Discover Barcelona

Mediterranean

The Mediterranean is one of Barcelona's great attractions. Its beaches, the promenade and the leisure spaces by the sea allow you to enjoy a Mediterranean environment without giving up the professional and academic possibilities of a large city.

A world-renowned city

Barcelona has an exceptional heritage that combines history, architecture and creativity. The works of Antoni Gaudí, the Gothic Quarter, Catalan modernism and numerous cultural spaces are part of the identity of a city with a strong international projection.

City, mountain and nature

The province offers much more than its urban environment. The coastline, natural spaces and mountain areas allow you to enjoy outdoor activities and discover very different landscapes just a few kilometres from Barcelona.

A gastronomy with identity

Barcelona brings together Catalan gastronomic tradition with influences from all over the world. Markets, restaurants, Mediterranean cuisine and local products are part of a particularly diverse and international gastronomic offer.
