Barcelona is now one of Europe's must-see cities - and it's not a place to visit just once. This guide reveals, in words and hundreds of pictures and maps, the huge range of its attractions, from Gaudi's mind-boggling buildings to the Gothic Quarter, and from the Ramblas to the beaches right in the city. At the end of the day, you'll find restaurants with great seafood, and some of Europe's best bars and clubs. And if you need a break from all the urban excitement, the monasteries, vineyards, beaches, ski resorts and national parks of Catalonia are not far away - and are described in this guide as well.
