I've just spent 4 days in Barcelona with my friend Carol. I've been to Spain before, but this is the first time I've visited Barcelona and can really recommend it. It's a lovely city located on the coast. There's plenty to see and do and even in January the climate is very pleasant - quite a bit warmer and drier than the UK! Here are a couple of photos of the central city area:
The city is home to a number of buildings designed by the 'Modernista' architect, Gaudi, like the Casa Batllo
and the Sagrada Familia church, still unfinished after over 100 years
I also appreciated the local work with mosaics (this well-known dragon is located in Park Güell)
