Barcelona is an extremely cosmopolitan city with a population of about 1,5 million people. The Spanish centre of fashion, architecture, food, music and style, it is located by the Mediterranean Sea and it is the heart of the autonomous region of Cataluña, one of the richest and more modern areas of Spain.
Barcelona combines old and modern with a marvellous result. The city is full of places of medieval and modern interest such as: "El Barrio Gótico", "Las Ramblas", "La Plaza de Catalunya", "The Olympic port", "Picasso Museum," the "Miró Foundation" and the various architectural works of Antonio Gaudí such as "El Parque Güell", "La Sagrada Familia" and "La Pedrera".
Visitors to this unforgettable city will also be able to experience its white beaches, which contribute to Barcelona's being one of the most visited cities in Spain.
Barcelona, more than just a single city, is really a collection of multi-faceted and diverse cities. A visitor unfamiliar might be surprised that such a modern and enterprising city preserves its historic Gothic centre almost intact, or by the curious contrast between the maze of narrow streets and the grid-like layout of the Eixample, the urban planning "Enlargement" project of the end of the 19th century.
The capital of Catalonia is unequivocally a Mediterranean city, not only because of its geographic location but also and above all because of its history, tradition and cultural influences.
The city offers a lively street life, an extensive nightlife and a very international audience. You will find endless number of dance clubs, pubs, bars, private parties, festivals, restaurants, live music bands and many more.
Enjoy life to the fullest.
