| Antoni Gaudi art in Parc Guell |
In may 2003 I was 3 days of my Spain trip in Barcelona. Barcelona (population: 1,7 million) is located less than 150 km from the Pyrenees at the southeastern coast of Spain.
The vibrant city is girded by the Monjuic and Tibidabo hills, which offer panoramic views of the town and its harbour. The most famous sights of Barcelona include the busy market boulevard La Rambla and the works of architect and designer Antoni Gaudi like La Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell.
Last but not least Barcelona has plenty of cafes, bars, pubs and restaurants for a rest and for tasting local and international specialities.

Great page on Barcelona Holger. The Arc de Triomf is especially beautiful as is the Plaza Espana. I also enjoy cities where you can easily walk to see the main attractions. | unaS Thu Aug 7, 2008 21:55 UTC

I just come back from warm Spain. You also notice the inflation of Cerveza stock price @ Las Ramblas ;-) Hasta pronto! | Maurizioago Mon Feb 4, 2008 17:09 UTC
