Barcelona
One of the Western Mediterranean's most colourful metropolises.
Spain's cosmopolitan second city overflows with interest, its mood infused with a vibrant Catalan spirit and heritage. You'll catch the pulse of Barcelona when you stroll the mosaic-paved Ramblas, the city's social hub, with open-air cafes, street entertainers and flower displays, the surrealistic architecture of Antonio Gaudi, and some outstanding museums and parks.
