City Break to Barcelona

 

 

Barcelona, the cosmopolitan capital of Spain’s Catalonia region, is defined by quirky art and architecture, imaginative food and vibrant street life. Barcelona is one of the most visited cities in Europe, both by tourists who travel for pleasure or for business travelers who travel for conferences, meetings or all kinds of exhibitions. Barcelona has a great location and is has mild climate throughout the year. The coldest time during the year is usually from December to February, in which the average temperature is between 10 and 12°C. The hottest month is usually August, with temperature around 29°C, so it’s the perfect climate to go to the beach and enjoy the sun. Barcelona is located on the coast and there are miles of beaches all along the north. The main beach of Barcelona is divided into five or more smaller beaches and each beach offers a great relax. Barcelona is as the capital of Modernism and you can find many monuments built and designed by famous Antoni Gaudi. The most impressive Gaudi’s works that I recommend are: the Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera, Casa Batlloand Park Guell. In addition, in Barcelona you also find spectacular gothic Cathedral or the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar. So there is plenty of reasons to visit Barcelona.
