For many years, the city Textile Museum was located in a medieval mansion in front of the Picasso Museum. However, a few weeks ago it closed and it has finally reopened in a new home at the Palau de Pedralbes (686, Diagonal Avenue. Metro L3 Palau Reial), now as part of a larger project, the DHUB (Disseny Hub Barcelona).
It is a great excuse to visit this often forgotten part of the city.
I'd suggest you start in the morning visiting the Pedralbes Monastery, then explore the streets of the Pedralbes area where the wealthiest families live, have a cofee at some cafe of the local Sarrià neighbourhood.

Then keep walking towards the Güell Pavilions to take some pics at the amazing Dragon Gate by Gaudi. You'll be near Diagonal Avenue, where there are plenty of busy lunch menu restaurants packed of bussiness people and locals.
It is worth to walk a bit around the gardens of the Royal Palace (can you find there a pergola and a little dragon fountain by Gaudí?), before you get to the Textile Museum.
If you have some more energy, after the visit you can still get to the Barcelona Football Club Stadium, one of the largest in the world, or either go shopping as some of my favorite local shopping malls are in the are, one next to the other: Corte Ingles, Boulevard Rosa and l'Illa.
Have a great day!
