Everything you Should know About Traveling to Barcelona

Welcome to the capital of the Catalan region, known for its distinctive fusion of French and German cooking techniques, and the site of the 1888 World's Fair and the 1992 Olympics. Barcelona, a city on the Mediterranean coast, is well-known for its rich culture and legacy and has deep historical roots.

The Magnificent Architecture and Art

When you take a vacation in Barcelona, you will be treated to some of the most beautiful and unusual ancient buildings in the world, which are still unmatched and pristine. It was created by Antonio Gaudi, a Spanish architect of the highest caliber. The church of Sagrada Familia, the one-story apartment of Casa Batlo, Casa Mila, also called "The Quarry," a private residence for several relatives that seems to be bursting around the same corner, Casa Vicens, a summer villa outside of Barcelona that perfectly combines traditional and innovative designs, and, last but not least, the Park Guell, an urban setting project, are all examples of Gaudi's unique masterpiece.

A little more about Barcelona

The Fest de Grec-Barcelona cultural festival takes place in June and July, the international film festival takes place in October and November, and May is crowded with all the grand prix fans. You can admire Barcelona's splendor in any of these seasons or even outside of them. Convenient accommodations that fit your budget are available. There are luxurious homes to treat yourself in the countryside as well as some pleasant hotels in Sur Diagonal, Eixample, Barri Gotic, etc. Barcelona's population has not increased significantly on German streets. With a population of less than four million, the city allows you to freely move around without any hassle.

Picasso's amazing and magnificent art is what awaits, adding to Barcelona's splendor. Picasso's renowned concerto is on display at the Museu Picasso, where the museum's wing features Picasso's rendition of Valazquez's well-known "Las Meninas." In addition to many other amazing items including coins, medals, sculptures, and carvings, the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, or MNAC, has a unique collection of works from the Gothic and Renaissance periods. The MACBA (Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona) and Museu Fundacio Joan Miro museums hold a wealth of 20th-century sculpture and art by well-known artists Joan Miro, Botero, Basquiat, and Motherwell.

Do not miss the Ciutat Vella, an old city tucked away in the heart of Barcelona that boasts beautiful Gothic architecture from the Middle Ages and a memorable march on the pedestrian strip of La Rambla, which is home to lively markets and street performers, while on vacation in Barcelona.

Enjoy the nightlife in the comparatively isolated neighborhood of Gracia, which is close to the center of Barcelona and is home to the renowned Casa Vicens project by Gaudi. Enjoy the delicious seafood that is provided here in Little Barcelona while letting the water caress and soothe your body on the beaches of Barceloneta or Little Barcelona. There is no denying the significance of fresh air along the modern urban development project—for instance, the grid with the garden next to each block.

You won't have any trouble navigating this enormous city, which is divided into many districts and zones, once you enter. You have access to rental cars, buses, trains, and metros. Budget-conscious tourists are advised to have a special "Barcelona Card," which enables them to free admission and discounts to 100 famous locations in addition to invaluable public transportation.
Are you prepared to be mesmerized by the curves and curvatures of Barcelona?

Tips For Travel And Tourism

Barcelona is a huge city with several district proudly showcasing sightseeing, restaurant, nightlife and accommodation. Barcelona is Spain's second largest and the capital of Catalonia, one of the 17 regions that form Spain. The city, Spain's second largest, has a wealth of unique historic architecture and has emerged as one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe during the 1990s.

Barcelona has many quarters, but the most important and interesting for visitors are:

* Ciutat Vella - Barcelona's old town, including the medieval Barri Gotic.

* Eixample - modernist quarter, noted for its art nouveau buildings

* Gràcia - historically a working class neighborhood, now rather gentrified, and very lively

* Barceloneta - historically a fisherman's quarter

When to visit: August is probably the busiest time in Barcelona; at the same time about 10% of shops and restaurants can be found closed from mid-August to early September: owners go to vacations. As humidity is high, 19-23 degrees Celsius (not higher) is the most comfortable weather.

Festivals and events

* Festes de la Mercè Around the 24th of September, the main celebrations in the city. Live music during all the day and night, theatre, life in the streets, castellers, and most of it for free!

* Festes de Gràcia - around the 15th of August, the celebrations from the Gràcia quarter. Many streets are decorated by the neighbours, live music, food in the street, party all night long.

* Festes de Sants - similar to Gracia's event, but smaller and a bit later in August. If you can't go to the Gracia's, try these!

* Sant Jordi 23rd of April. Is like Saint Valentine's in many places. People give roses and books around the streets. Is one of the most popular and interesting celebrations in Catalonia.

Casa de l'Ardiaca during Corpus:

* Corpus. Late in May (Corpus Christi day). An egg is put over the fountains (most of them in the churches, and decorated with flowers), and "magically dances" over the water. Most of the churches are in the city centre: Cathedral's cloister, Santa Anna, Casa de l'Ardiaca, Museu Frederic Marés, and over 10 more fountains.

* Fira de Santa Llúcia From December 2nd/3rd to December 23rd, to commemorate Sta Llúcia (December 13th).

Christmas objects are sold In front of the Cathedral. Some places sell Christmas trees, but most of them sell elements for making the pessebres, the representations of the birth of Jesus that people usually put at home. These include small sculptures, wooden pieces and moss used to simulate grass.

* Revetlla de Sant Joan: for weeks on end, listen to kids shoot off caps and fire crackers. Finish the week with San Juan, head down to the beach for various music stations and all night festivities.

Language: Barcelona's official languages are Catalan and Spanish. Most signs are indicated in Catalan, although Spanish and English are also widely used. Most inhabitants speak both Catalan and Spanish. Most inhabitants do not speak English or other foreign languages, as is the case in most of Spain. Also, remember that many inhabitants, specially if they were born outside Spain, do not speak Catalan and only know Spanish. As in most European countries any attempt by visitors to use the native language, in this case Catalan and Spanish, is always appreciated. The majority of Catalans instinctively address foreigners in Spanish. To avoid giving offence, never refer to Catalan as a dialect, which is an offshoot of another language. Catalan is a language in the same way that French, Portuguese, Italian etc are.
