About Barcelona:

Spain’s second largest city and the capital of Catalonia sits between the Collserola hills and the pretty beaches of the Mediterranean coast. In one of Europe’s best preserved Gothic Quarters, you'll see majestic cathedrals and plazas. Gaudi’s one-off architecture can be seen in L'Eixample and the works of Dali and Picasso are on display in the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalanya and the Museu Picasso. Famous for its party atmosphere, Barcelona’s bars only get busy after midnight. Take a stroll down the tree lined La Rambla or soak up the sun on some of the world’s best urban beaches to recuperate.
