Starting at Museu Picasso, I head down Carrer de Montcada, where the scent of fresh bread from nearby bakeries fills the air. The cobblestones beneath my feet feel uneven, adding to the charm of the streets. As I stroll towards Fundació Joan Miró, I pass through Parc de la Ciutadella, where laughter and the sound of children playing mix with the rustling leaves. The walk’s a delightful blend of art, nature, and the city's pulse, making the journey just as enjoyable as the destination.
