Just around the corner is the pedestrian boulevard of Rambla de Catalunya, where lime-trees provide shade for the sidewalk cafés spilling into the street.

Catalan Culture on the Coast

Barcelona was once a hidden gem, with only the savviest travelers including a stop here in their European itineraries. No longer. Today’s Barcelona is on the top of everyone’s list, especially those looking for a rich cultural experience alongside afternoons at the beach. Barcelona may have become an international city, but its spirit remains distinctly Catalonian.

Barcelona’s unique brand of culture is on display everywhere in this city. Step into the sprawling La Boqueria food market and taste freshly sliced jamón Serrano and order fish caught that same day. Take in the view from Gaudí’s eccentric Park Güell or marvel at his masterpiece, La Sagrada Família, a surreal cathedral still under construction more than 80 years after his death. Head to Las Ramblas, the city’s main artery, and order from a long list of authentic tapas before joining the locals for late-night dancing. Once your cultural appetite has been satisfied, lay out a towel on one of Barcelona’s golden-sand beaches and watch the waves roll in. Has Barcelona topped your list yet?
