The Catalan town of Salou is famous throughout the world as a magnificent seaside resort. There are several swimming areas, and all of them are clean, comfortable, with good infrastructure. The city beach is usually very crowded during the season: not only the Spanish come here, but also tourists from all over the world. There are much fewer people on other beaches.

The oldest and perhaps the busiest beach in Barcelona. It is suitable for families with children, single tourists or cheerful companies. There is enough space for everyone on the coastal strip about 90 meters wide. The water at Barceloneta is warm, and the coastal strip is clean and tidy. In addition, the smooth descent into the water is convenient for children, elderly people and tourists with limited mobility.

In the 1960s, the city of Barcelona began to gradually renovate the houses of the city's 15th and 16th century merchants on Carrer de Montcada, and one of them was turned into a Picasso museum. The house is a brilliant example of medieval architecture. The museum was created to house the huge number of EARLIEST paintings, many of which were painted in this city, donated by Picasso himself.

Two architectural masterpieces by Gaudi, located on either side of Passeig de Gracia. They are outstanding examples of modernist architecture from the early 20th century. Casa Batlló was built in 1906. The building looks like a fantasy world, full of symbols and details inspired by nature. The interior of Casa Batlló continues the theme of nature. The wall is decorated with flowing lines, ornaments and ceilings in the shape of sea shells.

The Poble Espanyol is a time machine, because once you find yourself there, it is hard to believe that you are in the middle of Barcelona of the 21st century. Old houses, workshops of shoemakers, glassblowers and jewelers are adjacent to a colorful market, a theater, a museum, establishments with traditional Spanish dishes and a square where you can often see folk dancers and singers.

The name speaks for itself, because millions of years ago there was a sea on the territory of Catalonia, which eventually dried up, and the bottom formed a mountain range. On the mountain top, surrounded by picturesque nature, there is a monastery of the same name. Here is kept the unique statue of the "Black Virgin of Montserrat", which is revered by Catholics all over the world.

Among the attractions, one can note the Gaudi House Museum, the "Hall of a Hundred Columns" (in fact, there are 86 of them), the grand staircase with fountains and, of course, the famous Gaudi bench, curved in the shape of a snake. However, it was not the bizarre shape that made this bench famous, but its length - 302 meters, which was a record for some time.

The Gothic Quarter is the heart of Barcelona's historic district and one of the most photogenic locations in the Spanish city. Centuries later, medieval buildings dating back to the heyday of the Kingdom of Aragon have been perfectly preserved here. As you travel from one architectural monument to another, you will pass through narrow streets that are almost completely devoid of sunlight, where the medieval charm is especially strong.

Sagrada Familia is one of Gaudi's most famous works in Barcelona. It is a gigantic basilica that has been under construction since 1882 and is not expected to be completed anytime soon. When you visit the building, you will notice the contrast in stone color between the front and back of the building. The interior combines natural forms with intricate details, reflecting Gaudi's vision of a divine and harmonious space.
