It's the capital of Catalunya, which is a region of Northern Spain that has its own unique culture and traditions.

Two of which are the great Picasso and Miro who have museums dedicated to some of their more important works. There are lots of other museums and art galleries dotted all around the city so you'll always have plenty of art to experience whilst here. Should you ever find your mind fried from art and culture overload then you can spend the day recovering on one of Barcelona's sandy beaches only a short stroll from the city centre. Order a sangria at one of the bars and kick of your shoes, sit back and enjoy the sun, sea and the view.

The Spanish don't tend to eat their evening meal until 9pm and bars don't tend to kick off until well after 11pm so if you're after good atmosphere it's a good idea to pace yourself. Food/Restaurants: Be sure to try patatas bravas which are Spain's answer to chips, smothered in a spicy tomato sauce. If you like your meat then your eyes will be light up from the sheer abundance of Serrano ham.

Then there are the usual favourites like Chorizo sausage and the abundant fresh seafood. Don't miss the barbequed squid, marinated sardines and fresh shell fish. Some Classic Catalan dishes to try are the Bacalla a la llauna (salted cod baked in tomato, garlic, parsley, paprika and wine) and the Truita de Botifarra (sausage omelette).
