Why should I visit Barcelona?

Barcelona really does have everything – from fine art museums to designer shopping and the beach right on your doorstep. Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia (Catalunya), one of the most proud and rich cultures in Europe, so there’s lots to explore. Your time in Barcelona should be spent discovering the distinct neighbourhoods, admiring the historic architecture, and eating and drinking your way around the city.

Barcelona is a real foodie destination. As well as paella and fresh seafood, tapas are one of the most popular dishes. Small in size but full of flavour, tapas offer diners the chance to explore countless dishes without becoming too full. A particular tapas dish you must try in Barcelona is a ‘bomba’ – a tennis ball-sized potato croquette served with a white garlic aioli and a rich and spicy red sauce. The bomba represents bombs in the Spanish Civil War and are an important part of Catalan’s history.
