Barcelona: a city that has it all. Museums, monuments, shops, an abundance of restaurants and cafes, and on top of that it offers a beautiful beach to relax. Barcelona is a vibrant world where life never comes to a standstill…
Barcelona, a world city with a unique character, is commercially, culturally and culinary highly developed. The streets are populated by a melting pot of cultures coming from all corners of the world. At the base, however, is the Catalan identity (‘Barça is not Spain, Barça is Catalonia’). Anyone who enters into conversation with a Barcelonan soon discovers that this love runs deep: the Barcelonans would prefer to establish an independent city state, separate from mother country Spain.
