the last two weeks have been a whirl wind though, as we finally moved into our new house and we’ve been consumed with packing and unpacking, furniture deliveries, changing address with banks etc and all that boring adulting stuff BUT it’s also all very exciting being in our lush home after 10 months of living out of suitcases.😱 Anyway, this lush little street view was taken in Faro, which although lots of tourists pass through the airport, so few people actually visit the town, which is such as shame. The Old Town is full of these cute little streets and squares crammed with gorgeous little cafes, restaurants and shops. It feels much more like a locals town than much of the surrounding Algarve too. Well worth a visit if you’re passing through. Have you been into Faro town?
What a view! 😍 not gonna lie, my fear of height What a view! 😍 not gonna lie, my fear of heights made me feel a little bit sick all along the walk way. As it takes you very close and some times over the cliff edge. But it was well worth stepping outside of my comfort zone for
I’m still absolutely buzzing from my trip to Por I’m still absolutely buzzing from my trip to Portugal last week. It may well be blimmin Baltic at home now, but going through all my snaps are giving me a warm fuzzy glow. Especially these ones of the gorgeous coast line from Lagos to Ponta da Piedade 😍 every little cove is so stunning, with these incredible rock formations springing out of bright turquoise water. I can see why this whole area is so popular with kayakers. I’d love to go back to this part of the Algarve and explore some more
This is exactly why I wanted to come to Lagos in P This is exactly why I wanted to come to Lagos in Portugal, it has the most beautiful beaches in the Algarve 😍 You wouldn’t believe that just a few minutes earlier it had been lashing rain, and we were “forced” to take shelter in a beautiful seafood restaurant and drink wine until the storm passed! 😂
I’ve gotta say, I’m pretty impressed with what I’ve gotta say, I’m pretty impressed with what they’ve done to Old Gotham, it’s hard to believe it’s the same boozer! We popped in for food and drinks before a gig at the arena and it was just the ticket. I had the chicken Caesar salad and I think it was probably the best one I’ve ever eaten with loads of lush pickled anchovies. Also, if you haven’t tried @tinyrebelbrewco jam doughnut yet, errr why not? It’s delicious 🍺
Who would have thought just a couple of years ago Who would have thought just a couple of years ago that there would be such a sophisticated cocktail bar and restaurant on the Bigg Market in Newcastle?? I remember the days of necking Bacardi Breezers and cheap trebles in Blu Bambu 😂 and yet this whole area is going through a huge revival with a rebranding of “The Merchants Quarter” And to be honest I’m totally here for it! @hiboublanc_ncl is in a beautiful old building on the corner of High Bridge Street and Bigg Market, full of old school charm (wood panelling, marble, brass). They have a huge central bar plus a formal restaurant and a private dining room. We sampled a couple of their dishes from the bar snack menu: miso glazed pork skewers & salt beef croquettes, which were both seriously good. And a delicious rum/pineapple cocktail & punchy Malbec, perfect for date night ❤️
Who doesn’t love a good Ruby Murray on a Friday Who doesn’t love a good Ruby Murray on a Friday night? This is a lamb Pathia made with tamarind and lime juice for a sweet and sour flavour and a chicken Handi; a traditional curry cooked on the bone with crushed poppadoms sprinkled over. And for me, you can’t have a curry without a Peshwari naan 😋😋👌🏼 what’s your go-to curry order?
So today I was meant to be flying first class to K So today I was meant to be flying first class to Kuala Lumpur. We’d saved our air miles for years to get this trip of a life time. The plan was to fly to Jakarta and spend my birthday at the Grand Hyatt roof top bar then travel through java, Bali and Lombok over 4 weeks. However, we cancelled the trip because #adulting we’re buying a house by the coast and it’s taken a lot longer than expected ☹️ I’m sad about the trip (of course) but very happy about moving to the beach AND it’s also meant that we get a fun weekend at Lindisfarne Festival, which has been amazing! Silver lining n all that 👍🏻
