Puerto Olimpico is the area of Barcelona where the 1992 Olympic Games were held. Post-Games, this area was abandoned, however years later businesses and restaurants began developing, mostly centered around Barcelonesa, which is the “fisherman’s district” made of narrow streets lined with hundreds of anchored boats and the aroma of the sea wafting through the air. This is where we would be dining for the evening.
We were so hungry, that we ended up choosing the first restaurant we saw, which was La Fonda Del Port Olimpic. Thankfully, our stomachs choose very well! The tapas and sangria there were divine, and just solidified for me that Spanish cuisine is the best in the world.
After dinner, we had the intention of going to a club, but we were still battling jetlag. I am not sure I made the best decision, being the older (and wiser) big sister, however I suggested to my brother that we share a hookah at a nearby Moroccan café. He had never tried one before and as you can tell from the picture below, he very much enjoyed his first experience.
Around 2AM, we returned to our hotel ready for sleep and excited about exploring Barcelona the next day.
You do deserve the award for being the coolest sister in the world! And the cutest too! Your outfits are great, and best part of all, is that I can tell you are having a fabulous time on your travels!
I love Barcelona, though I can’t agree with you that the Spanish cuisine is the best in the world. In my book, that place is reserved for the Italian cuisine.
Amazing shots Andi. You always look so happy! And hookahs are so much fun 🙂
Barcelona is on my list of places to hit up next summer. Looks awesome and now I really can’t wait… even just for the food!
You do deserve that title! I bet he had a lot of fun.
I LOVE the photo of the boats at sunset. Gorgeous. Looks like you had a great time with your bro!
I love the centre photo here! Also you guys manage to look far cooler with the hookah than I did in Malaysia… it does not come naturally to me!
You are the coolest sister!!! I love the 2nd picture. So beautiful!
Ah Barcelona! I love it =)
Ha! Lots of fun with the hookah! You do deserve the “Coolest Sister in the World” award! Love the sunset picture! 🙂

Barcelona is one of my favorite cities in Spain! And yes, you totally deserve the “coolest sister” award! I wish you were my sister!!! =)

I was just in Barcelona myself 2 weekends ago! I wonder if we crossed paths? I fell in love with this city too, and one weekend was not nearly enough time to see it all–I can’t wait to return. Working on my Barcelona post now, I’ll let you know when it’s up!
