Barcelona Beckons - Are You Ready?
Barcelona is a startling city in many ways; an old city with a reinvigorated feel. A popular city with a small-town warmth, a major commercial centre with outstanding city beaches.
The contradictions that are Barcelona make it one of the most exciting city breaks you'll ever take. Cheap weekend breaks are all the rage now and Barcelona offers something close to perfection; huge sightseeing days, big nights on the tiles and a refreshing recovery day at the beach.
Barcelona's fame reaches far and wide - in no small part due to Gaudi. His architectural influences are seen all over the city and his most famous building is a world-class piece. The Sagrada Família is the international symbol of Barcelona and is simply stunning. It takes architecture to new highs and will be the building people come to Barcelona for the next 1,000 years.
The National Museum of Art of Catalonia is a wonderful building housing an eclectic collection of Romanesque art, and a wander through the old city is just a joy.
And your recovery day? Beach in Barcelona has the good fortune to be named as the best urban beach in the world.
