A favourite amongst travellers
Barcelona is a popular tourist destination offering historical landmarks, unconventional architecture, tantalising tapas and plenty of dynamic clubs. Plaça de Catalunya is Barcelona’s main city plaza and is a gateway to many of Barcelona’s key tourist attractions. Visiting a Flamenco show is a terrific way to experience the heritage and enthusiasm of this vibrant city and towards the end of September each year, Barcelona holds a huge street festival called La Mercè.
