Spain from an English perspective

Barcelona in Spain offers something for everyone: culture, art, shopping, numerous attractions, leisure activities, nightlife, etc; a cosmopolitan city.

Barcelona has has a superb location on the Mediterranean, a vibrant street life, fascinating Gaudi architectures, superb cuisine and a world famous football team. The perfect city for a long weekend. In a weekend you’ll get a taste for the magnificent capital of Catalonia which will have you wanting to return over and over again. And why not with budget airlines offering great deals into Barcelona airport all year round and the easy accessibility of Girona airport to the north.

Best place to stay is near the Ramblas and in the Gothic Quarter so the most important places are not far away: Gaudi’s masterpiece, the unfinished Sagrada Família Cathedral, and Parc Güell in the north, etc.

In the evening there are plenty cafés and restaurants around the Ramblas but you might like to head down to the harbour to dine at Port Olímpic or in a traditional paella restaurant in the La Barceloneta area.
