Barcelona Spain
The historic city of Barcelona is a lovely city to explore with something for everyone: museums and galleries, historic
monuments, amusement parks, designer bars, local festivals, green areas and over four kilometres of beaches.
The works of the famous modernist architect, Gaudí, have helped create the unique style of Barcelona, where the new
is welcomed and the old is respected.
The cosmopolitan nature of the city centre probably makes it more suitable for older students and we recommend that younger groups stay on the Costa Brava or Costa Dorada and visit Barcelona by day.
