Food To Try
Savour The Diverse Cultural Experiences Of Soulful Barcelona

Between the crisp sangrias and beautiful beaches, Barcelona is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Spain. However, despite being a part of the nation, the city gives off a different vibe compared to the rest of Spain. This makes visiting Barcelona a unique experience even for the most experienced traveller in Spain. Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, a region in the northeastern part of Spain bordering France. When in Barcelona, you will realise that most local information guides and signposts contain three languages: English, Spanish and Catalan, which is mostly spoken amongst the locals. Due to its history, Catalan would first appear to be a mix of Spanish and French, but is actually not quite any of the two. This perfectly captures the essence of the city. From its architecture, its food culture and even the overall ambience of the city (which feels like a movie set at times), Barcelona is a metropolitan mix of different cultures but still unique in its own way.
