Spanish in Barcelona
Barcelona
Basking in the glow of democracy after 40
years of suffering under Franco, Barcelona has
reclaimed its place as one of the most
cosmopolitan and dynamic cities in Europe.
Barcelona, it might be
said, is a city obsessed with design and style. Perhaps its sense of
style is rooted in the evocative Barri Gotic (the Gothic Quarter) -
the greatest concentration of medieval architecture in Europe.
Or perhaps it is the legacy of architect Antonio Gaudi and his followers -
whose lyrical, flowing buildings are the image of Barcelona to millions.
Young architects from all over the world come to see for themselves what
books and photographs cannot convey - from the poetic Cathedral of
Sagrada Familia to the playful Parc Guell to hundreds of
lesser-known buildings all over Barcelona (many listed as UNESCO World
Heritage Sites).
If the soul of Barcelona is Gaudí, its heart is Las Ramblas: the central spine of Barcelona, filled with flower kiosks, outdoor cafés and restaurants and colorful street performers. Take a seat in an outdoor café in the evening and you will see all of Barcelona promenading in front of you: young couples courting, married couples with baby strollers, grandparents with their grandchildren. All of Barcelona.
Must
See's
Las Ramblas
Barcelona's best known promenade
is a constant colourful flood of humanity past flower stalls, vendors,
mimes, musicians and outdoor cafes.
Gothic quarter and Barri de la Ribera
Walk the maze of small alleyways, see brilliant gothic
architecture and many other sights including Cathedral de la Seu,
El Born, and the elegant Santa Maria del Mar church.
Sagrada familia
Perhaps no single architect has ever marked a major city as
comprehensively and spectacularly as Antoni Gaudi imprinted on Barcelona.
And perhaps the Sagrada Familia is his greatest (and still unfinished) work.
Montjuic
It is easy to spend a day (or two!) at this hill park with stunning
walks, the dramatic Castell de Montjuicc, Olympic Games (1992) Stadium,
Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya and much more.
Picasso museum
Barcelona's claim to Picasso is contested with Malaga. Picasso spent his
sporadic but formuative period od his youth in Barcelona between 1895 and
1904.
Bars and Cafes:
Barcelona has more bards and cafes per capita than any other place in
the world. Here you will find a wide selection of colourful tapa
restaurants, sunny outdoor cafes, coctelerias (cocktail bars), whiskerias,
and xampanyerias (serving champagne and cava - the Catalan sparking wine)
