Cataluña is a unique region in Spain, which managed to preserve that unique flavor that makes it special even for Spanish people, who can experience something different in their own country. For the foreigners, Barcelona is the most popular destination in the Iberian peninsula, ahead of Madrid and Lisbon, and there’s for a good reason. This is the city which brilliantly succeeds in combining the intense night life with some relaxing afternoons at the seaside and long walks between the numerous landmarks that are scattered all over Barcelona.
Home to one of the most successful soccer teams in history, this city transforms into a huge outdoor party whenever the local team plays an important match. Since they win most of the fixtures, fiesta is unleashed and even during the week you won’t get the feeling that you are stuck in a busy and gloomy city. Gaudi’s legacy is all over the place, and if you have the time to wait in a queue at the Sagrada Familia, you won’t regret the time spent. Otherwise you can spend a lovely afternoon wandering through Park Guell, admiring some of the most original houses and sculptures ever constructed.
For those who are more interested in having a good time and are crazy about night clubs, bars and taverns, Barcelona is the perfect destination. People are friendly and even if you can’t speak Spanish, the language barrier won’t prevent you from meeting new people and make friends. It is like free online dating, only with faster and more reliable results, so you won’t lack company during the days spent in the pearl of Cataluña.
