Publisher's Synopsis
Barcelona has it all: iconic architecture, a charming old town, vibrant modernity, enough art culture for a lifetime - all lying next to the glistening sea. For all these reasons and more, it's one of the most visited and loved cities in Europe. This guide to the city covers everything from restaurants and boutiques to galleries and parks, and is illustrated with 50 of Cierra Block's distinctive, stunning maps. Each map starts with an idea - Where's the best tapas in Barcelona? How should I see some of Gaudí iconic buildings? Where can you lose hours people-watching? What follows is a carefully curated list of the very best places to visit, from Grcia to the Gothic Quarte, El Raval to El Born, accompanied by a unique painted map.
