Barcelona

Description:

Out of all of Spain’s wonderful cities, Barcelona seems to be one of the most popular.  From coastal views to the rich art and architectural heritage, you’ll quickly see why.  Why not get some perspective on it all from the most famous site of all, the Sagrada Familia?  It is a church – or piece of art? – created by famed artist Antoni Gaudi; the design is so complex that it still isn’t finished, despite having been started in 1882.  Head down the spiral stairs and admire it from afar for a different perspective, and then reflect on your thoughts while people watching on Las Ramblas, the hive of Barcelona’s cultural district.  This is a great place to sit and enjoy a glass of sangria, a beer, or even try out some tapas with fresh local ingredients.  Beyond Las Ramblas, you can also walk the Barri Gotic, Barcelona’s old medieval town, or pay a visit to Art Montfalcon, a souvenir shop that is noteworthy for having what seems to be just about one of everything.
