Important to know about Barcelona
Camper place to visit nearby Barcelona
There are different options to park your camper to discover Barcelona. You can decide to park for free, a little fee or on a secure campsite.
One of the little fee/free parking places is this official camper place in Montmeló. With a 10-minute walk, you are at the train station where you can buy your tickets towards Barcelona. This is only €5.60 for 2 single tickets towards Barcelona. You can decide which station you want to go to. For example, we went to El Clot Aragó and took the train back to Montmeló at Passeig de Gracia. In total, we paid €11.20 for two return tickets from Central Barcelona towards Montmeló. Barcelona is a big city, and you can decide what you want to do and how many days you want to discover Barcelona. However, the official time that is permitted on the Montmeló parking spot is 48 hours, so keep that in mind. On the parking place is a dumping station, garbage bins and fresh water for free.
One of the more expensive places is this Area Camper Barcelona Beach. Which is 18 euros in low season and 25 in high season. This place is next to the beach and also a 10minute walk to the train station. We do not have any experience with this place, but it has high rates reviews. It is also suggested that you can bike to Barcelona in 40 minutes along the beach from this camper place. It is approximately 7.50 euros for a return ticket from the camper place to the city center of Barcelona.

Highlights of Barcelona
The details that you can find throughout the city are beautiful. It has many architectural buildings. Although it is a busy city center, it is a perfect place to stroll around. There are a couple of highlights in Barcelona that are worth a visit.
- Sagrada Família; This unfinished church originally designed by Gaudí is still under construction. It is worth to go inside to see the beautiful colored window glass. The recently added star makes it definitely worth to walk by this building. The star is huge and gorgeous, but the basilica itself is still under construction.
- Cascada del Parc de la Ciutadella; This beautiful fountain from the 19th century is situated in a beautiful park. Watch closely, because in the middle there is a statue of Venus.
- Cathedral of Barcelona; Beautiful Gothic Cathedral
- Casa Batlló; Gaudí not only designed the Sagrada Família, but you can also find houses in the city that are designed by him. This is one of them.
- Park Güell; Want to see more of Gaudí? Then this is the place you need to visit. The entrance is only 10 euros and definitely worth it. Make sure you take enough time to visit this place, so you can wander around and not rush it.
- Magic Fountain of Montjuïc; This beautiful fountain becomes magical at night. A light show will light up the fountain, and you can enjoy the beautiful colors dancing around, but make sure to check the times for the show in advance.
Vegan Food places
Beside the architecture, there are also a lot of good restaurants and even fruit trees in the park. Barcelona is a perfect city to enjoy vegan food. We had a lovely lunch at the vegan Junk Food Bar, which is one of the many vegan places in Barcelona. Besides junk food you can go for sushi, tacos, curries or noodles. There is something vegan for everything you desire. We love to use HappyCow to find good vegan spots in a city. There are also tons of locations where you can find delicious fresh fruits to snack on. As a vegan, Barcelona is a good place to go to for the food.
