Barcelona is a huge city with several district articles containing sightseeing, restaurant, nightlife and accommodation.
Barcelona is Spain’s second largest and the capital of Catalonia, one of the 17 regions that form Spain. The city, Spain’s second largest, has a wealth of unique historic architecture and has emerged as one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe during the 1990s.
Barcelona has many quarters, but the most important and interesting for visitors are:
* Ciutat Vella – Barcelona’s old town, including the medieval Barri Gotic.
* Eixample – modernist quarter, noted for its art nouveau buildings
* Grcia – historically a working class neighborhood, now rather gentrified, and very lively
* Barceloneta – historically a fisherman’s quarter
When to visit:
August is probably the busiest time in Barcelona; at the same time about 10% of shops and restaurants can be found closed
from mid-August to early September: owners go to vacations.
As humidity is high, 19-23 degrees Celsius (not higher) is the most comfortable weather.
