From Chennai Airport you’ll be looking at a long-haul journey via Doha, Dubai, or Istanbul into Barcelona El Prat (BCN), so the best move is to land with the least friction possible: pre-book a private transfer or taxi, especially after an overnight arrival when you’ll just want to get moving. From BCN to Eixample is usually about 25–35 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, and if you’re arriving early morning or mid-day, check-in may not be ready yet, so ask the hotel to store bags and use the lobby to freshen up. For a first day, keep expectations light—Barcelona is best when you ease into it rather than trying to “do” the city in one go.
Choose a base around Eixample because it keeps everything easy for your group: broad avenues, safe-feeling streets, good cafés, and quick access to both shopping and sightseeing. Once you’re checked in, take a little time to shower, change, and reset—this neighborhood is ideal for a slow first afternoon because you can walk everywhere without committing to a full itinerary. If the room isn’t ready, grab a coffee at Brunch & Cake or Satan’s Coffee Corner and wait it out; both are good for a relaxed first stop and won’t waste your energy.
Head out for an easy wander along Passeig de Gràcia, Barcelona’s most elegant boulevard, where you’ll immediately get the city’s feel through its modernist façades, polished boutiques, and the kind of people-watching that somehow becomes an activity in itself. Keep this as a gentle walk, not a rush—stop for photos at Casa Amatller and then continue to Casa Batlló, which is the one “must-do” sight that works perfectly on arrival day because it’s visually stunning without requiring a whole museum-level commitment. Expect about €35–45 per person for the standard experience; book a timed slot in advance and aim for late afternoon when the light is beautiful and the interiors feel less crowded. If you want a quick luxury-shopping teaser without making this your full shopping day, this avenue also has Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Cartier, Bvlgari, and Loewe clustered within a short walk.
For dinner, Cervecería Catalana is the right kind of first-night place: lively, efficient, classic, and flexible for a group of six. Go for shared plates—patatas bravas, padrón peppers, jamón ibérico, croquetas, grilled prawns, and a couple of bottles of cava—expect roughly €25–40 per person depending on how much you order. It’s usually busy from about 8:30 pm onward, so either go early or be ready for a short wait; the upside is that service is quick and the vibe is exactly what you want on day one. If everyone still has some life left after dinner, take a short 10-minute walk to Jardins de la Torre de les Aigües, a tucked-away local courtyard in Eixample where you can decompress away from the city buzz before calling it a night.
Ease into the day with an unhurried walk through Barri Gòtic. This is the part of Barcelona that feels most like a movie set, but in real life: narrow lanes, quiet little squares, old stone balconies, and sudden pockets of sunlight. Go early, around 9:00 AM, before the tour groups fully arrive, and just wander without a map for the first hour and a half. Keep an eye out for small artisan shops and side streets off Carrer del Bisbe and around Plaça de Sant Jaume; that’s where the atmosphere is best. From there, step into Barcelona Cathedral right in the heart of the old town. Entry to the cathedral is usually around €14–16, and the rooftop/cloister combo is worth it for the calm and the views. It’s typically open from morning through early evening, but mornings are the quietest time and best for photos.
From the cathedral, walk a few minutes over to Plaça Reial for a short coffee stop. It’s one of those places that can feel touristy if you sit too long, but for a quick pause it’s perfect — palm trees, arcades, and a very Barcelona vibe. Grab an espresso or a cortado at one of the terrace cafés and just people-watch for half an hour. Then continue on foot to La Boqueria on La Rambla, which is about a 5-minute walk away. The market is best for browsing rather than a heavy meal, so do the fun part first: fruit cups, jamón, olives, fresh juices, and seafood counters all packed into one lively space. Try to get there before 1:00 PM, because it gets crowded fast and some stalls start winding down later in the afternoon.
For lunch, settle into Bar Celta Pulpería near La Boqueria / El Raval and keep it relaxed. It’s a good stop after market wandering because the pace is less chaotic than the big tapas bars on the main drag, and the seafood-forward menu fits the area well. Expect around €20–35 per person depending on whether you go for a few tapas, octopus, grilled fish, and a drink or two. If you’re in a group of six, it’s smart to arrive a little before the lunch rush, around 1:00 PM, so you don’t have to wait long for a table. From here, take it slow — the whole point of this day is to enjoy the old center without trying to cover too much.
