6. I am still fascinated by this piece of Art right in the middle of Barcelona. Years ago bull fights were banned in this part of Spain, therefore they decided to cleverly transform this gorgeous spanish icon building into a futuristic masterpiece shopping mall, now known as Las Arenas. 

This beautiful building was built in 1900 by architect August Font i Carreras and had a capacity as a bull ring for14.893 people. It has 52 meters of diameter and its beauty and location made it be the most amazing bull ring in Spain. 

Nowadays this unique landmark, caters high street boutiques, supermarkets and a wonderful top floor terrace flooded in modern restaurants overlooking the whole city. 

There is a glass lift that takes you directly to the terrace from which you can see the Plaza España, the Motjouic fountains and Montjuic. 

My favorite restaurants are Abrassame and Watsumi and my favorite shops are Veritas and Macarons from Enrique Bosch. 

A lovely - authentic must visit place while staying in Barcelona. 4****
