Steeped in history and culture, unique architecture, and miles of golden sandy beaches…welcome to Barcelona.

Barcelona is in the north east corner of Spain. Five hundred kilometres of coastline stretch past the three main cities of Gerona in the Costa Brava, the Catalan capital Barcelona and Tarragona in the Costa Dorada. Restaurant menus are printed in two languages: Catalan (indicated by its red and yellow horizontal striped national flag) and Spanish.

Catalans are proud, industrious and resourceful people. Their national flag fly from rooftops in nearly every nearby village or town. Barcelona is Spain’s wealthiest city and an estimated 30% of the best restaurants in all of Spain can be found here. It’s said that the Catalan people enjoy some of the highest standards of living in Europe. The locals will even try to convince you that they have Europe's best football team: FC Barcelona (but Real Madrid may have something to say about that!).
