Barcelona vlog ♡ sight-seeing, girls trip, food reviews, beaches & more
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
This video documents a heartwarming girls' trip where a daughter and her mother spend an entire week exploring Barcelona together. The journey begins at their luxurious stay at the Majestic Hotel in the Passage de Gràcia neighborhood, which they praise for its beautiful decor, romantic atmosphere, and award-winning breakfast that rivals high-end hotels like the Mandarin in Dubai. Throughout the vlog, the duo enjoys sunny weather while navigating a mix of excitement and minor health challenges; the mother suffers from recurring throat issues ranging from tonsillitis to uveitis, requiring salt water gargles and eventually an online doctor consultation via Traveldoctor.es.com that provides prescriptions quickly for travelers abroad. Despite these ailments, their enthusiasm remains high as they plan meals, shop for outfits featuring matching linen sets, and prepare to support the Spanish national team during a World Cup match from their hotel room.
The couple immerses themselves in Barcelona's rich culture by visiting iconic landmarks designed by architect Antoni Gaudí, most notably Park Güell. They express awe at the stunning architecture and panoramic city views from atop the park, though they note that tickets must be booked well in advance for interior access. Their sightseeing is interspersed with culinary adventures that yield mixed results; while they initially try octopus at a food market only to find it unappetizingly rubbery and microwaved, they later enjoy pizza and tapas elsewhere. The trip also includes relaxing moments such as spa treatments, sunbathing at the tiny rooftop pool of their hotel, and visiting larger beach clubs like Bastion Beach Club for better facilities and views of famous yachts.
As the week draws to a close, the vlog captures both the vibrant energy of the city and some humorous family dynamics. The daughter playfully teases her mother about constantly wearing white linen outfits and jokingly asks if she gets bored with her, before reaffirming their deep bond through heartfelt messages about love being more important than material value during holidays. On their final day, they do last-minute shopping at the Forum area near a Chanel store inside their hotel but miss out on purchasing a desired Kelly bag as it is sold out. They conclude by recommending staying in the Passage de Gràcia district for travelers who wish to explore art and history rather than spending every moment by the beach, ending with a farewell that highlights how much they cherished this shared experience despite minor inconveniences like feeling sick after seafood dinners or losing their voices from overuse.

>> But I'm very good now.
>> Good. Hopefully she'll feel better soon.
Um we're so excited to have the
breakfast at our hotel cuz the lady was
telling us that apparently it's won an
award for the best hotel breakfast in
Barcelona. So we're like, "What are you
serving?" And so now we're really
excited to see. Um and you guys are
going to see with us cuz I I bet I would
be curious if I was watching a YouTuber
and they were telling me they were
having
the award-winning breakfast of
Barcelona.

everything.
It's very romantic and the service is
very good.
This blessing. The service is pretty
good, actually. Like it's very polite.
>> Very polite.
>> And accommodating. I like them.
>> We're just doing some more sightseeing.
Mom, who is the architect?
Gaudi.
>> But Gaudi. Gaudi. This one when I was a
child, I'm not good on the name.
>> Okay.
>> Gaudi.
>> Oh, Owdy Gaudi.
>> Guys, I literally cannot believe that.
We turned a corner
and I think this might be one of the
most incredible things
I've ever seen in my life. Like
wow. You can see people behind me's
reaction.
It is just
insane. Insane how amazing it is.
My god.
Wow.
I don't even think you can see me in
this light, but
it's incredible.
Are you not shocked, Mom, at how But
you've seen this before.
>> because I saw it before.
>> But it's amazing.
>> Look at the architecture.
>> Yeah.
Incredible. Incredible.
I wonder how many floors it goes up.
We don't have tickets to go inside,
unfortunately, but I would have loved to
see, but apparently you have to book
them way in advance. So, hopefully next
time.
We are in Park Güell.
Um it is another
gorgeous Gaudi
destination and it's like on top of the
city, so you get to see the whole city.
>> And we have their stairs.
>> Wow, cobble stairs.
>> They are lovely.
>> Very, very pretty.
Guys, this is such a top tip, okay? Cuz
we're literally at the top of Park
Güell, and my mom has been suffering
with strep throat all day, aka
tonsillitis or uvitis. And um I called
the hotel and they said that they
[music] would need to call a doctor to
the room, and she needed to go back,
wait for the doctor, and it's €150 for a
consult. But we just got it off
traveldoctor.es.com,
and they do it [music] in any of like
the Spanish-speaking countries, the
doctor speak English, and here is
WhatsApping us the prescription. So, and
and we [music] did it up here.
Literally, I found the website in 1
minute, and we we applied for a
consultation, [music] and the same
minute we got the consultation.
>> Exactly. That's fantastic. Thank you
very much, my honey.