After lunch, head up to Montjuïc Castle for the most scenic, low-effort finish to the day. The easiest way is taxi or rideshare from central Barcelona; it’s usually about 15–20 minutes depending on traffic, and far more comfortable than trying to string together multiple buses. The castle itself usually has an entry fee around €12–15, and the views over the port, city, and sea are the real reward. Go in the late afternoon so the heat is softer and the light is better; plan on about 90 minutes there, then enjoy the descent back toward the city as the sky starts to turn golden. If you’re still energetic, it’s a nice place to linger for sunset before returning to your hotel for a quiet dinner and an early night.
Start the day at L’illa Diagonal in Les Corts, which is one of the easiest places in Barcelona to do a serious shopping morning without the chaos of the city center. It’s polished, spacious, and fully air-conditioned — exactly what you want on a relaxed luxury-shopping day. Expect to spend around 2 hours here, browsing brands like Massimo Dutti, BIMBA Y LOLA, Mango, Sandro, Maje, and a good mix of homeware, beauty, and accessories. Open from roughly 10:00 AM, and if you arrive right at opening you’ll beat the rush and have the best fitting-room experience. A taxi from central Eixample usually takes 10–15 minutes and is the most convenient option for a group of six.
Next head to El Corte Inglés Diagonal, just a short ride away, for the “everything in one place” part of the shopping day. This is the better stop if you want premium Spanish labels, international brands, fragrance counters, watches, and easy tax-free shopping in one go. Plan about 1.5 hours here, and don’t rush the personal shopping desks if you want help comparing sizes or arranging VAT refund paperwork. By early afternoon, shift into lunch at Bodega Joan in Eixample, which feels very Barcelona in the best way: lively but not fussy, with excellent grilled seafood, tortilla, Iberian ham, and proper wine. Budget around €25–45 per person depending on drinks and shared plates. It’s a good reset before the pace softens.
After lunch, walk it off with Casa Amatller in the Eixample. It’s a lighter stop than a full museum day, and that’s exactly why it works well here. The façade alone is worth the detour, and inside you get a beautiful slice of Modernisme without the commitment of a long queue or a packed itinerary. Give it about 45 minutes, and if you like coffee or sweets, the café-style stop inside is a nice bonus. From there, take a taxi down to Barceloneta Beach promenade for a complete change of pace. The ride is usually 10–15 minutes, and the contrast is what makes the afternoon feel special: from polished shopping streets to sea air, bikes, boardwalk energy, and the kind of light Barcelona does so well. This is a great time for a slow walk, photos, and a drink stop if you feel like it.
Finish at Makamaka Beach Burger Café on the Barceloneta side for a casual sunset dinner with a buzzy beach-town feel. It’s not a formal night out, but that’s the charm — relaxed, social, and ideal for a couple-heavy trip where you want easy conversation and sea views rather than a dressy meal. Go around 7:30–8:30 PM so you catch the golden hour and don’t have to fight for a table. Expect around €20–35 per person, depending on burgers, sides, and drinks. If you want to stretch the evening a little after dinner, the promenade is lovely after dark and easy to continue on foot before heading back to the hotel.
Since today is all about football, start in Les Corts with the Camp Nou / FC Barcelona Museum area before the crowds fully build. Even if the stadium itself is partly under works at times, the area still has that proper Barça energy, and the museum/exhibition spaces are usually the easiest way to get your football fix up close. Aim to be there around 10:00 AM so you can move at a relaxed pace, grab photos, and avoid the midday rush. Tickets for museum/exhibit access are generally in the €28–40 range depending on what’s open and included; check the official FC Barcelona site the day before, because match-day access and timings can shift. If you’re coming from central Barcelona, a Taxi/Cabify is the least fuss; otherwise take the L3 metro to Maria Cristina or Les Corts and walk 10–15 minutes.
For the FC Barcelona match at Spotify Camp Nou or the day’s match venue if scheduled, plan to arrive 60–90 minutes early. That gives you time for security, merch browsing, and a proper soak-in of the atmosphere before kickoff. Expect the full match experience to take around 3–4 hours including entry and the post-game exit flow, and don’t try to over-engineer dinner around it—stadium-day logistics can run late, especially if you stay for the full whistle and crowd dispersal. A couple of easy tips from the ground: carry only the essentials in a small bag, keep your digital tickets downloaded offline, and pre-decide your meetup point since mobile networks can get patchy when everyone leaves at once.
