After almost a year of living in Barcelona my cousin came to visit me. This gave me the opportunity to re-explore Barcelona all over again, through the eyes of a tourist.
Being a tourist in a place you live is something we often forget to do, but it’s also something that is really important, worthwhile and most of all fun! It will lead you to fall in love with your city all over again.
Some of the places of interest featured in the video include: (in order)
- Park Güell
- La Boqueria
- Las Ramblas
- the Magic Fountains of Montjuic
- Barceloneta beach
- El Born
- Parc de la Citudella
- Arco de Triunfo
- the Picasso Museum
- la Sagrada Familia
Keep exploring. Keep learning. Stay curious… And whether you are exploring your hometown, a place you’ve been before or visiting somewhere new, keep discovering.
Thank you for sharing! Reminds me how much I’d like to return. I still need to see the following:
the Magic Fountains of Montjuic
El Born
Parc de la Citudella
Arco de Triunfo
the Picasso Museum
The video isn’t working 🙁

Very nice! Love your blog!

Last time I visited Barcelona were 3 years ago. I just rented a bike and went exploring around. Was so much fun. This brings so many memories.
Being a tourist in you own countrie is also needed sometimes. Its good to know ehat you have around you.
I’ve been to Barcelona and I liked watching your video and remember those beautiful places. Thanks for sharing.
I love BCN and wish to go back! I hope to go back when La Sagrada Familia is completed in 2026!
Barcelona, I love it over there. I went with my daughter a few years ago. We had great fun in the really really touristic bus tour haha
Barcelona, I love it over there!
It is always fun to be a tourist in your own city – I do that pretty often in Goa. When family or friends come over, it is always a good time to take them around. Lovely Video.
I love Barcelona! I have been there 2 years ago and I visited Park Güell, La Boqueria, Las Ramblas and La Sagrada Familia. A really beautiful place! Thanks for your sharing! 🙂
Love your Barcelona video! Looks like you had fun exploring your home with your cousin. You have made me want to visit all over again!
I am so happy that now that I’ve been to Barcelona, I know what you are talking about 😀 I went there in February, so I didn’t have much use of the beaches, but saw the other things. Such a beautiful city. And sometimes it’s best when we can “play the tourist” in our own city 🙂

I spent a summer in Spain but never made it to Barcelona. Your video makes me want to go back and explore this city. Those magic fountains look really cool!
Thanks, this reminded me how much I enjoyed Barca on my trip there in 2009 esp the magic fountains – spectacular!
You definitely had an amazing time in Barcelona, Sam. Barcelona is astonishing and I can see that you’ve enjoyed it properly. How many days did you spend there?
Barcelona is amazing… i was lucky enough to live there for 2 years!
