The Best Ice Cream in Barcelona : Homemade Is Always Better !

Summer is here! It is very hot in Barcelona and there is a constant influx of tourists. Why do tourists choose Barcelona for their holidays? Firstly, it has some of the best beaches in Europe where you can relax and enjoy the fresh air. There are tourist areas such as Barceloneta, Gracia, Las Ramblas that are well worth a visit. The impressive buildings designed by Gaudi are another incredible sight in Barcelona, one of his most famous being the Sagrada Familia. As in any other Spanish city, there are tapas bars not to be missed in Barcelona . Even if you only have one chance to go during your stay you must eat at one of them. What I like most in the city during this hot period, however, is its homemade ice cream. Here we share with you some of the best places to go to enjoy a homemade ice cream in Barcelona!
