Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
Unparalleled in its enthusiasm for a good time, Barcelona barely has time to take down the bunting between its rollicking festivals. When there isnt an all-night fiesta happening on the street, theres more than likely a party on the beach and never any shortage of action in its clubs and bars. All of this takes place in a perfect climate and against a backdrop of mind-blowing Modernista architecture and a cityscape as varied as any. Gentler pursuits are also myriad; the citys museums have got it all covered from Picasso to perfume, its galleries are among the most avant-garde in Europe and its history is writ large in the churches and perfectly preserved medieval alleyways of the Barri. Time Out's resident team helps travelers get the best from the thrilling capital of Catalonia, with illuminating features and independent venue reviews covering everything from historic tapas bars and clubs to quirky tours and festivals. Barcelona is eternally popular because the city has a panache all its own. Though there is plenty to keep travelers in the city, suggested side-trips to various mountains, beaches, and vineyards are also included.
