Gaudi Architecture in Parc Guell
 
 

Barcelona

Catalonia's celebrated capital, Barcelona, stands in a privileged position on the north-east coast of Spain, on the shores of the Mediterranean. Spain's second largest city, both in terms of size and population, Barcelona has undergone an almost unprecedented transformation in the years following the collapse of General Franco's rule and is now considered one of Europe's most stylish and cultured cities. Undoubtedly as cosmopolitan as any other city, Barcelona is a fascinating combination of ancient and modern styles due to its colourful and occasionally unsettled history. The city's Gothic Quarter, with its Romanesque and renaissance architecture sits happily alongside Modernist structures, created by the likes of Gaudi and his contemporaries. With dramatic mountains to the north and clear blue seas to the south, Barcelona is a city unlike any other and possesses a unique pull on its visitors.
