Get to Know Barcelona<br />

Barcelona is the capital and largest city of Catalonia and <strong>Spain</strong>'s second largest city, with a population of over<br />

one and half million people (over five million in the whole province). This city, located directly on the<br />

northeastern Mediterranean coast of <strong>Spain</strong>, has a rich history, having been under Roman, then Frank law before<br />

declaring its independence.<br />

In 1992, Barcelona gained international recognition<br />

by hosting the Olympic games which brought a<br />

massive upturn in its tourism industry. This had the<br />

effect of changing the city in ways that are still felt<br />

today with neighbourhoods renovated (and in some<br />

cases leveled) and the intense focus of modern<br />

design permeating all aspects of life in Barcelona<br />

from public buildings to something as simple as a<br />

park bench or an event poster.One of the most<br />

famous and breathtaking locations to visit in<br />

Barcelona the most famous building in the entire city<br />

and its landmark, La Sagrada Familia. Although<br />

incomplete, the church is a UNESCO World Heritage<br />

Site, and in November 2010 was consecrated.<br />
