Capital of proud Catalonia, Barcelona
is a cosmopolitan city like no other. Old and new combine in Barcelona, where
narrow Gothic Quarter alleyways contrast with grand boulevards. Everywhere, the
city celebrates the work of Gaudi, its surreal moderniste hometown architect,
whose work will be a highlight of your visit here. The city also boasts an
incredible collection of Picasso's work, particularly in the Picasso museum that
contains more of the artist's early work than any other single museum in the
world, including the one in Paris. No visit to Barcelona would be complete
without a stroll down Las Ramblas, Barcelona's tree-lined boulevard. Sit and
have a coffee, or stroll to the side streets and select a centuries-old cafe for
a lunch. Enjoy delectable tapas in the many restaurants and bars. See what the
Olympic fervor was all about. |