>> No worries. Mwah. But yeah, [music] just
thought as a
person abroad, it'd be good to know.
Wow.
We are just sat here watching the view.
>> It's really beautiful.
Very nice.
And the music is good.
>> Wind.
>> Yeah, we're in the shade.
>> Lovely music.
And you can see all of Barcelona.
It's
a beautiful
beautiful city.
>> The best mom.
Love you.
>> My prayers has been
answered.
Thanks God for everything.
Honestly.
Me and my mom had some say it's
interesting that this is an important
house. So, here I am recording it, but I
actually don't know what it is.
Here we are.
Feel like we should know the names of
all these things that we're seeing.
We're so bad, but
so cool.
We've come to a food market here in
Barcelona.
And it's so cool.
Wow.
>> [music]
[music]
>> We're going to try.
Okay, guys. What should I try? I'm going
to try
I think it's octopus.
>> I am not going to lie, guys. I did not
enjoy that food market at all.
>> The The
>> they do food? I think
>> Yeah, the food just didn't taste fresh
and the
>> They put in the microwave.
>> Yeah, I'm quite sure it was like
microwave food.
I couldn't chew it. Like literally all I
got was the
Like elastic. All I got was the um like
fried bit, like not actually the fish.
Like the fish just came off. It was
awful.
And I feel sick. So, I'm hoping
that passes. And we literally had one
bite each and like that.
So,
we're going to walk now to the beach
and find a restaurant there to eat.
We've come to the Time Out food market
in Barcelona. Taste of the this food
market that's way better.
Uh loads of options. We both didn't know
what to pick cuz we felt a bit sick from
the other day.
So, we ended up going for a pizza. I
feel like if we want an empty stomach,
we would have had more tapas.
>> Yes.
>> Yeah.
Um we're have We're going to share a
pizza.
That's my choice.
Not good.
Um Egypt is up 1-0. Love. Egypt is up
1-0. Love you my Egyptians.
And very exciting. There was a lot of
like hustle and bustle as well in the
market.
Um when Egypt scored they just scored a
second goal but they took it away from
them. But I have faith. Egypt is doing
so well. So
>> [singing]
[music]
>> We're having some drinks
on the terrace.
Yes.
>> [music]
>> Cheers.
Lovely tea.
Ginger
and lemon and honey.
>> [music]
>> I have a rosé.
And this is the terrace of our hotel.
>> [music]
>> It's beautiful. It's the famous
celebrity yacht
Amelia.
And then
>> Breakfast of champions. I had also
started my period. What was it last
night? So,
guess this is what I had for breakfast.
I don't think I can eat it all, but I
just want all the flavors and I really
want to try that breakfast. The best
breakfast I've actually had
is at the Mandarin in Dubai. And any of
you guys who watched my last Dubai vlog,
which was in September, will have seen
all the going on there. I kept writing
you breakfast messages on the breakfast.
And
so, we're going to see if this one holds
up because their breakfast actually is
very high.
Moment of truth.
I'm going to get another chocolate.
Really wish my dad was here. Yummy. I
didn't ask for syrup, so it's a little
bit extra sweet.
But they got it and it's so very yummy.
The Mandarin one is still my favorite,
but this is still really really yummy.
Guys, [music] this water literally has
my name on it.
Mhm.
This is my outfit of the day for the
beach. We're going to Bastion Beach Club
and it's just like a pool, I think, with
like food and we want to sunbathe cuz
the pool on our roof of our hotel is
actually tiny. I don't think it's
designed to go inside. So, um today is
like our chill day. We went to the spa
this morning and it was so relaxing and
um just went in the water, got facials,
chilled, like spa, sauna, jacuzzi, etc.
And then I've just come back, showered,
washed my hair, and we're going to the
beach. And yeah, it's our last like full
day here. So, this is my mom's outfit.
Very cute.
Yeah.
Super cute. Okay, let's go.
>> [music]
[bell]
[music]
>> Just having a lazy
pool day today.
I think we decided after like hitting
like 10k steps
every single day.
Actually, I think we did like we hit
30k.
But, anyway, we are just laying here.
It's like almost 3:00 p.m.
No,
6:00 p.m. So, yeah, I'm tired.
And we're just relaxing and
enjoying the view.
And there is like good music vibes.
So,
just a good time.
>> [music]
[music]
>> We're back at our hotel.
We spent all day at the beach. I don't
know if I'm tanned, but
it was incredible. Now, we're going to
shower and change. Then, we're going
back
to
Going back to [music] the beach area
after
for dinner.
I feel like Barcelona and everything is
so close together.
And [music] it's just really cool how
you can like have all this beautiful art
to see and [music] like so much
exploring and honestly so much history
and culture in [music] a relatively
small city because it's a 10th of the
size of London. But at the same time,
you can then go to the beach, which is
cool.
