What's on in Barcelona?

Top 4 'What's On' in the area.

Castillo de Santa Bárbara
Like many other cities on the Mediterranean, Barcelona was founded by the Romans. The original settlement, called Barcino, was a small port located on the same spot as today´s cathedral. The town was overshadowed by Tarragona, the capital of the province. Both the Visigoths and the Moors invaded Barcelona. However their influence was not as important to the future of the city as the arrival of the Franks in the late 9th century. It was at that point that Barcelona and Catalonia started shaping their own identity, different from the rest of Spain. This is most apparent in the language. Spanish, or Castilian, has many Arab words, while Catalan has many French words instead. So Catalan is not a Spanish dialect, but a language in its own right, related to other Romance languages. Barcelona’s history is seen everywhere in the city. The oldest areas are by the sea, including the shopping enclave Barri Gòtic. On the other side of the main boulevard, La Rambla is the legendary Raval district. Until the 1980s this was the slum area, home to the city’s own Chinatown (Barrio Chino) and the red light district. Today designer shops and cafes have moved in. Further north is the fashionable Eixample, the area created as a result of the 19th century expansion of the city. The very long, and straight, streets are broken up by tiny diagonal squares at the intersections, called xamfrà.
Sagrada Famìlia
The craziest building site in the world. Gaudi’s genius, and the fact that the cathedral will never be completed, make it even more astonishing.
Nou Camp
FC Barcelona is much more than just a football club. Sometimes it feels as if it carries the whole nation’s pride on its shoulders. Even those not interested in football will enjoy a visit. One reason is the large number of well-dressed spectators, another the masterful architecture of the arena.
Espai Gaudí – La Pedrera
If you don’t have time to visit all of Gaudi’s landmarks, be sure to see this one. Visit the Gaudi museum on the top floor and, if possible, stay to have a drink on the roof terrace. The decorations here must have inspired George Lucas and his Star Wars movies.
