Visit Barcelona

The Mediterranean city of Barcelona is sandwiched between mountains and sea, and offers both a small-town feel and a big-city metropolitan pulse. The 1.6 million inhabitants work hard and enjoy life just as intensely. During all stages of its own history, the city has been at the center of events, and continues to do so even today as an internationally loved tourist paradise.

Barcelona is known for artistic masterpieces such as the Sagrada Família and Park Güell, as well as its many beaches, the Camp Nou football stadium and lush parks. What exactly you should do in Barcelona depends on your interests

Barcelona is also known for having hosted the 1992 Summer Olympics, something that was very important for the city. In connection with its hosting of the Olympic Games, the management of the city began to refurbish some worn-out areas, the infrastructure was improved in several places and, in general, the standard of living rose significantly. All this contributed to Barcelona investing more money in tourism, and this made Barcelona one of the most visited cities in Europe, on a par with Paris, Madrid, London and the like.

Torre del Mar
The view from Torre del Mar, located between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains of the Sierra Nevada, is impressive. Unlike other parts of the Costa del Sol, Torre del Mar has largely managed to preserve the authentic Spanish atmosphere, despite the increase in tourism. The long promenade is lined with clubs, excellent fish restaurants and cafes. In addition, the wide sandy beach is simply fantastic. The city has good connections by tram to the beautiful and charming Velez-Malaga, which is well worth a visit.
