Barcelona, Spain
Just what about Barcelona will draw you in? It could be its international vibe, its artistic soul, its medieval nooks and crannies, Catalonian history, or all of it! Catalans are fiercely proud of their regional identity, evidenced by their preservation of the local language and traditions, like the seemingly impossible castellers (human towers). With a base in Barcelona, all that Spain has to offer is within reach, from La Rioja vineyards and Basque Country to Sevilla and Madrid.
Explore the unique contrast of historical and modern as you stroll through the centuries-old buildings of Barrio Gótico on your way to some of the hottest fashion and design shops in Europe. Complete the picture with gorgeous beaches, outdoor markets, jaw-dropping architectural masterpieces, a champion soccer team and a thriving cultural scene. Like us, you will be sure to fall in love with Barcelona!
