BARCELONA ______________
Barcelona is located in the Northeast of Spain and is the capital of Cataluña. With a population of 1.5 million (3 million including the Greater Barcelona area) it is one of Spains most important and most beautiful cities.
Visit Gaudi's fantastic Guell Park which has been declared an artistic monument and world heritage site by UNESCO. Visit The Picasso Museum, which exhibits works from the "blue" and "pink" periods of this world famous painter.
Stroll the narrow winding streets of the Barrio Gótico - a medieval Gothic quarter full of interesting tapas bars and cafés. Check out Picassos old hangout, Los Cuatro Gatos, which has been renovated, but it hasn't lost its bohemian charm.
The best place to watch people go by, to stroll or simply relax, is Les Rambles, a pedestrian street with dozens of cozy Barcelona restaurants and outdoor cafés.
Four kilometres of beaches to the east and a National Park to the west make its location ideal, and Barcelona really has something to offer for everyone.
