We recently visited Barcelona, on the last leg of our European holiday, with a meatloaf. Meatloaf being our pug — full name Mister Meatloaf. Yes, we willingly traveled over 10,000 miles with our pug. No, we are not your typical dog parents. Yes, he is very spoiled. Here is what four days in Barcelona with a Meatloaf looks like.

Visiting Barcelona: Day 1 

First stop was Nømad Coffee in the Gothic Quarter, our first third wave coffee in a few days. What Italy lacked in $5 coffee, they surely made up for with pasta. 
 
We spent the afternoon getting lost zig-zagging through the twisting alleys of the Gothic Quarter, eventually coming upon the Catedral de Barcelona, a mighty example of Gothic architecture.

Next stop, more coffee. Yes, we like coffee and we like it expensive and hip. Satan’s Coffee, with its distinctive yellow benches outside, is the perfect place for an afternoon pour over while you people watch.

With both Mister and Papa full of coffee and food, I could finally get them to go shopping. Whenever we travel, I love visiting local dog stores. I’m picky, I won’t buy something just to say I bought it in “x” place. I want it to be authentic to the place we are visiting. Caninetto was just that. The owners and designers were so accommodating, it felt more like a personal styling session. And much to Mister’s delight, they were also very giving with the treats. We would have definitely walked out with the whole store, but alas luggage weight limits exist.

On our way back to our hotel, we walked by a floor to ceiling window display of “cloud” pastries. No idea what they were, so we fondly refer to them as cloud pastries. So light and decadent. 10/10, would recommend.

And of course visiting Gaudí’s first house, Casa Vicens. With an art degree, I’ve seen a lot of art in my days. The tiling and architecture here easily make this one of the top three pieces of art I’ve ever seen.
