|  | Barcelona is the big city in Catalonia A very well run city by any standard, Barcelona has plenty to do. The metro system is all anyone really needs to get around, so I'd skip the rental car unless one plans to drive up into the Pyrennes. A must see place is Gaudi's masterpiece--the Sagrada Familia--which is worth visiting morning, dusk, and night for all the photo benefits. |
Villages such as Ripol are good day trips I like taking the metro system out to Monserrat and other such places, including Ripol, which has an excellent Romansque style cathedral. | | |

| Pros: | "Spain is an easy place to enjoy anytime of year" | | Cons: | "As with the rest of Europe, prices can be high" | | In A Nutshell: | "Catalonia, the part of Spain I know best, is worth a couple weeks" |

The architecture does look amazing...I'll be here in 5 months to see it all with my very own eyes! Nice photos. | uglyscot Tue Jun 27, 2006 07:58 UTC
Too many folk miss the little details. I can't remember it correctly but didn't the vagrant poet, William Davies, say something like "What is this life though full of care we have no time to stand and stare'? |
