Barcelona

Barcelona dazzles with Gaudí's surreal architecture, golden Mediterranean beaches, and the vibrant Catalan culture that sets it apart from the rest of Spain. La Sagrada Família, Park Güell, and Casa Batlló showcase architectural genius that seems to defy the laws of design.

The Gothic Quarter's medieval lanes contrast with the modern waterfront, while Las Ramblas bustles day and night. Barcelona's culinary scene ranges from legendary La Boqueria market to Michelin-starred restaurants, all enjoyed on the Spanish schedule of late dinners and later nights.
