Filled up with the spirit of the region, the town smells of Mediterranean cuisine and sea. The complex multi-layer architecture produces the illusion that Barcelona is present concurrently in several epochs.

The labyrinth of streets discloses mysteries of the city, helping to make you adore Barcelona from the first sight and inhale its atmosphere. At the territory of Barcelona, appears like several cities coexist and this impression is made through the contrasts relating to the various neighborhoods.
