Why come to Barcelona?<\/p>\n

Lots of reasons. It\u2019s the capital of Catalonia and Spain\u2019s second largest city after Madrid, and also its most international and cosmopolitan. Legend has it that it was founded by Hamilcar Barca, the grandfather of Hannibal (of crossing the Alps with elephants fame), but whether this is true or not it certainly has both a long history and a modern European feel.<\/p>\n

\"laAnd there\u2019s plenty to see and do. From the unofficial heart of the city, the grand Plaza Catalunya, you can stroll down the bustling length of the famous Las Ramblas and pay a visit to La Boqueria, the main provisions market founded in the 13th century. Go into the Barrio Gothic, the old quarter of the city, which still has many medieval buildings, including the Cathedral, while the Pla\u00e7a Reial (Royal Plaza), a grand 19th century square, has lots of restaurants and a busy nightlife. Seafront attractions include the famous aquarium with its underwater walkways, and for those with a head for heights there\u2019s the cable car to the top of the brooding bulk of Montjuic mountain.<\/p>\n

Going north from Plaza Catalunya you go into the Eixample district, with its broad avenues and open spaces, the home of modernist Barcelona, which is exemplified by the work of Antoni Gaudi. Must-sees here include the unique church of Sagrada Familia, one of the city\u2019s most iconic sights, and the Casa Batll\u00f3 in the Passeig de Gracia. Don\u2019t be put off by the price or the queues \u2013 it\u2019s worth it. Take the opportunity to do a little shopping, too; this is one of Europe\u2019s most famous and stylish shopping streets.<\/p>\n

Barcelona has a wide selection of bars and restaurants, and the climate\u2019s great, too. Hot and sunny in summer, but not too hot to be out walking, and still quite mild in winter. Time to treat yourself to a memorable holiday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
