Barcelona

The roof is the selling point - a lovely pool, good views, and quiet when you need it. A solid base for the city.

A truly luxurious stay - extremely accommodating staff, beautiful views over the marina, great facilities and great food to go with them. Hard to check out of.

Brought a big crowd and did a multi-course tapas-style run through the menu - incredible. Out on the L'Hospitalet edge of the city and worth the trip.

A strongly themed Mexican bar and restaurant. Had a selection of food here with a big group - the home-made avo included. Embrace the bar's theme and grab a Mexmule, or some mezcal if you're up for it.

A lovely view of the marina and some exquisite seafood to go with it. Get a table outside and take your time.

Went for a techno night - a very small venue with a great sound system. No frills, just a dark room that takes the music seriously.

Drink prices rise and fall like a stock market, crash and all - lots of fun and best with a crowd, buying rounds when the market dips.

Drinks on the roof of the Kimpton Vividora, looking out over the Gothic Quarter. A proper golden-hour spot.

A cool little rooftop bar on top of The Hoxton, Poblenou - bathed in neon thanks to sitting right next to the Torre Glòries. Good city views, including the Sagrada Família.
