Why visit Barcelona

• Barcelona is Catalonia’s capital — a Mediterranean port with Roman roots, medieval Gothic Quarter, and Gaudí’s modernisme boom.
• The 1992 Olympics transformed the waterfront; tourism later strained the Gothic Quarter and beachfront.
• Catalan language, cuisine (not just ‘Spanish tapas’), and politics are part of understanding the city beyond postcards.
• Grid-like Eixample and organic Old City offer two completely different walking experiences.
