Once you’ve seen Barcelona, you won’t soon forget its infectious beauty. Musement takes a look at some local Instagramers who gorgeously capture the appeal of the Catalan capital.
From distinct architecture to the serene Mediterranean sea to world-renowned cuisine, Barcelona is a wonder. Once the Catalan capital beckons, you’ll be hungry for more.
To get your Barcelona fix, here are five Barcelona-based Instagram accounts you should follow.
1. @msubirats
A professional photographer, Manuel Subirats shares the best of Barcelona and Catalonia–as well as his travels. From familiar city sights to hidden corners to everyday people, his Instagram feed showcases the city’s vitalizing spirit.
This collective Instagram account highlights sharp city shots shared by a variety of photographers who tag #bcnexploradores. Expect an array of eye candy from a myriad of perspectives, all of which never fail to show Barcelona at its most charming.
A photographer and food and travel writer, Sam Zucker loves his adopted city and it shows. Whether it’s a magical beam of light in a narrow alleyway or a close-up, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it facade detail or simply passers-by going about their day, his captures of candid moments offer a glimpse of Barcelona at its most authentic.
4. @stoptheroc
Architectural photographer Roc Isern makes Barcelona even more mesmerizing. His facade and interior shots have a strong focus on detail, which lets you see the city from an incredibly enchanting, yet completely different viewpoint.
It’s no secret that Barcelona is a must-visit for food pilgrims, and Maria’s Instagram feed and blog are a go-to for what to eat and where when you’re in town. From sweets to burgers to traditional dishes and everything in between, her Instagram will satisfy the appetites of the gourmet-minded travelers out there.
Bonus: @bravasbarcelona
Since it’s impossible to visit Barcelona without eating patatas bravas, we’d be remiss if we didn’t give an honorable mention to @brabasbarcelona. In 2009, Soy Edu embarked on a mission to sample patatas bravas at every establishment that serves this classic in the Catalan capital. His feed showcases the various incarnations he has sampled over the last nine years from traditional to deconstructed to everything in between. Yum!
