Barcelona doesn’t need an introduction anymore: in the last decade it has become one of the most attractive and visited cities in the world.
If you travel to Spain you must include Barcelona in your itinerary. If you plan to visit Europe you should definitely include Barcelona among your most wanted destinations.
However, you should note that this glittering jewel in the Mediterranean, strategically secluded between warm crystal-clear waters on the shore and impressive mountains on its northern edge, is a buoyant and atmospheric place.
It has long had the reputation of being the avant-garde capital of Spain – its art museums are world-class, its football team amazingly successful, while its designer restaurants, bars, galleries and shops lead from the front.
