Barcelona is the capital and the most populous city of Catalonia and the second largest city in Spain, after Madrid. It's also one of the most popular destinations in Europe, especially for spring and summer city breaks. The city went through a major transformation in the early 1990's and now it includes a man made but attractive beach, lots of palm trees and a lively cosmopolitan port. The city has a lot to offer the visitor, here is a guide to the best attractions in town:
*Visit Picasso's Museum even if you only have a slight interest in art. It's definitely one of the best art galleries in the city.
* Park Guell is a garden complex with architectural elements situated on the hill of el Carmel in the Grcia district. It's a lovely spot which is well worth a visit.
* La Sagrada is a huge Catholic church, although incomplete, the church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is worth putting on your attractions to visit list.
* The incredible Batllo House is sometimes called the House of Bones and indeed it does have a visceral, skeletal organic quality. It was originally designed for a middle-class family and situated in a prosperous district of Barcelona.
