When visiting Barcelona, you will be surprised by the liveliness and vividness of the city,
the courtesy of its inhabitants, its cosmopolitan atmosphere and the beauty of the areas and
buildings. The architecture of Gaudí has a special impact on tourists, particularly for
those who haven’t had the chance to admire his work previously. We have to point out the
worldwide famous Holy Family Church (La Sagrada Familia), the Güell Park, and the Batlló
and La Pedrera Houses, located at one of the most majestic avenues of the city:

Paseo de Gracia. Las Ramblas, another traditional and significant avenue of Barcelona -
also called Ciudad Condal – offers lots of entertainment due to the atmosphere of sounds,
colours and life that make indispensable to take a walk enjoying the life of the city.
The Gothic square of the city, with the Barcelona’s Cathedral as its standard, is another must
for the visitors. Its streets, to which you can get access from Las Ramblas, represent the
real and authentic historic city centre, transporting the walker to another time.

The quality and variety of the museums of Barcelona is just impressive. Among many others,
the Picasso Museum, the Miró Foundation, the Tàpies Museum and the National Museum of
Catalonia are particularly attractive. The very famous Liceo's Theatre, the Music Palace
and the National Hall of Catalonia are authentic cultural symbols of the city, representing
the best setting for those wishing to enjoy the best concerts and operas.
Barcelona, a city facing the Mediterranean Sea
Barcelona is a Mediterranean city facing the sea that lives in the daylight as much as at night.
The Maremagnum and the Olympic Marina areas are two of the city nightspots where you can
enjoy greater nightlife. There are any number of historic theatres and cinemas of Barcelona
located at the pioneering Paral·lel Avenue, not so far away from the areas named above,
though currently it is possible to find - as it is a cosmopolitan city - ludic and playful
places the length and breadth of the city.
In the sports background, the Barcelona Football Club (colloquially known as Barça) is an
international Barcelona symbol and a must for the visitors, although it is not the only football
Barcelona Football Club Stadium: TheNou Camp
team of the city (there can be watched football games between the Spanish Royal Sports Club
(Real Club Deportivo Espanyol) and other football teams at the Montjuïc
Olympic Stadium).
The Barcelona F.C. museum is one of the most visited museums in Spain. Football is the king
of sports; however, there are lots of international competitions taking place in Barcelona
such as tennis competitions (the Earl Godó Trophy), the Catalonia Formula One Grand Prix,
a Motorcycling Grand Prix, athletics, basketball, handball, swimming and sailing competitions,
and a lot more besides that attract thousands of fans every year, for whom Sitges and the
Beach & Golf Hotel or the Sitges Sunway Apartments are the
best choices when deciding where to stay at.
