Barcelona
City of Gaudi
From the medieval cobblestone lanes of Barri Gòtic to the grand Modernista-lined avenues of L’Eixample, the Catalan capital is one splendid open-air museum. Basked in color and creative energy, it’s not only the City of Gaudi, but a city of a million facets. It’s the fine golden sands of Barceloneta, the molecular gastronomy of Ferran Adrià, and the dribbling genius of Messi. It’s art, history, and Mediterranean exuberance – all rolled into one magnificent, never-ending spectacle.
