The dynamic capital of the Catalonia region, cosmopolitan and full of life and colour. A combination of fascinating sights and monuments, the harbour and a beautiful sandy beach on which to relax and soak up the sun. A stroll down the famous Las Ramblas from Plaza Catalunya to the Monument of Christopher Columbus on the harbour front, soon conveys the atmosphere of this energetic city. Watch the world walk by on the smart Paseo de Gracia, the elegant shopping boulevard of Barcelona, where you find famous Gaudi buildings. Old Barcelona is visible in the atmospheric Gothic Quarter with its narrow cobbled streets, old houses and churches.
