About Barcelona
Barcelona is the capital of the Catalonian region in northeastern Spain and is one of the largest cities in Europe. It’s a popular choice for tourists wanting to soak up the Spanish sun, thanks to its mix of Gothic architecture, energetic street art, and nightlife that never sleeps. There are even sun-kissed beaches too — pull up a deckchair at Barceloneta Beach or go splashing in the Meditteranean Sea at Sant Sebastià Beach.
Reus artist Antoni Gaudí’s influence can be felt all over Barcelona. See Sagrada Familia in construction before it's completed in 2026! Gaudí’s old house is even in Park Güell. And don’t miss the hotspot location of Las Ramblas. It’s a lively pedestrianised street lined with dozens of outdoor cafés. Will you be drawn to the food stalls or the human statues?
