La Rambla
Next, explore the scenic Ramblas promenade. Soak up the energy of this former market and snap a few photos of open-air cafes, flower stalls, and the unusual Miró mosaic.

Caganer
Learn about this unusual Christmas tradition, born in Catalonia but since expanded worldwide. We’ll see many caganer sculptures here at the world's largest purveyor of these oddities.

Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar
This Gothic church has an intriguing history beyond its brush with fame in the Netflix series, “Cathedral of the Sea.” It’s a testament to the spirit of the local community.
