Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is a coastal city located in the northeast of Spain.
You can enjoy the various beaches in Barcelona throughout the year because the climate is Mediterranean with temperatures around 20 degrees. Summer is the best time to visit Barcelona when temperatures rise up to around 30 degrees and restaurants, bars and beaches are filled with people.
On the one hand, Barcelona is cosmopolitan, modern and dynamic but on the other hand the city has many influences from the medieval and gothic period. The history of Barcelona can be discovered in “El Barrio Gótico”, a district with buildings of medieval architecture.

Barcelona is also well known as the capital of modernism, particularly inspired by architect Antoni Gaudí who as constructed architectural masterpieces such as “La Casa Milà”, “El Parque Güell” and Barcelona’s emblem “La Sagrada Familia”, a great Catholic church that has been under construction since 1882.

Another place to visit in Barcelona is the promenade “Las Ramblas” where you will not only find cafés, restaurants and bars but also artists, caricaturists, jugglers and singers. “!Todo el mundo se encuentra en Las Ramblas!”

As I am a passionate fan of FC Barcelona, it would be inevitable for me to visit the “Camp Nou”, home of FC Barcelona and one of the biggest football stadiums in the world with a capacity of approximately 100.000 people.

Barcelona is truly a spectacular, exciting and unique city and I hope soon I will get a chance to be a part of it.
