Home of Barcelona football club. The past few times I've gone to see them has been ridiculous because they're too good. During the day it's packed and there are thousands of people on the streets

There’s a museum up the stairs which is cool. If you go running at night time up to the Montjuic there’s the Olympic stadium, which was renovated in 1989 for the Barcelona Olympics. It’s quiet and it's beautiful.

Twice a week, a select few people are invited to partake in an Egosex rehearsal in their studio in Poblenou. The band classifies their music as ‘Jungle Trance Blues’ and is best when heard live

A place for all the young fashion designers in Barcelona trying to realise their ideas. Martin and his team are the most passionate and down to earth catalysts in the city behind the curtains

Of all the bars I really like Quimet. They have tapas and conservas. I used to live really close so this was the bar I went to all the time

It's the best party in Barcelona. You'll need to drink but it's definitely the best party in town

This place is really special. When we had the Olympics here they built a pool with a super high trampoline where you can see all of Barcelona. They built a shitty bar there too, it’s not fancy at all but that’s why I like it. It’s good for the views, having a beer with your friends and watching the sunset

I really like this gallery. It's also in Montjuic so stop by when you're there

I really like pizza and Italian food. It’s really good here. It’s a bit expensive, but not super expensive and they have really good wines. It's run by two twin brothers and I really recommend this one I love it. Everything’s super good, the spaghetti and squid ink pasta super good

It's super crowded but they've opened an exhibition on Picasso with photography which is really nice. I've been lucky to have been documenting the installation and stuff so I got a sneak peek. There are loads of cool sculptures too.

I've been going here since I was super young - this is a good club to go to in Barcelona

We’re super lucky in Barcelona to have the sea here, it's super important for me. Whenever I have some free space, I used to go to where the beach is separated by stones because I hate sand. I have my own stone that I sit on, relax and have my legs in the water. I really like this stone. There’s not thousands of tourists so you can be chill alone and naked too
