Fundació Joan Miró
This hidden museum was an absolute favorite in Barcelona. Not only I adore the works of Miró, but the huge modern building and calm courtyard terrace got us to stay here for hours.

Barcelona Pavilion by Mies van der Rohe
The Barcelona Pavilion was the first thing I wanted to see at Barcelona. As everyone maybe knows, I’m a huge fan of Mies van der Rohe and it’s always a dream come true to get to experience beautiful architecture on the spot. I wish I could’ve been able to capture the light as it was inside, reflecting from the light marble and transforming through the blue glass windows. So beautiful.
I recently spent a long weekend in Barcelona. It was my second time in the city , although might say the first, since the last time was over 10 years ago. I didn’t have high expectations, as I never particularly dreamed about travelling there and especially while living in Paris, I rather travel to less touristic places. But I’m very positively surprised. By avoiding the most common attractions and with a bit of a research Barcelona has a lot to give.
My favorite day was one spent at the Montjuïc hill, visiting Miró Foundation and obviously Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion which was nearby, and getting lost from time to time and ending up to the most beautiful small gardens.
