Know Before You Go

Want to have a stress-free vacation? I’ve got you. Whether you’re mildly interested – or crazy-obsessed – with Barcelona, Spain, this is where you can get inspired and get planning. If you’re visiting the city, let me show you how to travel smarter and safer.

Know before you go. Find out what to wear, find things to do, or discover where to eat. If you’ve got kids, read my 100+ ideas on enjoying Barcelona with your family. Or want to go beyond BCN and see more of Spain? Slow villages, castles on the sand, and medieval plazas… Spain’s charm is often found in its idyllic architecture.  #1 Barcelona travel tip: Don’t get robbed.

So who runs this show? Glad you asked. I’m Justine – a churro addict, mom, and born-and-bred native Californian.

I’m an introvert living in Barcelona since 2008, eating burnt onions (calçots) and tripping on cobblestones in the Gothic Quarter. This Barcelona travel blog is where I share tips on popular attractions, expose offbeat non-touristy spots, and give kid-friendly ideas. My next Catalan culture challenge: the top level of a human castle (castellers). 

But this blog has been my baby since 2013. Find out more about me here. Say hi at [email protected]. And follow me on Instagram or Facebook.
