Meet Barcelona

These amazing gardens at the foot of Montjuïc, facing the sea and with a microclimate all of their own, have over 800 cacti and succulent plants on display.

This building represents the artistic splendour of Gaudí, the Modernista fantasy par excellence that is distinguished by its roof in the shape of a dragon's back and a spectacular mosaic facade.

Set up as a cultural centre in 1998, the Nau Ivanow is a leader in the creation, production and diffusion of performing arts.

Tucked away in Nou Barris, with a sanctuary and two country houses, this is a fragment of history that invites you to take a fascinating journey to the place where the district originated.

This is the liveliest beach in Barcelona, a popular meeting point for Sant Martí residents, children, students, foreigners and naturists.

The underground air-raid shelter built by local residents during the Spanish Civil War can be visited via guided tours.

The Torre Agbar and Disseny Hub Barcelona, two of the city's most modern buildings, watch over a web of streets, a legendary old market and a true people's neighbourhood.

The large green zone in La Sagrera is the Parc de la Pegaso, land previously dedicated to factory use and reconverted, thanks to local residents, into gardens full of lush vegetation.

The earliest records of this Romanesque hermitage in the Collserola Natural Park date back to the 9th century.

The Canòdrom, has been given a new lease of life: it is now a meeting point where creative minds and business people aim to turn ideas into businesses and services.

Crossing  the Collserola mountain range from one end to the other, Passeig de les Aigües is both a magnificent green trail and a privileged viewing point. 

Formerly a village separate from the city, the Horta neighbourhood preserves its splendid old quarter, made up of little squares and small streets, where life still goes on at a village pace.
