Discovering Barcelona

Although not the capital of Spain, Barcelona is probably one of the most travelled to places in Spain and Europe in general. Especially Europeans like to come to the city for get-away trips, as it is very international and offers a lot to visitors. There are many restaurants with Spanish and international cuisine, a vibrant nightlife for the younger and for everyone who feels young. There are many sights as well: The Sagrada Familia of course, but also the Tibidabo mountain with its magnificent views over the city, and the famous Rambla street. Last but not least, there is the sea with endless beaches full of sand and summer joy – when there is summer, of course. However, Barcelona is worth a visit in every time of the year.

Details of Barcelona

Sometimes you need to look closer. Whether in cities you know well or in places you have never been to before, through new perspectives you gain new insight. Sometimes it is as much as to look up to facades of buildings you never really consciously looked at, they were just there, a screensaver to your everyday life. There is beauty hidden everywhere, but the beauty sometimes lies in the little observations.

Gothic Barcelona

Gothic is not necessarily the architectural style which comes to mind first when talking about Barcelona. You rather associate the capital of Catalunya with the Modernismo movement, the local version of Jugendstil and in general with the beginning of the 20th century. However, the city of Barcelona is older. Much older, in fact. It was founded as Barcino in the times of the Roman empire and was an important city at the Mediterranean sea throughout the middle ages. Therefore, as the rest of Europe during the middle ages, it was influenced largely by the Gothic style of architecture. There is some of it still left in the city, particularly the magnificent old Cathedral in the city center of Barcelona.

Parc Güell in Pictures

Parc Guell is a private recreational park in Barcelona, Spain. It is well known for its architecture and overall composition, thought out by the famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi. The structures here, bridges and buildings, have a foreign, almost strange, feel to them. However, it is a beautiful sight and a must-visit when in Barcelona.
