Highlight
El Born is a beauty; a distant, though not too distant, alternative to a busier Barcelona barrio such as the all-too-popular Las Ramblas.
Lowlight
It can be difficult, especially for the jet-lagged, to stay awake long enough for Barcelona’s night owl dining hours, so don’t be coy about making your main meal a daytime affair.
