Palau Güell
Before our flight, we enjoyed the last day in Barcelona. I think this place is my most favorite building designed by Gaudi. The Palau Güell is a mansion designed by the architect Antoni Gaudí for the industrial tycoon Eusebi Güell and built between 1886 and 1888. As editing my video, it came out almost 10 minutes virtual tour for those who are busy or missed opportunities to visit one of the best buildings in Barcelona.

the Castell de Montjuïc
Montjuïc is a great place to enjoy panoramic views of Barcelona. The Castell de Montjuïc fortress is located on the summit of the hill, and it's surrounded by imposing ramparts. There are several large-caliber guns mounted on the fortress, which were used to defend the port area. The fortress is open to the public, and you can walk around the flat roof and corner bastions for some great views of the cityscape, sea, and mountains. Montjuïc is also home to some great museums, like the Fundació Joan Miró and the Catalan National Museum of Art (MNAC).

Hope this vlog is helpful for those who want to hike the mountain and you guys like my vlog video.

all in one
We woke up early and headed to Park Güell, which was a beautiful park designed by Antoni Gaudí. We then made our way to Sagrada Família, where we were able to go inside the church. After that, we went to see some Flamenco dancers perform. It was an amazing day and I can't wait to go back!
- Park Güell is a beautiful park designed by Antoni Gaudí that is definitely worth a visit.
- The Sagrada Família is an impressive church that you should definitely check out if you're in Barcelona.
- Flamenco dancing is a must-see if you're in Barcelona - the performers are so talented!
This day in Barcelona was my wife's birthday, so I planed for the big 3 things to do in Barcelona. We enjoyed Gaudi's Park Guell, Sagrada Familia in the day time, and a flamenco show at night.
