What an amazing, absolutely incredible city! If you haven’t visited, you definitely need to put Barcelona on your ‘must see’ or bucket list! We’ll let the photos speak for themselves. Barcelona is like a speeding train – you just need to jump & hold on as best you can! It’s a very vibrant city - moves rapidly – extremely clean – bustling with thousands of people and heavy traffic wherever you go, but the conjestion & hectic pace is wonderful to experience. The architecture is breathtaking – we saw the old buildings with the creative balconies & steeples, the new structures, the 1992 Olympic Stadium and most of the related event venues. It was chilly, rained occassionally, but we toured every possible corner of the city via the Hop-on/Hop-off bus system and just let ourselves be absorbed with the energy of the people & the beautiful, unique sights!
Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, and the second largest city in the country, with a population of about 1.7M within its administrative limits. The urban area of Barcelona extends beyond the administrative city limits with a population of around 4.5 million - the 6th most populous urban area in Europe. Barcelona is today one of the world's leading tourist, economic, trade fair/exhibitions and cultural-sports centres, and its influence in commerce, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities. We were there for two incredible days.
Wow...What a City!!
