Spain's second city is now the country's 'hippest' town. Summer gives way to periodic lapses in sanity with week-long fiesta fun. But year-round the city cooks - it's always on the biting edge of fashion, architecture, food, style, music and good times. The buildings, many of which feature the work of an eccentric genius named Gaudí, will blow you away. The art, with significant collections by Picasso and Miró, will make you happy. The people may fascinate you. To me, Barcelona was my last stop in Spain. The city of Barcelona is very well kept, and is a decent mix of urbanization and regular life. Maybe it was a little too concrete for me, but overall the city thrives with a backpacking community that's ready to party. If you're in Spain, it's worth visiting Barcelona for two days. %c*%m |
