The City of Gaudi
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is a European city blessed with a myriad of features, making it an ideal metropolis to live in for locals, and a perfect city destination for visitors. Where should we start? For architecture buffs, Gaudi has marked the city with the most peculiar yet beautiful shapes, from buildings and parks to the exceptional Sagrada Famila. For some ancient traces look no further than the Barrio Gotico – one of the greatest concentrations of Gothic architecture in Europe. To satisfy your palate, it is needless to mention Barcelona’s countless tapas bars, one better than the other, accompanied by cutting-edge restaurants lead by avant-garde chefs. Nightlife is a must, from mural-covered bars in the medieval quarter to modern hip clubs to dance the night away. And let’s not forget the fact that this vibrant city is conveniently located on the Mediterranean cost, adding sun, sand and sea to the equation.
Remark
Just a short drive away are sandy beaches, Sitges and the Montserrat mountain range - with some more time on your hands, venture outside of Barcelona.
