First ever solo trip! a beach base at the W, Gaudí, great steak, a jazz night alone and plenty of shopping. Made for first-time solo travellers who want a mix of doing nothing and doing it all. Nucchi's tip: with taxi and ride-hail drivers, keep your plans to yourself and don't mention you're travelling alone!
First solo trip and possibly one of her best holidays ever. Sea-view rooms for sunrise, a spa, gym and sun deck, and a breakfast with a buffet plus à la carte. Staff were amazing and genuinely wanted her to be happy. Interesting detail worth knowing is that the toilet sits inside the shower area. (via Nucchi's vlog)
Picked by NucchiBeachfront restaurant right below the W Barcelona. Nucchi had a huge paella here on her first day, her first meal in Spain. (via Nucchi's vlog)
Picked by NucchiThe beach in front of the W. Great for a lazy day here. Did some reading, and booked a massage from a lady working on the beach. Lots of people work out on the boardwalk, and it's a good spot for a 7am run. (via Nucchi's vlog)
Picked by NucchiGaudí's first house, now a museum. You can end up staying here for ages, listening to every word of the audio guide (bring headphones, or use your phone). Don't skip the café: she called the cookie insane. (via Nucchi's vlog)
Picked by NucchiListed among the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants, with swinging wicker chairs. Nucchi walked in without a booking for a solo lunch and said the steak was so, so good. (via Nucchi's vlog)
Picked by NucchiGrand classic hotel (formerly the Ritz). Two local friends took Nucchi here for lunch because it's their favourite in the city. (via Nucchi's vlog)
Picked by NucchiMassimo Dutti's flagship in the city where the brand was founded. Nucchi said it feels like a museum, with a gorgeous staircase and a courtyard, and prices were well below London's. (via Nucchi's vlog)
Picked by NucchiPeruvian restaurant with a buzzy, music-led atmosphere and a gorgeous bathroom. Nucchi's favourite restaurant in London, and she booked the Barcelona branch for her last night. Her go-to is the arroz Nikkei. (via Nucchi's vlog)
Picked by NucchiGreat nightlife spot! If you can get yourself on the guest-list, that saves you the long queues.
Picked by NucchiGothic cathedral in the old town. Nucchi stumbled on it during an hour-long walk across the city, in the middle of the La Mercè festival, and loved the streets around it. (via Nucchi's vlog)
