Sant Gervasi has the best private schools, the fanciest restaurants and the poshest apartments. It is the quarter for rich locals and is part of Zona Alta area. So if you are fed up with tourists, smell of pot and hippies of the Old Town come here to spend a day among respectable folks.

As spring arrives all you need is open verandas during the day and bar hopping at night, walking from bar to bar and not forgetting to have your snack in between.

On a warm Barcelona night: verandas and bars

Barcelona number one alimentation rule – don't miss lunch which runs from one to five pm. Otherwise you'll have troubles to find a decent place. Usually all restaurants have menu del dia – affordable meals from various cuisines. But in more traditional places your drink will be not a glass of wine but a bottle – that's what we love Spain for.

Yummy lunch for ten euros

Due to the recent crisis, European trips are becoming quite pricey so here Barcelona comes into play. It has everything to make one happy – the sea, cheap yummy food and wine, cool architecture and loads of fun. Check our guide of cheap but cool places.

Affordable Barcelona

Everything located to the left of Paseo de Gracia or to be more precise Balmes Street, is called Eixample Esquerra or Left Eixample. The quarter is mainly inhabited by LGBT folks that's why some joke that the area is now called Gayxample. Some say there is nothing to look at but Parc de Joan Miró, Placa d'Espanya,Parc de l'Espanya Industrial and a Galician food venue serving the best octopus in town are all pretty good reasons to visit Eixample Esquerra at least once.
