Barcelona is one of the few great European cities by the sea. While Madrid withers in the summer sun, Barcelona chills out on its beach. Its main thoroughfare, Las Ramblas, runs all the way from the quayside through the heart of the city and it is here that you should start your tour of one of Europe's most exciting cities.
You particularly don't want to miss the fabulous architecture of Gaudí, Barcelona's favourite son. His work litters the city, but his greatest monument is the Sagrada Familia - an unfinished cathedral that looks like something between a vast Gothic church and a space ship from a sci-fi movie. Other Gaudí highlights include La Pedrera - a brilliantly weird converted terrace block in the heart of the city - and le Parc Guell, a surreal haven on a hill high above the bustle of the city. The Gothic Quarter and Montjuic are also well worth exploring, with ancient and ornate architecture everywhere you look. Amidst all this stands Barcelona's other cathedral, the imposing edifice of La Seu.GalaHotels offer cheap accomodation at all Barcelona Hotels.
