The Experience >> About Barcelona

Barcelona is probably Spain’s most fêted city, well known for the art nouveau designs of Antonio Gaudí and the outstanding Sagrada Familia church (abandoned in 1962 but work now resumed) as well as for being at the forefront of contemporary art and architecture hosting a plethora of art galleries and museums.

In the 11th and 12th centuries religious pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela travelled through Barcelona bringing French building styles with them and between 1890 and 1910 an art nouveau movement was born. 

Stroll along Las Ramblas then around the meandering streets of the gothic quarter and take the train to nearby seaside resort, Sitges, a stylish and cosmopolitan town popular with young trend setters.
