The week of my dreams in Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona had been calling my name for years, and our full week there somehow exceeded every expectation. From Gaudí masterpieces and colorful markets to tapas in El Born, rooftop sunsets, hidden cocktail bars, and slow afternoons wandering the Gothic Quarter, here’s our 7-day Barcelona itinerary filled with everything we ate, loved, and would absolutely do again.

This Week’s Menu

This week’s meal plan is full of easy dinners, flavorful leftovers, and a few comfort-food favorites that make busy weeknights feel a little more manageable. We’re keeping things simple with red thai curry chicken, grilled pork loin with mashed potatoes, salmon tacos, spicy chicken ramen, and a Friday pizza night to wrap up the week.
