About Barcelona

Barcelona ofrece los edificios fantásticos de Gaudí y un Barrio Gótico medieval entre playas y colinas verdes, con buena mesa y vida nocturna.

La obra de Antoni Gaudí define la imagen de la ciudad. La Sagrada Família se alza sobre el Eixample, la Casa Batlló y la Casa Milà bordean el elegante paseo de Gràcia, y las terrazas de mosaico del parque Güell dominan los tejados. El Barrio Gótico conserva su catedral, estrechas callejuelas y plazas escondidas, y el Born suma el Museo Picasso y la esbelta iglesia de Santa Maria del Mar.

Top-ranked sights in Barcelona: Sagrada Família, Montserrat Mountain, Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic).
