Barcelona is one of the most popular cities
of Europe of today. It is located on the Mediterranean coast. This city is
really a collection of multi-faceted
and diverse cities. It also consists of 68 municipal parks, the largest of
which is Montjuic, situated on the hill of the same name and is home to some
fine museums and leisure attractions.
The tourists or visitor unfamiliar with its history might be
surprised that such a modern and enterprising city preserves its historic
Gothic center almost intact, or by the curious contrast between the maze
of narrow streets and the grid-like layout of the Eixample, the urban planning "Enlargement" project
of the end of the 19th century.
According to a survey, Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain
in both size and population. It is the capital of Catalonia, 1 of the 17 Autonomous
Communities that make up Spain. One thing that is mandatory to do when one

types, from Italians, to French, or Asian kitchen, as well as restaurants of
several regions of the Iberian Peninsula, and of course Catalan restaurants.
Besideds this There are also a wide variety of traditional desserts with crème
catalane (crème brulee) being one of the most popular. Mel i mato (curd
cheese with honey), postre de music (spiced fruit cake) and cocas (pastries
covered with sugar and pine nuts) are all speciality confectionery of Barcelona.
While there visit in this beautiful city many tourists come with the Spanish
phrasebooks in hand to find that the locals would much rather speak English
than Spanish. Of course, this isn’t to say that they don’t understand
Spanish, in fact most are able to speak both Catalan and Spanish fluently, but
Catalonians are extremely proud of their heritage and like to emphasize the distinction
between Spain and Catalonia.
Not only this, Barcelona consists of 68 municipal parks, the largest of which
is Montjuic, situated on the hill of the same name and is home to some fine
museums and leisure attractions and this is the main reason why tourists come
to this city. If you want to travel along the Catalan coast then you will use
the train or the bus. You can also take a Ryan air flight to the Girona airport.
No body can deny the truth that Barcelona is one of the lively cities of
the world with a great deal to offer the thousands of tourists who go there
each
year. It is said that if you drink from the famous Canaletes fountain on
La Rambla, you will fall under the city’s spell and are sure to return again.
This beautiful and fascinating place is also pretty close to the border with
France, and there you will really enjoy the beautiful beaches with space
to place your towel and to enjoy under the sun. Personal tricks for you, when
you arrive to the main beach, don’t limit yourself to stay there. If
you go back to Llançà, you will find some buses that can take
you to the more tourist places such as Platja d'Aro, Sant Feliu de Guíxols,
Lloret de Mar and many others.
Also you will find buses to another intermediately
tourist zone, specially the one called Cadaqués.From any of those destinations
you can always come back to Girona or to Barcelona with bus service. Normally
a company called Sarfa is the one that operates all this routes. Concerning
the south part from Barcelona, the train will be your only and very economic
mean of transport. All trains from Barcelona to national destinations depart
from Sants-Estació.
This Barcelona city is famous for its Catalan cost and Sitges is one most
important tourist resorts on the Catalan Coast. It has managed to preserve
its scenic ambience and its artistic and cultural heritage. This is why Sitges
enjoys a year-round tourist trade that makes more than one believe that Sitges
is a non-stop party. To a certain extent this is true, since the town has a
calendar dense with cultural activities and festivals.
Its Carnival has achieved world renown its old-car rallies have drawn throngs,
as have the floral street carpeting during Corpus Christi, the International
Festival of Fantastic and Horror Cinema, the Theatre.
In many ways, this city of Spain called Barcelona has a distinct culture
to that of the fiesta-and-siesta imagery that is conjured up by Spain’s
southern regions. Whilst it prides itself on its heritage and language, it
preserves a unique charm that can’t be found elsewhere. It is, indeed,
a jewel in the sun.
