Synopsis:

This beautifully illustrated book takes you through 300 pages of breathtaking photographs of the Hospital San Pau, the Barcelona Museum of Modern Art, Montjuïc park and the Plaça Catalunya.

From the Back Cover: The Spanish poet Garcia Lorca once said that La Rambla was the only street in the world which he wished would never end. Something similar could be said about the city in which this 1,2 km long pedestrian street is situated. While visiting
Barcelona, everyone wishes their stay could last forever. And with Destination Barcelona in your hands, it can. The second largest city of Spain and the capital of its autonomous community Catalonia, is also Europe's biggest metropolis on the
Mediterranean coast. Even more so: according to National Geographic, it has the best urban beaches in the world!

This beautifully illustrated book takes you through 300 pages of breathtaking photographs of the Hospital San Pau, the Barcelona Museum of Modern Art, Montjuïc park and the Plaça Catalunya. It shows the Barri Gòtic or Gothic Quarter in which the Art Nouveau architecture is gorgeous. Most famous of all is of course Antoni Gaudi, whose work is inseparable from the city. Legendary is his (still unfinished) Sagrada Família, a church that has been under construction since 1882. Come and walk in Park Güell, meet Miró and Picasso, feel the trendy city life, admire the many street artists, support the amazing football team and enjoy the great climate. Once you've been there, you'll go back and back again.
