The second largest city in Spain, Barcelona is a cultural gem that has much to offer you if you venture there on a short break or a longer holiday. One of the first things that will strike you about Barcelona is its magnificent architecture. The city boasts numerous artistic influences across many historical periods, including Gaudi and Picasso.
