'I live in Barcelona – you must not do these five things if you come as a tourist'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A British woman residing in Barcelona has shared five crucial tips for tourists planning to visit the city. Anna, or @annainbarcelona on TikTok, has more than 22,000 followers on the video-sharing platform, where she posts travel and Spanish language advice.

In a recent video, that has been viewed more than 816,000 times, she lists "things you shouldn't do if you're visiting Barcelona".

Firstly, Anna advises against packing heels for the trip. She says: "Leave the heels at home girl, you're not going to use them." This is due to the city's cobblestone and tiled streets, which are often uneven, making it difficult to walk in heels.

A local resident writes on Solo Female Travellers: "Stilettos and very high heels are uncommon in Barcelona (we like to walk a lot and the signature pavement tiles of the city are uneven)." Secondly, Anna warns tourists against eating or drinking on La Rambla, Barcelona's most famous street.
