Why visit Barcelona?
There aren't many cities which combine as much to do and see as Barcelona. There's the spectacular cathedral, an Olympic village, a harbour, old quarter and a beach backed by tapas bars.
When should you plan your visit to Barcelona?
There are special events going on throughout the year:
- The 6th of January see the most important Christmas event in Spain - celebrating the Three Wise Men the festival is called Dia de los Reyes.
- In February there's a celebration just before Lent called Carnival with parades, costumes and dancing.
- There's a huge street party in August called Gràcia, and September 11th is Catalonia's Independence Day when special events are held all around the region.
The city is a great destination all year round, but the peak time to visit is spring and summer when the weather is at its best.
Barcelona is a heaven for foodies
The people of Barcelona flavour their dishes with plenty of herbs, garlic and onion. A local favourite is Pan Tomaca con Jamón Serrano which is bread flavoured with garlic, olive oil and tomato with thinly-sliced Serrano ham layered on top. For dessert try Crema Catalana which is similar to cream brûlée.
