Featuring golden arcades, stained windows, and rich ornaments, the concert hall of Palau de la Musica Catalana is a mesmeric place to photograph. The façade of the building is also beautiful, but it’s difficult to find a good angle due to the narrowness of the street. Más información

During match season, the hotels in the surrounding areas of Camp Nou get booked up pretty quickly, so make sure to reserve yours in advance! Más información
