Barcelona

Barcelona is the vibrant and historic cultural ‘capital’ of Spain with a unique image and amazing architectural heritage of imposing gothic monuments nestling alongside Gaudí’s fantastic modernist creations. It is also full of contrasts – this modern and enterprising city preserves its historic Gothic centre almost intact and then there is the curious contrast between the maze of narrow streets and the grid-like layout of the Eixample, the urban planning “Enlargement” project of the end of the 19th century.
This bustling and lively city has an excellent range of art museums, fine architecture, historic monuments and amusement parks. Scattered around the city are unique works by Gaudí including Parc Güell and the still unfinished Sagrada Familia Cathedral – Barcelona’s most emblematic symbol. Barcelona is a ‘must’ for any art tour. This energetic city with a unique and exciting atmosphere provides visitors with a truly unforgettable experience.