After the match, keep things close and easy with a casual Poble Sec tapas crawl. This neighborhood works brilliantly after football because it’s lively without feeling touristy, and you can settle into a few good bars rather than committing to one big sit-down dinner. Head to Carrer de Blai for pintxos and small plates, or drift toward more classic tapas bars nearby if you want a slower pace with drinks and conversation. Budget roughly €20–35 pp for a relaxed evening depending on wine/cava and how much you order. If you’re still in celebration mode and want something with a bit more old-school sparkle, move on to El Xampanyet in El Born for cava and anchovies, jamón, bombas, and that wonderfully loud, local atmosphere; it’s usually best on a reservations-and-patience basis, with about €25–40 pp.
If the group wants a more cultured finish instead of another round, check whether there’s a concert at Palau de la Música Catalana on your date. It’s one of Barcelona’s most beautiful night venues, and a performance there is a great contrast to the stadium energy earlier in the day. The easiest way back to your hotel after either Poble Sec, El Born, or Palau de la Música Catalana is by taxi/Cabify—usually 15–25 minutes depending on where you’re staying and traffic after the match.
Take the Barcelona → Palma de Mallorca flight on an early departure so you’re not wasting the island day; with airport check-in, security, and the short hop itself, you’ll usually be at your hotel in Palma by late morning or just around noon if you move efficiently. Once you land, a taxi into the center is the easiest call for 3 couples with luggage — expect roughly 15–20 minutes to Old Town or the waterfront, and about €20–30 depending on time of day and bags. Keep this first part light: Mallorca works best when you ease into it instead of trying to “do” the island too fast.
Start at Palma Cathedral (La Seu), which is the one sight in the city that instantly gives you the island feeling — sea light, stone walls, and that huge open waterfront space. If you want the best atmosphere, aim for late morning when the light hits the façade nicely; entry is usually around €9 for adults, and it’s worth booking ahead if you want to avoid queueing. From there it’s a very easy walk to Palau de l’Almudaina, right beside the cathedral, so you can keep the whole morning in the same historic pocket without any transport stress. The palace visit is fairly quick, around 45 minutes, and it pairs nicely with the cathedral because you’re already in the right frame of mind for Palma’s old-world charm.
Head into MERCAT DE L’OLIVAR for lunch — this is the kind of place locals actually use, so it feels lively without being touristy-chaotic. You can graze across seafood counters, jamón, tapas, and sit-down bars; budget about €20–35 per person if you keep it relaxed with a few plates and drinks. After lunch, drift up Passeig des Born, Palma’s prettiest easy strolling street, lined with boutiques, cafés, and shady seating where you can just people-watch and decompress after the flight. It’s a good place to split up for a while too: some of you can browse, some can pause for coffee, and nobody feels like they’re being dragged through a schedule.
For sunset-to-night, finish with Abaco in Palma Old Town — it’s dramatic, a little over-the-top in the best way, and perfect for a first-night cocktail with friends. Expect €20–35 per person depending on what you order, and it’s smarter to arrive earlier in the evening before it gets busy. If you’re still in the mood after drinks, stay nearby for a slow wander through the narrow streets around Plaça de la Reina or simply call it a night early — Mallorca rewards an unhurried start, and tomorrow is better if you don’t overpack this one.
Take a short taxi from central Palma to Cala Major — it’s usually a 10–15 minute ride depending on where you’re staying, and that’s exactly why this works so well for a relaxed island day. There’s no need to overthink transport here; a regular cab or Uber/Cabify is fine, and you’ll want to arrive by around 9:30 AM to claim a good spot before the beach settles into its midday rhythm. Cala Major is not the most dramatic beach on the island, but it’s easy, close, and perfect for a slow start: soft sand, calm water on a good day, and a low-key local crowd rather than a full-on scene. Rent two sunbeds if you want comfort — usually around €15–25 for a pair depending on the section — and just keep the morning simple with swims, coffee, and zero agenda.
Once you’ve had enough sun, walk or hop a very short taxi ride to Fundació Miró Mallorca, which sits right above the bay in Cala Major. It’s a lovely contrast to the beach because it feels airy and artistic without being heavy or time-consuming — ideal for your group. Expect to spend about an hour here; the setting itself is half the experience, with views and a calm garden atmosphere that make it easy to digest before lunch. Tickets are usually around €10–15, and it’s smart to check the opening schedule the day before, since museum hours can vary by season and some sections may close for rotating exhibitions.
