At two hours from the Roussillon offers Barcelona to its visitors all the aspects and advantages of a modern capital turned towards the world.

Warmth, joy of living and friendliness are the key-words to describe our neignbours of South-Catalonia.

Underground, busses and taxis allow for easy moving. It is recommended to leave your car in one of the guarded car parks at the entrance of the city for the duration of your stay in order to avoid problems such as traffic jams, impounding and theft.

Watch out for opening hours : The shops are open from 10 a.m. till 2 p.m.; they are closed from 2 p.m. till 5 p.m.; and they are open again till 20-21.

The Ramblas, with their mosaic flooring designed by Miro, are an ideal place for walking, in daytime, but especially at nighttime. Artists, painters and vistors meet for a never-ending spectacle which is always renewed.

  • Antonio Gaudi

    Gaudi, ceramist, sculptor and architect of genius has left his powerful and original mark on Barcelona.

    You will discover Gaudi first of all during a visit at the Güell Park, which overlooks Barcelona. Apart from Gaudi's house, the entire park is a symphony of colourful mosaics, meandering terraces, columns and nooks. Many hours, if not many visits seem to impose themselves.

    The second highlight of Gaudi's genius is the Sagrada Familia (The Holy Family). An unfinished edifice which created a scandal in its time. A marvel of architectural daring, with its eighteen slender towers and its look of molten lava. As the blueprints of the Sagrada Familia have been burnt by the Franquists, the work has been taken over by Subirachs, causing a lot of polemics.

    La Sagrada Familia

    Mallorca 401. Tel: 452 02 47

    Gaudi built a lot of buildings which you can discover all along the avenues. You cannot be mistaken.

    La Pedrera

    Casa Milà. Passeig de Gracia. Tel: 484 59 04.

    Le Palais Güell

    Nou de la Rambla 3-5. Tel: 317 51 96.

    Many buildings and architectural elements lie scattered all over the city and they may be an excellent occasion for the amateurs to go out for a real treasure-hunt : fabulous grids with dragons, exteriour staircases, lifts, the crypt of the church which was built by Gaudi for the Colonia Güell, etc...

  • The Zoo of Barcelone, once famous for its white gorilla, is an ideal walking ground for the children. A beuatiful aquarium.
