Barcelona SPAIN
Barcelona, the colorful capital of Catalonia, is where sport, history and culture course through the veins of the locals. The city where every building appears to be like artwork, every open space is a canvas and where patriotism and pride are painted in the red and yellow stripes that adorn the regional flag. This is Barcelona – an avant-garde city, always on the move, and you’re invited to tag along. Artists have thrived in the city for centuries, and one of the most influential people to have left a mark on its appearance is undoubtedly
local boy, Antoni Gaudi. So much so in fact that his works have collectively been accepted as a UNESCO Heritage Site. Next to the restaurants and tapas bars of La Rambla, you’ll find the first of Gaudi’s masterpieces. The Palau Güell rises majestically from a rather non-descript street, and behind the cast-iron gates, you can discover its truly awe-inspiring palatial splendor. Heading further north you’ll come to two of Gaudi’s most famous buildings. First the Casa Batlló, with its surreal façade of egg-shaped windows and wave-like features, and next, the truly magnificent, albeit still
unfinished, Sagrada Familia. With its steep spires, gargoyles and sheer size, this Catalan jewel is guaranteed to take your breath away. Complete the Gaudi-tour by making your way to the Park Güell. With panoramic views of the city, colorful, mosaic-like architecture, and greenery, it’s a delightful place of rest away from the urban bustle. Regardless of which direction you wander, you are never far from something truly stunning. The city is full of castles, museums, quirky restaurants, trendy bars, theatres, and churches - so get out there and explore!

Thing to see in and around Barcelona
LA RAMBLA The main street in Barcelona, La Rambla runs from the Columbus Monument by the sea, through the Gothic Quarter and into the very heart of the old part of town. Lined by trees and full of colorful cafés and bars, the street continues to offer new sights the further you venture down the road. See the mosaic by the surrealist painter Joan Miro, drink from the Font de Canaletes fountain, hang out in the La Boqueria market, where you can find lots of little ornaments and souvenirs, and remember to visit the Güell Palace. The famous Spanish poet, Lorca, once said that this street is the only one “in the world that I wish would never end”, and who are we to disagree?
SAGRADA FAMILIA The absolute crown in the jewel of Barcelona, Antoni Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia, towers above the rest of the city with its elaborate and ornate spires. The imposing cathedral has been under construction for almost 150 years, with several stops along the way. Although it is not expected to be completed until 2026, it is still one of the most iconic and awe-inspiring buildings in the city – perhaps even in Spain.
PARK GÜELL Another of Gaudi’s fantastic creations, this green park is a wonderful place to escape to, after a busy day of sightseeing. Take in the many artistic gems and serene tree-lined paths here, before climbing to the viewing platform, where you can gaze across the vibrant city
NOU CAMP No matter where you go in Barcelona, you’ll never be far from the main passion of Catalonia: soccer. The beautiful game is discussed and celebrated by locals at every opportunity and throughout the city you’ll be reminded of their pride and joy: FC Barcelona. For decades, fans have been entertained by the team’s exuberant style of play at their home ground, the gigantic Camp Nou, which, is well worth a visit.
