Spend a day exploring and wandering around Parc Ciutadella, El Borne and El Gotico. The park has a relaxed hippy vibe, then walk into Passeig El Borne and onto the Gotic area. Get lost in the twisty lanes and the old buildings. There are many cafes, bars in this area and so take lots of pit stops to sit, relax, soak up the atmosphere, drink a Cana (small beer), or a cafe con leche and eat some tapas.

It's a great neighbourhood with its very own Rambla and all the charm of old Barcelona without the crowds.

4) If you like the Beach, then there's a really good beach city vibe, chirringuitos (beach cafes), volley ball nets around Port Olimpic/ Playa Nova Icaria. The guidebooks will tell you to go to Barceloneta but it's very busy and touristy and Port Olimpica beaches are still busy but more locals. Nearest Metro: Ciutadella Vila Olimpica, then you have to walk around 10mins.

Entertainment & Activities

To steal a line from the Guardian Newspaper... 'There's nowhere better to cool off or just hang out than this spectacular public pool, with panoramic views over Barcelona'. It's reasonably priced and just short walk from the flat. Be warned it's only open in the summer months.

Gaudi. If you're interested in seeing some of the City's most famous Architect and Designer's work I recommend - Parc Guell (really great Mediterranean park in the north of the city with lots of magical Gaudi designs and lots of places to sit and chill)
