This is without a doubt the best neighbourhood in Barcelona. I love the care that went into the streets, the architecture and most of all the Gaudi creations. I always stay here.

I adore the gothic cathedral in the heart of the barrio gothic! I love to hang around outside and watch the world go by as well as enjoy the amazing architecture inside and out.

From its wobbly front to the mad roof I loved this building from top to bottom! I'd not managed to see this last time i was on holiday in Barcelona and I have to say it's one of my favourites now.

This is one of those Gaudi buildings that is almost synonymous with Barcelona and would certainly stick out like a sore thumb anywhere else in the world. There doesn't appear to be a straight line anywhere on the building and the front is entirely coated with broken tiles. These add to the theme which is George slaying the dragon - the mosaics look like scales and the roof is like a backbone. What a wonderful building.

The Cathedral of St Eulia is the most important attraction in the Barri Gothic part of town. It is an incredible piece of medieval architecture with a vast vaulted nave and some suitably gruesome gargoyles. It's also situated in a lovely part of town with nearby fleamarkets and cafes.
