The well-known part of Barcelona is amazing, but I like to explore the genuine side, the neighbourhoods that were once isolated villages that give a rest of the crowds. (Less)
Food
Celler Cal Marino
It's a wine cellar and a tapas bar that's located in the trendy Poble Sec neighbourhood. They also offer craft beer and cheese of local production. Edu, the owner is lovely, ask him for advice.
Viewpoint
Cementiri de Poble Nou
It has pavilions, mausoleums and sculptures. The tombs belong to illustrous catalan figures, members of families of the bourgeoisie and there are also anonymous graves, like those of the gypsies. Walk around the beautiful graveyard!
Other
La Escocesa
Center of multidisciplinary artistic production, focused on visual arts, located in a building that used to be a chemical factory for the textile industry. Around it you'll find a lot of urban graffities.
Club
Psycho
Rock & Roll bar in which they play funk, soul, garage, grunge and every different branch of the genre. They also have live music. Good vibe and local ambiance with lots of Bowie, Ramones, Lou Reed...

You can't imagine the quantity of great things Barcelona has to offer beyond the main sights. I've loved the way the routes are planned, with plenty of options to eat or drink (super locals) along the way. Maybe the only problem would be that daily routes are a bit too long... But you can just stop anytime in fact... (Less)

The places suggested were great, but they were too many so we couldn't visit some of them.
