We ran into Patrick at the Mercat de Mercats in Barcelona last week and let me let you know he is as nice in person as he seems in his videos. My wife and I were so happy to see him and he spent a few minutes speaking with us and letting us take a picture with him. He even stopped by to say good bye when he was leaving. TOP NOTCH GUY!
The market is amazing. I never ever went in there on my first couple of visits to Barcelona but past it all the time when walking along la ramblas. Now it's a must place to go when I'm there.
I travel solo and have a few days before joining a cruise, so I've booked a walking tour to get my bearings, a tour inc a hotel pick up for the Sagrada Familia & the Parc Guell, a Flamenco show with tapas that evening, then a tour of Montjuic with the cable car, and a tour of the Picasso Museum the following day. That will let me check out the highlights and I already know I will go back to see more!
Just came back from my trip last week, still a lot of people!!! The city is walkable and that’s what we did going around. We missed some of the spots you pointed out 😢 but we did enjoy Barcelona. I will definitely come back and explore the city further. Thank you for your videos which I love watching and sharing to my friends. The gothic quarter was amazing, though you couldn’t really appreciate some of the structures due to the massive crowds. Can’t even take decent pictures without being bumped at or some people take their own sweet time without considering others would like to have their turn too. Anyway, there’s still more to explore and learn about your culture. I was able to visit Montserrat and Girona but not Tarragona or Zaragoza. When I come back, these places will be on my list. Hopefully by then you can make more videos of places outside Barcelona. Have you ever made a Madrid video or are you just concentrating on Barcelona? Again, thank you for your concise yet very very informative video. ❤❤❤
@@PatrickGuideBarcelona we did travel to Madrid but only for 4 days. I find the city compact in terms of its street “size” unlike Barcelona. But both cities have their own highlights. To be honest, just my personal preference, I luv Barcelona!!! Btw, I was able to watch a game of my favorite female soccer team, of course FCB, against Espanyol. I wasn’t able to watch their match with Hammarby (Oct16) since I was in Madrid ☹️. Nevertheless, I got a few pics and videos of the team and most of all, seeing Alexia up close. Anyway, I will watch your video/s of Madrid later, for now, thank you and have a blessed day ahead.
Me and my BF just came back from Barcelona . Was there for mercat de mercat hoping to run into patrick😂 we're sad we missed him! Also thank you patrick for all your recommendations you really helped us plan out our itinerary😀 what a beautiful city!
Hi Patrick… I can not stress how important for me while taking a full day Barcelona it was to carry a water bottle which I refilled whenever possible….Loved my 3 days in BCN!
I have been watching your videos for a years. You’d have been so informative. I am coming to Barcelona next month. I have 4 days before my cruise leaves. I think my friend and I have been able to plan wisely thanks to you.
Going to Barcelona in the middle of November - so excited! I’m happy I found your channel, and now I’m equipped with a pen and a notebook pationtly writting down all you’ve got to share 🙏🏻❤
I'm back at the end of next month for the brest game. Cool video always. I always look out for you when I'm in Barcelona to see if you're doing one of you're videos lol
Thanks for uploading...I'm doing screenshots... We will come next year in february(my son's winter vacation... do you know when will be ETIAS to start? We have Taiwan passport and is free visa in Spain... I'm actually searching for ny peace right now after a trouble fight with a big troubled man at work...I was traumatized and leave for work my husband keep on telling me to think of our vacation not the stupid co worker... but I can't... it was 3days ago... now scrolling youtube I started to found my peace...( I even self studying Spanish) but I stop and keep taking meds for me to sleep and forgot what happened but waking up a different mood emerge in me.... Your video today makes me think positive...You may not know about it but it is... Hope one day we will see you in one of the roads of Barcelona...got booked at Eixample just 400meters away from La Sagrada Familia my dream...thanks for reminding me...
Hi Patrick. Really I enjoyed watching all your videos , because I am planning to visit Barcelona with my wife 10th of November coming from Paris and I want to know about the weather in this period and the clothes.because I see you still wearing summer clothes. Please advise me
Appreciate that Mohammed! If you’re coming in November I think the best thing to do is wait until we get closer so you can check the weather forecast. This video was filmed at the end of September, so I don’t think it’s gonna help much for November
You look so cute in this video. I was in Barcelona for 4 days 2 years ago and I fell in love with this beautiful city. Too bad that not everybody is welcoming there, specially tourists. But Barcelona local need to understand that is because of tourism that they have jobs and the city gets money to maintain those beautiful buildings. Despite of not being wrlcomd I am still planning in going back

It was great meeting both of you! Hope you enjoyed all the food at the market!
it's the truth... he is the best

Great work Patrick! Just booked my SEVENTH trip to Barcelona for next summer a few days ago! Will never get tired of visiting until I can move there!
Thanks Adam!

Patrick! Im here in Barcelona right now and I’m following this route! Thanks for putting this together! It is very helpful.
Thanks! Hope you enjoy!

Its always a great idea to take a tour and get an idea for the city and other things you can do too!
It's not worth the risk bro, street crime capital of Spain! or just don't take anything of value outside the hotel

Sounds like you were able to get to quite a few places! And yeah, I have a few videos about Madrid on the channel. Check ‘em out!

Hi Patrick… I can not stress how important for me while taking a full day Barcelona it was to carry a water bottle which I refilled whenever possible….Loved my 3 days in BCN!
Glad you had a good time!!! Yes, if you’re gonna be out all day, grab that water!

Thank you! Really happy to hear that!!
Came across Patrick's video before coming to Barcelona end of November for 3 days and taking a transatlantic cruise back to the States.

Great video as always Patrick!
Thank you!
You are the real MVP for this!
Appreciate you

Lots of great sights on this itinerary. Safe travels!
Thank you! No planned trips anytime soon, but thanks!
Great ideas.. I will be there in Barcelona for 5 days in 2 weeks 😁 so excited 🎉
Awesome!!
Thanks Patrick, the suggestions were super useful, we did most of the places recommended and it was wonderful - thanks
Awesome!
great work as usual Patrick👍👍👍. Could you tell about Montjuic only? It is so interesting
You posted this on Oct 25, and we actually arrived in Barcelona on Oct 24! We did have 3.5 days more or less.
Great tips on how to hit all the great sites! Great video looking forward to all the great food and awesome architecture!
Thank you!
Another great vidoe!!
Patrick, great video just in time for an upcoming 2nd trip into Barcelona. We need to drink the water, so we can come back again,😅.
Haha! Thank you! Looks like you were already able to come back. Did we not drink the water on your last trip?
We must have, will find it again.
Excellent video!
I only ever watch channels by a local if I wanted an authentic guide to a city.
Thank you!

Hi mister patrick from sweden. I was in La Pineda does count as a Barcelona?
La Pineda, Sitges ?, then no, but close enough.
