So let’s start! What do you need to proceed with to have the most unforgettable trip ever?
1. Take a swim…In wine!
Both Spaniards and Catalans adore wine. Therefore, recently there has been a tendency toward Wine Therapy. Although it may sound like an excuse for an alcoholic to drink wine once again, in Barcelona it is something completely different, namely – Aqua Urban Spa.

3. Learn all about the most important delicacy
The Hamon Museum should have been opened in the Catalan capital a long time ago.

4. Anti–karaoke!
If you are interested in how to spend the evening visit the Apolo Club on Thursday from 22:00. Visitors can participate in a party that can be called infernal, the extent of the madness of which can be compared to a night in a shelter. With artists and comedians dressed in bright costumes (and sometimes in their absence) and more than 500 songs, it is a kind of concert or even a musical, attracting viewers to participate in a crazy party.
6. Food… with the eyes closed. Dinner at the restaurant… being blind!
Two special opportunities for cooking blindfolded exist that you can try here. One culinary school decided to abandon the ordinary master classes. Espai Boisa holds culinary workshops with closed eyes, during which you need to trust a qualified specialist and your friend, who will always keep their hands on the apron. This is an ideal place for friends or companies who want to conduct group training.
If you prefer food prepared by someone else’s hands, then you will need to attend the restaurant Dans Le Noir, in which you are free to do whatever you want, except to see the food on your plate. You will only taste this food using your senses of smell and taste. This is a unique opportunity to focus on your taste buds.
