Famous People
Barcelona is unique. It has something for everyone and is one of Europe's top destinations. The only problem you will encounter is that there will never be enough time to explore its many museums and monuments, churches and galleries, its fascinating seaboard and, above all, its delectable cuisine. To enjoy your stay to the full, you will need to adopt the Barcelonan lifestyle - a striking blend of businesslike efficiency combined with long alfresco lunches, lazy siestas, ritual evening passeixus (promenades) and an intoxicating nightlife. You will long remember its proud yet generous people, who will welcome you back with open arms when you return, as you surely will.
