TRAVEL BY train to this large, lively, exciting coastal city.
Visit all the exciting places you have heard about! See Antoni Gaudi's thought-provoking buildings. His masterpiece of course is the "unfinished cathedral" which was started in the late 19th century as a tribute to the coming 20th century, and still remains unfinished in the 21st century. What a stunning piece of architecture it is. Marvel at the wonderful Camp Nou football stadium, home of the mighty Barcelona football club, as well as a whole range of other sporting teams, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and so on. Then, on the outskirts, you find the university parks centred round the old Royal Palace, and, also, the mountain of the Jews (Montjuic), with a castle overlooking the bay. Cable cars sweep across from there to the port and beyond.The 1992 Olympics were held in Barcelona, and the city still benefits from the superb facilities built for that event. In the marina, hundreds of small yachts bob up and down in the wash created by passing mini-cruisers packed with happy sightseers. In the nearby "Ramblas" clearly the best known street in Spain, passers-by are entertained by an incredible variety of performers, busking for an income. They range from the highly talented to the outright zany. Flower vendors and artists compete with the entertainers for the many thousands of euros, which change hands every day in this street. In the square in front of the original theatre, you'll find "classy" buskers, mostly music students earning a crust, playing some genuinely beautiful music on the 'cello, violin, and harp, amongst other instruments.Barcelona buzzes night and day and, in this city, you'll never run out of things to see.
