is a is a cosmopolitan hotbed of culture and
art that moves at a dynamic pace. A thriving
modern city with a rich cultural heritage that

its dazzling aray of styles and buildings. Home
to Gaudí’s world famous architectural
masterpieces, Barcelona is a city proud of its
Catalan roots, yet is forward thinking and prosperous.

means that this area has been, and continues
to be, cutting edge . Attracting thousands upon
thousands of visitors each year, Barcelona’s
architectural and cultural heritage and its
prime position on the shores of the Mediterranean
make the area a fascinating and exciting place.
More than half of the province’s population
live in Barcelonès and the region attracts
large numbers of immigrants not only from the
rest of Catalonia but from all over the world.
Barcelona’s beaches attract huge numbers
of visitors each summer and there is something
for everyone, from the frenetic party resorts
of Sitges, the package resorts of the Costa
Brava or the quiet, undiscovered rocky coves
tucked away on hidden parts of the coast. |
