Barcelona
Travel Information
Vivid and cosmopolitan, Barcelona has always looked to France for
inspiration. The lively treelined Ramblas boulevard with its pavement
cafes, bars, street performers and flower stalls is packed day and
night.
The historic Gothic Quarter and its wealth of medieval architecture
contrasts with the unusual art nauveau architecture of Gaudi, especially
the unfinished 'Sagrada Familia' Cathedral and the museums devoted to
Miro and Picasso.
Barcelona
Spain
The fashion is chic, the cava brut sparkling, the seafood unsurpassed. A
wonderful city and seaport with an excellent beach and everything else
needed for an active and memorable holiday.
Barcelona hosted the 1992 Olympics making the Olympic Stadium well worth
a trip, to relive some of those sporting moments, as is Barcelona FC's
Nou Camp stadium and museum.
