"The city of the sun" a Barcelona Travel Page by Joacim

Barcelona has a very long history. You can find traces of original tribes, the romans, the arabs, the french, etc. To understand how all this has mixed itself together and created the Barcelona that exists today is a fascinating journey with an almost endless number of sources to choose from.

To walk around in the citys oldest parts and walk on the same streets that the roman soldiers once did makes you think and wonder how Barcelona will affect you. If you don't take care, Barcelona will affect you a lot, like it always has done during all centuries.

I can understand why so many people chooses to live in this fantastic city. You have the weather, the culture, the history, the mix of people and nationalities. One guide told me that there are living around 150 different nationalities in Barcelona.

That mixture makes the city a fascinating place to be in. You can find everything if you look for it and all those influences creates a city, vibrating and full of life!