For lunch, stay by the water and book a table at a beach club or sea-view restaurant in Illetas or Cala Major — this is the day to do a long, lazy meal rather than hunt around town. Good options in that stretch often run in the €30–60 per person range depending on how much wine and seafood you order, so lean into it: grilled fish, paella to share, salads, and a chilled bottle if the group is in the mood. After lunch, head to Illetas Beach, which is the prettier swim-and-lounge stop if you want a more polished stretch of sand and clearer water. It’s only a short taxi away, but the vibe changes noticeably — a little more upscale, a little more “holiday mode,” and very easy to spend 2–3 hours doing absolutely nothing in the best possible way.
Wrap the day with a slow sunset stroll along the Marítimo promenade toward Portixol waterfront, which is one of those Palma evenings that feels effortless and local at the same time. The easiest way is a taxi back toward the waterfront and then just walk; by early evening the light over the bay is beautiful, and this is when Palma really softens. If you want to extend the night, keep an eye out for a casual drink stop on the promenade, but don’t over-plan it — after a beach day, the best version of this evening is just a relaxed walk, a couple of photo stops, and a quiet dinner nearby.
For this one, don’t try to self-drive the Serra de Tramuntana unless you’re genuinely comfortable on tight mountain roads — the whole point of the day is to keep it slow and scenic. The easiest way is a private driver or a small organized transfer from Palma around 8:30 AM, so you reach Valldemossa while the village is still calm and photogenic. Expect about 35–45 minutes each way from central Palma, a little longer if you’re starting from the western side of the city. In Valldemossa, just wander — the stone lanes, flowered balconies, and quiet terraces are the reason people come here. Give yourselves about 2 hours, with time for a coffee stop and a few unhurried photo breaks; most of the village is compact, so there’s no need to rush between sights.
From there, continue about 20 minutes up the mountain road to Deià, which has a more polished, artistic feel and some of the best couple-shot backdrops on the island. It’s smaller and more intimate than Valldemossa, so 1.5 hours is plenty if you keep it relaxed. This is the place to stroll, browse a little, and take in the hillside views without planning much else — the magic is in the atmosphere, not checking boxes. If you want a quick coffee or a glass of cava, do it here and keep the pace slow; this stretch of the day works best when it feels like a long, easy exhale.
Next, head to the Sa Foradada viewpoint near Deià. This is one of those classic Mallorca stops that looks almost exaggerated in photos, but the real thing is even better when you reach it in person. Depending on the exact drop-off point and how far you walk, budget 30–45 minutes here just to soak it in and take pictures. If you’re lucky with the light, the sea gets that deep blue-green color that makes this whole coastline feel cinematic. After that, continue down toward Sóller, which usually takes around 25–35 minutes from the viewpoint area by car. The road is winding, but with a driver it’s comfortable and you can just enjoy the descent instead of thinking about navigation.
In Sóller, slow the whole day down properly with a long lunch at a café or restaurant in Plaça Constitució, the town’s main square. This is the easiest and nicest place to sit for a proper meal — expect €25–45 per person depending on whether you go light or order seafood, pa amb oli, or a bottle of wine for the table. After lunch, linger a bit in the square and then wander the surrounding streets before heading to Port de Sóller waterfront for the final part of the day. The drive from town to the port is only about 10–15 minutes, and the harbor walk is perfect for ending on a softer note: a stroll along the promenade, a drink by the water, and an easy sunset view if the timing works. If you’re returning to Palma afterward, leave around 7:30–8:00 PM so you’re back without feeling rushed; the drive is usually 35–45 minutes via the main route, and after a mountain day it’s better to travel back while everyone’s still relaxed.
Take the Palma de Mallorca → Seville flight on the first sensible morning departure you can get, ideally leaving Mallorca before noon so you’re not losing the day to transit. Door to door, you’ll usually be looking at about 2.5–4 hours once you factor in airport arrival, security, the short hop, baggage, and the taxi into town. The easiest arrival plan is a taxi from Seville Airport straight into Santa Cruz, which is the most pleasant base for a soft landing: narrow streets, handsome old buildings, and everything you’ll want this evening within a walk. Expect roughly €25–35 for the taxi, and if you can, check in or at least drop bags first so the afternoon feels effortless.
