The
Rough Guide to Barcelona
Tour Barcelona. Barcelona has boomed since the early 1990s,
when preparations for the Olympic Games wrenched it into modernity,
and today it remains well in the vanguard of other Spanish cities,
with the possible exception of Madrid, in terms of prosperity,
stability and cultural activity. It’s a confident, progressive
city, looking towards the rest of Europe for its inspiration
and its innovations, the classic tourist images of Spain seem
firmly out of place in Barcelona’s bustling central boulevards
and stylish modern streets. And style is what brings many visitors
here, attracted by enthusiastic newspaper and magazine articles
which make much of the outrageous architecture, user-friendly
city design, agreeable climate and frenetic nightlife. Even
the medieval Gothic quarter and its once-notorious red-light
area have been swept up by the citywide renovation programme,
which is still running at full tilt. As the new millennium starts
Barcelona has continued to blossom from provincial city to a
European capital.
"Time
Out" Barcelona ("Time Out" Guides)
Unparalleled in its enthusiasm for a good time, Barcelona barely
has time to take down the bunting between its rollicking festivals.
When there isn't an all-night fiesta happening on the street,
there's more than likely a party on the beach and never any
shortage of action in its clubs and bars. All of this takes
place in a perfect climate and against a backdrop of mind-blowing
Modernista architecture and a cityscape as varied as any. Gentler
pursuits are also myriad; the city's museums have got it all
covered from Picasso to perfume, its galleries are among the
most avantgarde in Europe and its history is writ large in the
churches and perfectly preserved medieval alleyways of the Barri
Gotic. Tour Barcelona.
A feast for the senses, Catalonia's capital has a distinctly Mediterranean feel. Its revitalization for the 1992 Olympics made Barcelona the place to be on the continent. A picturesque location, Europe's best-preserved Gothic Quarter, Gaudí's delightfully cheeky architecture and galleries with the treasures of Miró, Tápies and Picasso make Barcelona visually stunning indoors and out. "New Catalan Cuisine" and tapas bars tempt the taste buds, and the nightlife and music are on the cutting edge.
