Barcelona

About Barcelona

Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is Spain's second-largest city with around 1.7 million inhabitants. Situated on the north-western Mediterranean coast, it blends dense urban life with immediate access to the sea. The city is strongly shaped by the work of Antoni Gaudí, most notably the Sagrada Família, a basilica under continuous construction for over a century. Beyond the urban core, spots such as Turó de les Bateries offer elevated green escapes. Gothic heritage, Modernista architecture, and a diverse food culture define the character of this compact coastal metropolis.
