Ouigo's secret tip:

We suggest you visit the Alhambra palace. Yes, you read it correctly. Barcelona is home to a replica of Granada’s gem. Located in the district of Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, in the street Berlinès 5, the façade of this building is decorated with Moorish architectural elements, and inside it you can find a copy of the Patio de los Leones. Discover its romantic story.
