5 Carrer de la FusinaOne of the best places for seafood in Barcelona! There's usually a line outside but it goes pretty quickly as they have plenty of space inside. The great thing about it is that you get to choose the things you want from the counter (fish market style) and then tell them how you want it cooked (grilled or fried). You can choose between squid, cuttlefish, mussels, fish, monkfish, shrimp, etc. It's a canteen style eating in a loud, vibrant atmosphere.

Bunkers of Carmel, today what is left of them are the old concrete platforms that were once part of anti-aircraft battery during the Spanish Civil War. In the post-War it was a shanty town until the early 1990s (you will find tiled floors of what used to be houses), and has lain abandoned since then. It offers amazing views, from this place full of history, as post civil-war immigration to Barcelona is very important to urbanisation of this wonderful city, thanks to which Barcelona is what it is.

Basilica Santa Maria Del Mar The first mention of the Santa Maria del Mar was in 998, yet as you can see when you visit the basilica, the cornerstone was laid in 1329. The style is a perfect example of 14th century Catalan Gothic and the temple is seen as an icon for Catalan Gothic. It´s situated in the middle of the little, cozy streets of El Born, la Ribera area. Especially the inside is really impressive, imagine it took about 5000 persons to build this temple.
