BARCELONA SPAIN VACATIONS!
Barcelona is the most cosmopolitan and
economically active city in Spain, and has always
managed to stay ahead or abreast of the latest
international trends. This is evident in the architecture,
which so accurately reflects the zest for life
of this city of vivid colors and boundless energy.
Barcelona is stretched out on a plain
next to the Mediterranean sea in the very north
of the Spanish coast, bordering France, between
the rivers Llobregat and Besos and between two
mountains, Collserola and Montjuïc.The result
is scenic beauty beyond measure.
Wherever you stay in Barcelona, the excellent
public transportation system gives easy access
to the entire city. A visitor might choose to
stay in the old town near the bustling boulevard
known as La Rambla within walking distance of
centuries old, architecturally splendid buildings.
Another choice would be the spacious Eixample
district with its wealth of shopping opportunities
and fine restaurants. Whatever the choice, Barcelonians
will be delighted to have you sharing the beauty
of their city
Festivals and carnivals brighten every
season. There is always something to celebrate
in Barcelona from the grape harvest in the Fall
to the Feast of Santa Eulalia in the winter and
the marvelous Terrassa Jazz Festival in the Spring,
followed by the summer arts festival and many
more.
There is no question that Barcelona seems to have
discovered the secret to eternal youth...
