      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.

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.
