Bold, beautiful Barcelona
Barcelona offers everything that's great about Spain, but with the Catalonian and French influences nearby, Barcelona is sophisticated, eclectic, and a very open minded place that attracts artists and creative people of all kinds. This is reflected in a city full of wonderful, eccentric buildings, including the famous architecture by Gaudi. Barcelona is also the capital city of Catalonia, so the official languages are Spanish and Catalan.
Best time to travel
A part Mediterranean, part southern European climate ensures that Barcelona is great all year round, but coincide with one of these events and you will have an even better time: 6th January: ""Dia de los Reyes"" (Three Wise Men), which is the most important day of Christmas festivities in Spain. In February there's the Carnival. In August, in the ""Gràcia"" district, there's a massive street party, the ""Fiesta major de Gràcia"", and on 11th September: ""La Diada de Catalunya"" is Catalonia's independence day.
