Description

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 this book in your hands, it can. The second largest city of Spain and the capital of autonomous Catalonia is also Europe's biggest metropolis on the Mediterranean coast. 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 Museum of Modern Art, Montjuic park and the Placa Catalunya, the Gothic Quarter and Gaudi's Sagrada Familia, a church that has been under construction since 1882. Come and walk in Park Gu ell, meet Miro 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!