Keep the first stop light with Hotel check-in in Santa Cruz, then head out once you’ve freshened up for Real Alcázar of Seville. Go with pre-booked tickets if you can; this is one of the city’s most visited sights, and late afternoon is a sweet spot because the heat softens and the gardens feel calmer. Budget around €15–20 per person depending on ticket type, and give yourself about two hours without rushing — the palace rooms and courtyards are beautiful, but the real magic is in wandering slowly through the shaded gardens. From there, it’s an easy stroll to Catedral de Sevilla and La Giralda; if you’re climbing the tower, allow a little extra time for queues and the steps. The views at this hour are excellent, and the whole area around Santa Cruz feels especially atmospheric as the light drops.
For dinner, book La Azotea in advance — it’s a very good first-night choice because it feels polished without being stiff, and the food is exactly what you want after a travel day: thoughtful, modern, and not too heavy. Expect roughly €30–50 per person depending on wine and sharing plates. After dinner, do a slow Avenida de la Constitución evening stroll; it’s one of the best simple pleasures in Seville, with the cathedral lit up, locals out for a walk, and just enough buzz to make you feel you’ve really arrived. Keep it unhurried and let the city do the work tonight.
From Palma de Mallorca to Seville, the smoothest move is a morning flight that gets you into Seville Airport (SVQ) by late morning or just after lunch. Keep it simple: pre-book a taxi or rideshare from the airport into the center, because Seville is much better enjoyed on foot than by trying to juggle luggage in the heat. Once you’re checked in, head straight to Plaza de España in Parque de María Luisa and go early enough to catch the softer light before it gets crowded. This is one of those places that looks theatrical in photos but still feels impressive in person — the tile bridges, curved colonnades, and canal are worth lingering over. Budget about 1 hour here, and if it’s warm, carry water and wear comfy shoes because the whole area invites wandering.
Stay within Parque de María Luisa for a relaxed walk through the shaded paths, fountains, and palm-lined corners. It’s the right kind of reset after island travel — no rush, just a slow drift through one of Seville’s prettiest green spaces. Then continue into the historic center for Archivo General de Indias, which is a neat, compact stop if you want a bit of culture without committing half a day to museums. It sits right near the cathedral zone, and 45 minutes is plenty unless you’re deep into colonial history. For lunch, Bodega Santa Cruz Las Columnas in Santa Cruz is exactly the kind of lively, slightly chaotic tapas stop that suits a trip like this: order a few plates, stand at the bar if seating is tight, and expect around €20–35 per person depending on how much you drink. It gets busy fast from about 1:30 PM, so arriving a touch earlier makes life easier.
After lunch, keep things slow with Torre del Oro on the riverfront. It’s not a huge time investment — 30 to 45 minutes is enough — but it gives you that classic Seville riverside feel before the evening begins. The walk along the Guadalquivir is the nicest part, especially if you want a break from the denser old-town lanes. Later, head to Tablao El Arenal in El Arenal for your flamenco night; book ahead, especially for a good dinner-show package, since the better seats go first. Expect roughly 2 hours total, with packages generally in the €35–75 range per person depending on whether you include drinks or dinner. If you want a pre-show stroll, the streets around Arenal and the river are easy and atmospheric, but don’t overdo it — this is a good day to let Seville do the work for you.
After your flight from Seville into Barcelona El Prat, head straight to La Roca Village so you can make the most of the day without rushing. It’s about a 35–45 minute drive from the airport depending on traffic, and the easiest option is a pre-booked transfer or taxi so you don’t waste time figuring things out on arrival. The outlet opens late morning and is best enjoyed early, when it’s quieter and you can browse properly before the bigger lunch crowds roll in. This is the day to keep it relaxed: think Prada, Gucci, BOSS, Michael Kors, Sandro, Maje, Lacoste, and the usual designer staples at better prices than central Barcelona. Plan on a good 5–6 hours here, with time to walk the open-air lanes, compare sizes, and let everyone shop at their own pace.
Stay on-site for lunch so the day doesn’t get fragmented. The cafés and restaurants at La Roca Village are easy, comfortable, and exactly what you want in the middle of a shopping day — expect around €20–40 per person depending on whether you keep it light or go for a proper sit-down meal. A leisurely lunch here works well because you can recharge without losing momentum, then do a final sweep for shoes, bags, or second-pair discounts before heading back to the city.
