Best day trips from Bangkok

May 25, 2024: Today, we filmed around Barcelona with two hosts, Ari Dalmau and Claudia Pons. We start at Barceloneta Beach where Ari and Claudia enjoy a sangria at the beach.

We then head to the National Museum of Catalunya and the gardens of Montjuic.

We get dinner at El Pollo Restaurant, which is famous for their tortillas patatas. (This is singer Rosalia’s favorite spot.)

We then end the night at Nevermind skater bar and dancing at Mint Bar.
