Museu Tèxtil i d’Indumentà ria is an interesting site in Barcelona that is worth visiting. This museum is situated opposite Picasso Museum and it is part of the heritage core of Disseny Hub Barcelona. In this site you can see wonderful dresses and jewellery, among many other goods.
You can also appreciate interesting collections of lacework and religious clothing in the Museu Tèxtil i d’Indumentà ria. This museum that is divided into three sections (textiles, lace and clothes) gives you the opportunity to see what has happened in fashion from Ancient Egypt up to the present day. Its telephone number is 93 256 34 65 and its address is Av. Diagonal, 686.
It must be said that this museum has access for people with reduced mobility and has a lift. The admission fee is €4.20 but there is free admission to the study galleries and Disseny Hub Barcelona on the first Sunday of every month. (Information taken from its official web page).
Tourists who visit this museum usually also visit the zoo that is relatively close to it. I must say that I didn’t find a hotel close to this attraction but the Colon Hotel is one of the most convenient and pleasant ones that is not so far away from the Museu Tèxtil i d’Indumentà ria.
If you haven’t decided yet your next holiday destination, consider the different tourist destinations in Argentina where you will find several types of tourism to enjoy. If you are keen on adventure, Mount Aconcagua is waiting for you to come and enjoy great expeditions to it.

Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA or Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art) is an imposing building where you can admire a significant collection of artworks from the last five decades. It also houses temporary exhibitions related to culture and art. This museum is definitively worth visiting.
According to the free encyclopedia, Wikipedia, there is a part of the museum where you can enjoy regular video art performances and that the collections of this museum focus on post-1945 Catalan and Spanish art but there is also foreign art in it. The entrance fee is approximately 6 €.
You can also enjoy guided visits by experienced and qualified guides. The address of this interesting museum is Plaça dels Angels Nº 1 and its telephone number is +34 934120810. It is advisable to look for additional information in the official web page of MACBA (macab.es). It must be said that there is another excellent art museum close to MACBA which is Centre de Cultura Contemporania de Barcelona (CCCB). This museum is also worth visiting in this great tourist destination in Spain.
I suppose that there are at least bilingual personnel in both museums since they are also visited by tourists from different parts of the world. However, it is always a good idea to improve your Spanish by taking intensive Spanish certified courses.

This is an outstanding tourist attraction in Barcelona. 
It is not completely open since part of it is under restoration. There you can see the restored façade which is beautiful. Although tourists and locals can see parts of this building, it is worth visiting.
The Palau Guell is considered one of the most luxurious buildings in Barcelona which was designed by Antoni GaudÃ. It is close to the Ramblas, which is another wonderful tourist attraction. This palace was built between 1886 and 1888 with the best materials available at that time. Its entrance doors have the initials of the owner (E and G).
In the interior of this palace you can appreciate its fabulous decoration which shows the excellent taste of the architect, Gaudi, who also designed various windows and other elements. The Catalan architect, Gaudi, is widely recognized for its fantastic works.

Spanish is one of the official languages in Barcelona but if you don’t speak it very well don’t worry since you can do intensive Spanish certified courses.
This tourist destination in Spain has other wonderful buildings that you should visit. But if you are planning your next vacation and you are also looking for adventure, we recommend you to travel to Mendoza, Argentina where you can enjoy fabulous Aconcagua expeditions.
