This is Barcelona
Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia and Spain’s second city, a Mediterranean port between the mountains and the sea. Its medieval Gothic Quarter, the buildings of Antoni Gaudí and the other Modernista architects, and La Rambla running down to the harbour have made it one of the most visited cities in Europe.
- Gaudí’s Sagrada Família, Park Güell, Casa Batlló and La Pedrera
- La Rambla, the Boqueria market and the lanes of the Gothic Quarter
- FC Barcelona and the 1992 Olympic Games
- Tapas, pa amb tomàquet and the human towers of the castellers
