Why we love Barcelona

The city of Barcelona has increasingly become one of Europe’s must-visit destinations since it hosted the Olympics in 1992, with a rich local culture, a fantastic heritage and with something to offer for everyone.

In addition to the excitement and buzz of Barcelona’s beautiful architecture, landmarks, restaurants and bars, the wider Catalonia region has superb beaches, forests, mountains, and a highly agreeable Mediterranean climate.

With a strong regional identity, Catalan and Castilian Spanish is spoken by the locals in Barcelona, whilst in cities such as Girona, Reus and Tarragona there is more local Catalan culture, cuisine and tradition to discover.
