Barcelona

This city in the Northeast of Spain, tucked between mountains and sea, is defined by grand sweeping turns between logical good judgement and wild, carefree abandon.

The capital of Catalonia.

Overview

Barcelona is a city filled with tourists, sure, but it remains a surprising cultural, culinary and historical goldmine better enjoyed if you know how to look beyond the crowds. In this Cerca guide to the pearl of the Mediterranean, Neil Innes and Andrés Bartos tell you all about a strange, historic, and culturally bonkers Barcelona that's all too easy to miss.

The Cerca Guide to Barcelona Guide

The Barcelona story is defined by the phrase "Seny i Rouxa", common sense paired with wild imagination. A city of contrasts and beautiful impulse.
