BARCELONA

Catalonia, a Mediterranean soul immersed in a vibrant modern spirit, continues to be the avant-garde region of Spain. Although completely rooted in its land and traditions, Barcelona is, never the less, in constant search of the newest and most modern.

Barcelona is an excellent starting point for art exploration with, for example, a day trip to experience the works of the incredible Surrealist artist and performer, Salvador Dali.  There is, of course, much art to be discovered right in Barcelona, such as Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia, a world-renowned example of the best Art Nouveau in Spain. 
 
The scope of gastronomy in Barcelona continually expands. From the old Ferran Adria’s El Bulli to the classic Celler de Can Roca, no discussion about Michelin stars is complete without a visit to these restaurants.

Barcelona is one of the most important destinations in Europe and the #1 cruise port of the continent. Here one can easily combine the best of urban and beach experiences.