>> [music]
>> This is I.
Wash your hands.
It is our last night here in Barcelona.
And we're going for dinner together next
to Barcelona. I think it's called
Barceloneta. It's by the beach, very
close to where we were now.
And um
there's a restaurant that a lady who was
sat next to me and my mom on the plane
recommended to us called 7 Portes.
Um, she said all the restaurants in that
area are nice. So, we're going to see
the 7 Portes and the other ones in that
area and pick one.
Yeah, that's the one 7 Portes.
Um,
but my mom has said four times already
that she really wants patatas bravas
before we go. So, we need to get this
lady some patatas bravas
and some really good tapas, I think, as
well would be a good idea.
Um, so that is what we're going to do.
It's just so pretty here.
My mom is here.
We have a recommended restaurant here.
Because we're in the city.
Show you outfit?
Okay.
You're such a princess.
You're so cute!
Guys, my mom literally offended me cuz
she was like, "Do you not get [music]
bored with me?" What do you mean? Do you
get bored with me?
Yeah.
Come on. So, then how can I come
>> How do you say that? No, because
uh I'm young, but it's not people and
young people together.
>> It can be boring.
>> Whatever. I don't know, my voice is
>> going
>> going down, but
And
anyway,
no, I love her.
>> I had a best
>> Well, I hope you will look after me.
And then
>> Let's see on your phone.
>> I'll see.
>> We still have to go.
>> And she tried to I have a really nice
time.
I'm proud of you.
>> I'm proud of you, too.
>> I want to say something to
girls or boys, doesn't matter, the
children.
Doesn't matter your parents on holiday
or they don't have
Present is not about value, not about
the money, it's about love.
Try to spend the time with your parents.
Doesn't matter if any that beautifulest
place in the world or if in the park.
For parents, that is a heaven when you
when
when they are with their children.
>> Love you.
>> I love you.
I think the only things
that maybe she love because all the time
she repeat about the white um table
cloth.
>> Yes.
>> That's why I think she love it. But I
think it is I think in pavement
and
it is
>> It's in a nice place.
>> It is in a nice place. It is in paint
pigment.
>> Yeah, yeah.
>> And
>> She wants to be by the beach.
>> Yes.
I think that to be honest is boring.
>> [laughter]
>> You're such a sassy diva.
>> It's
Oh, yeah.
It's a lovely area.
>> Mom?
In a country setting.
>> I didn't you
>> It's the first restaurant on this
Yeah.
And
>> It's beautiful.
Did you I want to say something in
Farsi.
After we can translate.
And you have to repeat anything I say as
well.
Which translates
It translates to thank God
for all of the blessings that you've
given me and I am worthy of
Gracias.
>> [laughter]
[laughter]
>> Guys, even though we had such great
food, we both feel so sick. So, we don't
know if it's cuz we had too much seafood
or if it was bad food, but we're saying
that it was so busy that it's unlikely
that it was a fresh.
But anyway, we're back at our hotel now.
And um
here's hoping that we feel better
when we go to bed.
>> Yes.
We're feeling a bit
sickly.
She's She's feeling so sick and she
still wants to go and see
>> So sick.
>> She still wants to go and see what's
going on.
>> So
sick.
>> I think she feels a mixture
of ill
and this
>> [music]
>> It's our last day
here in Barcelona. We did some shopping.
We're
We're in the girl land, which is
the forum.
We went to the Chanel store cuz it was
literally inside our hotel. It would
have been really good to
buy a bag that I saw on the first day
that I wanted to get. I should have just
got it on the first day cuz it was sold
out. The
Chanel Kelly.
But we move
And it wasn't meant to be, even if it
was.
>> And my voice is gone.
>> My mom's lost her voice.
But, um yeah, we have to leave for the
airport in an hour.
So, we are just doing some last-minute
walking around, going going to go to
Sephora. And like literally, this is the
road of our hotel, and this is like one
of the Gaudi buildings.
So, I actually recommend like stay in
Passatge de Gràcia, because you're so
close to everything. Um unless you
really just want to spend all your time
by the beach.
>> I don't think so.
That would be interesting.
Champs-Élysées
That's a long
>> Which hotel?
>> The beach one.
>> Yeah. So, unless you just want to spend
all your time
>> Oh my god, look at that. It's so pretty.
>> Yeah, if you just want to spend all the
time at the beach, then yeah, stay at
like either W or Arts. But, I think if
you want to explore the city like we
did, then I really recommend our hotel.
It was called the Majestic, if I've not
already said. I think I have said.
>> It was so beautiful.
>> Yeah.
>> It was the best.
>> My mom sounds like Harry
My mom sounds like My mom sounds like
Harry Kane in that interview. My
camera's going to die, but this is the
end of the vlog.
