3 nights · 4 days · independently chosen and separately booked

Dates label this outline and flag known closing days. They do not check availability or go to suppliers. Choose dates and guests again when booking. Exceptional closures still need checking.

Day 1

An old-town evening

Check in and explore a few nearby squares. Reserve dinner independently if a particular restaurant matters to you.

Day 2

Art and a market lunch

Make Picasso the morning anchor. Walk on to Santa Caterina for lunch if trading hours suit; on Sunday choose a separately checked restaurant instead. Allow at least an hour between timed visits.

Day 3

El Born to the waterfront

Start around Santa Maria del Mar, then leave time to walk towards the water and choose lunch. In winter, this is a coastal walk, not a beach-swimming promise. If the weather is poor, consider a separately booked Palau visit.

Day 4

A final slow breakfast

Allow for checkout, bags and the onward journey. No timed attraction is built into departure day.
