Córdoba is a small city that is easy to walk around. There are many beautiful photo spots and places to visit such as
*** Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba started as a church in the 8th century. It was later transformed into a mosque in the 10th century.

Barcelona in a Blink - Unmissable Stunning Sights
When it comes to traveling in Spain, Barcelona is probably the first city that many people think of, with its unique beauty and charm of architecture, along with its rich-tasting food that suits Thais.
If you only have a short time in Barcelona, don't miss visiting the Basílica de la Sagrada Família, an architecture that took over 100 years to build (and is still not finished!). Its grandeur is stunning and stunning. Taking pictures from any angle gives a different feeling. It's truly beautiful in every way.
If you come in December, you'll experience the Christmas market atmosphere, filled with the festive atmosphere (even though there's no food, the house decorations are cute and Western-style!). But if you're starting to get hungry, try the Paella, a popular Spanish fried rice dish, or enjoy the Sangria, which you shouldn't miss when you come to Spain.
I personally recommend Tuscania Food & Wine, which is not too expensive and has delicious food that is sure to please Thais. I guarantee that Thais will love it. It's so delicious.
If you don't have much time, just stopping by this area will fill both your eyes and your heart. You definitely shouldn't miss it. #barcelona #spaintrip #Spain

❤️Stunning Park Guell-A MUST VISIT in Barcelona
🇪🇸 Buzzing Barcelona🇪🇸
Here I am at one of the most iconic spots in Park Güell—the mesmerizing serpentine bench that gracefully winds around the Plaça de la Natura, the park’s vibrant central plaza. This stunning piece of art is unlike any other in the city, inviting visitors to sit and take in the breathtaking views.
From this vantage point, I looked out beyond the park’s enchanting gingerbread-style gatehouses, where the sprawling city skyline stretched all the way to the shimmering sea. The two gatehouses themselves are beloved landmarks, each radiating Gaudí’s signature whimsy and charm. These are also my favorite part of the park, just beautiful to look at💙
As I soaked in the atmosphere, I couldn’t help but marvel at the sight of La Sagrada Família in the distance, its intricate towers rising majestically against the sky. It’s moments like these that truly capture the magic of Barcelona! 💙🌟
Highly recommend visiting this park and snap those photos with the iconic landmarks💚

💙SIPS—The No.1 Bar in the World located in Barcelona💙
🇪🇸Buzzing Barcelona🇪🇸
I definitely did not pass up the opportunity to visit “SIPS” ~ a drinkery house/cocktail
Bar located in the same area we were staying at in the Eixample neighborhood. We did have to wait in line for a while, and the line got even longer within the first 30 minutes of opening. Happy we got in as were like the 5th in line🥳
🥇Hialed and Awarded as 2023’s BEST BAR IN THE WORLD AND BEST BAR IN EUROPE
Also known as The Best Cocktail Bar in the World🏆
🍾The interior of SIPS was nothing short of a simple yet inviting bar, but one thing you will notice here is that there is no physical barrier or that long bar table, that is usually between the bartender and the customers, this creates a rather more homey vibe where one can socialize even with the bartenders themselves.
We had their Bergamot Negroni— quite a special one, as it is served with “unmelting” ice, we had their Gin infused Shakerato, their Frida Kahlo Tequila, Vodka Mil Fulls and their Mosaic. My favorite was the Bergamot Negroni👍
🍹The bartenders were really very creative and made sure they made and presented the cocktails with precision, friendly people too.
🤭As we left people still kept coming in and the place, was really busy. Many locals and tourists come to visit and I guess try to their world famous cocktails. Glad we got the chance👍

💺We were seated on the side tables with cushioned seats, and served with their drink menu. They also gave us some nibbles to eat with our drinks.
🍹We ordered their signature cocktail the ‘Manos de Dalí, or Hands of Dalí, according to SIPS, “Millions of years ago, before homo sapiens existed, we drank with our hands.” This glass is a replica of a pair of hands in which Asian pear is combined with port, Spanish brandy, and hints of cocoa.”
I really liked this one, we also had their Espresso Martini🧡

❤️Exploring Beautiful Spanish Alleys in Barcelona🇪🇸
What I love about exploring places and just getting lost and wandering about. Here we stumbled upon little alleys in Barcelona and we happen to discover a nice cafe, an interesting museum and a small church in a little square. Loved looking at the structures around too and having a little break in the cafe. The weather was very pleasant and just right for sitting outdoors too. Not to mention the nice atmosphere. Sometimes when you just wander in a city you discover little hidden gems like this. Truly why I love traveling❤️
