Barcelona is the
cultural heartland of Spain, yet its first language is Catalan, the native
tongue of the proudly independent Catalonia region. Stroll down the tree-lined
Ramblas between street musicians and elegant bistros, visit the venerable Gothic
cathedral, or enjoy the architectural genius of Antonio Gaudí's Church of the
Holy Family. Barcelona also has a Picasso museum that contains many of the
artist's early works, a museum featuring the works of Juan Miro, the Olympic
stadium, and many beautiful neighborhoods, as well as the Olympic Seaport. with
shops and restaurants on the piers. |
