BARCELONA
Barcelona, more than just a single city, is really a collection of multi-faceted and diverse cities. It's a diverse city located at the North eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula and the Mediterranean. It is also the second largest city in Spain in terms of size and population.Barcelona embraces two thousand years of history and a visitor unfamiliar with its history might be surprised that such a modern and enterprising city preserves its historic Gothic centre almost intact. However, a fusion of the traditional and modern civilization is evident in this multi-faceted city. Diverse cultures flourish in this city with a maze of narrow streets attracts tourists for its striking contrast against the grid-like layout of Eixample, the urban planning project in the 19th century.
Some must-see destinations in Barcelona include the La Rambla, which is comprised of five separate streets joined from one end to another. This bustling area is tree-lined and suitable for strolling during the afternoons. Mimes and peddlers line the boulevard.
Interconnecting walkways, cafes, bars and very affordable accommodation is Bari-Gotic's pride. The Museo Picasso, Barcelona's most visited museum, is also a must-visit because it is housed in three magnificent stone mansions on the Carrer de Montcada. Lastly, every Barcelona visitor should view La Sagrada Familia, which is truly a sight to behold. The unfinished cathedral, the life's work of Antoni Gaudi, is an imposing figure on the Barcelona skyline. Numerous sculptures deck the stone-made sanctuary.
