Barcelona, Spain
Spain's second largest city, Barcelona is a principal Mediterranean port, and therefore an important commercial location. Founded in Roman times, the city held political significance throughout a major part of its history, and was, at different times, the capital of the Counts of Barcelona and an important city in the Crown of Aragon. Known for industrial design, as well its service industry, the city is a popular location for conventions, no doubt partly due to its sunny weather during the summer months.
Those who want to take advantage of the great climate would do well to explore a few of the cities seven beaches that stretch a total of 4.5 kilometres along the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea. Of these, the Sant Sebastià and Barceloneta beaches are the most oldest and most famous.
With 68 municipal parks divided into categories such as historic, thematic, urban and forest, Barcelona offers a wide variety of destinations for those who like walking and hiking. The urban parks cover roughly 10% of the city area, giving nature lovers plenty of space to see the city just the way they want to. Montjuïc, the destination's largest park, is spread out over 203 hectares on its namesake mountain, and is a great spot to visit for those who want to get away from the city centre for a while.
As a city of its age should, Barcelona also boasts of many cultural venues, including the Gran Theatre del Liceu opera theatre, The National Museum of Art of Catalonia, and architect Antoni Gaudí's masterpiece, the Roman Catholic church of the Sagrada Família, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has been under construction since 1882, and is scheduled to be completed only by 2026.
From its beautiful beaches, to its array of parks, performing arts venues and architectural marvels, Barcelona is truly a city that has the ability to cater to every kind of visitor. Whether you're in the city for a convention, or have decided to stop by to just savour the Mediterranean air, Barcelona will no doubt treat you with its age old hospitality.