Once you’re back in Barcelona, keep the evening soft and pretty rather than packed. Start with Santa Maria del Mar in El Born — one of the city’s most elegant Gothic churches, and especially lovely later in the day when the light softens and the square outside feels calm after the shopping energy. From there, it’s an easy walk into El Born for dinner; this is the neighborhood I’d pick for a celebratory, low-key meal because it has atmosphere without feeling overdone. Think tapas and wine around Carrer de Rec or Passeig del Born — places like Bormuth, Tapeo del Born, or Cal Pep are classic picks if you want to book ahead, though many smaller wine bars and tapas spots around the area are just as good if you prefer to wander and choose on the night. Finish with a short stroll along Passeig del Born for a drink or two; it’s one of the nicest parts of the city for an easy, social finish after a full day, and it keeps the evening lively without turning into a late-night mission.
By the time you’re back in Barcelona from La Roca del Vallès, keep the afternoon city plan loose and easy: drop bags at your hotel or in the cloakroom, then head into El Raval for MACBA. The museum is best enjoyed without rushing, especially for a group of friends who want something a little more modern and less “checklist Spain.” Expect roughly €12–14 entry, and it’s usually open from late morning until evening, with a quieter window before midday. After the museum, you can linger around Plaça dels Àngels and the surrounding side streets for that gritty-artsy Barcelona feel that’s very different from the polished shopping districts you’ve already covered.
From El Raval, make your way to Poblenou for Palo Alto Market if your date lines up with the event; it’s one of the better “fun but not too chaotic” outings in the city, with design stalls, street food, cocktails, and often live DJs or small performances. If there isn’t a market running, Poblenou still works beautifully for a slow neighborhood afternoon. Walk along Rambla del Poblenou for a relaxed café stop and a proper local lunch or aperitif — this stretch is one of the easiest in Barcelona for just sitting outside and people-watching. A short taxi or metro hop keeps it simple, and you’ll avoid the more touristy pressure of the center.
Finish the day at Els Encants Vells near Glòries, which is a fun place to browse if you still want a little retail therapy without making it another full shopping day. It’s a mix of design pieces, vintage finds, odd little objects, and the occasional genuine bargain — far better for souvenirs than the usual fridge-magnet run. Then head into Eixample or stay around Poblenou for dinner at a strong contemporary Catalan spot; book ahead if you want something in the Disfrutar orbit or another well-reviewed tasting-menu restaurant, because good tables in Barcelona disappear fast, especially on a Thursday evening. If you want to end on a high, check listings for Sala Apolo or Razzmatazz for a concert, live band, or DJ set — both are excellent final-night choices for your age group, and taxis between dinner and the venue are straightforward.
Start with a slow breakfast around Carrer de Casp in Eixample — this is a good last-morning neighborhood because it’s central, orderly, and easy to reach without stress. Pick a café such as Faborit Casa Amatller nearby or a simple neighborhood bakery-café for coffee, croissants, and tostadas, and give yourselves about an hour to just sit and reset after the trip. Expect roughly €10–20 per person, and if you want a final short wander, the blocks around Passeig de Sant Joan are pleasant for a few quiet steps before luggage time.
Head over to Mercat de Sant Antoni in Sant Antoni for one last local browse. It’s a very practical final stop because it feels authentically Barcelona without being overwhelming, and you can still pick up edible souvenirs like jamón, olive oil, turrón, cava, or packaged sweets if you’ve got room in the suitcase. Most stalls open from around 8:00 AM to 8:30 PM, but the morning is the nicest time to go; budget around €15–40 depending on what you buy. If you want a little coffee or a snack nearby after the market, the surrounding streets have plenty of easy options, so there’s no need to over-plan this part.
If time allows, make a final stop at Casa Milà (La Pedrera) in Eixample for that last iconic Gaudí photo — even the exterior alone is worth it if you’re keeping things light. If the rooftop is open and you haven’t had a rooftop moment yet, it’s a beautiful farewell view, though tickets usually run about €29–35 and you should only do it if your departure timing is comfortable. After that, leave Barcelona city center for Barcelona El Prat Airport about 3.5 hours before your international flight, especially since you’re connecting back to Chennai; a taxi or pre-booked transfer from central Eixample is the simplest route and usually takes 25–35 minutes, though I’d add buffer for Friday traffic and airport check-in.
