Barcelona
Barcelona, the progressive capital of Catalonia, is an extremely
attractive city to the tourists. Its old city has several gothic
buildings, many of them hidden by winding streets or splendidly
placed in crowded squares, located to the east of
Les
Rambles, the splendid avenue that goes to the sea with a lot
of social life all day (and all hours) of the year.
Barcelona also is the proud capital of the Modernism, with some
emblematic buildings as La Pedrera
o Casa Batlló, the Park
Güell or the Sagrada
Familia, all of them artworks of the brilliant Antonio Gaudí,
prodigal son of the city and universal catalan.
But Barcelona is, above all, a city where anyone can be amused
just taking a walk by its streets, stopping in its bars and shops,
absorbing the atmosphere. It has an exciting and pretty port with
a lot of playful and cultural supply, a good number of great museums
and a sophistication and a dynamic culture bigger than other cities
of the country.
The fact to become in 1992 an Olympic city impelled a new wave
of civic pride, shaped in the modernization of its streets and
districts, in its renewed and brilliant monuments and the recovery
of the marine front (including beaches).
