Barcelona - An Amazing City

by clairegeordio - last update: Jul 4, 2004

View of Barcelona from the cable cars to Montjuic
Barcelona is in the North East of Spain and has 13km of Mediterranean coastline. Barcelona's population is just over 1.5 million.
Barcelona has 53 museums and galleries, 6 beaches, 61 parks and gardens and over 2,300 restaurants.

I went to Barcelona with a friend for 3 nights and 4 days at the end of May 2004. This was a nice time of year to visit as the weather was hot and sunny, but not overbearing.
We stayed in a 2 bedroom flat in the Raval area, about 10 minutes walk from the Ramblas.
I fell in love with Barcelona and it's beautiful architecture, there is so much to see and could have stayed for longer, however, you can get to see a lot in a day as it is not that big and is easy to get around.

In A Nutshell:"A great mixture of the old Gothic and the new Modernist buildings"
