WELCOME TO BARCELONA, SPAIN

Lively. Innovative. Enchanting. Diverse. All these words describe Barcelona and its rich culture. The city is a feast for the senses. See the legendary works of Antonio Gaudí, Pablo Picasso, and Joan Miró. Explore the narrow, twisting alleys of the Gothic Quarter. Smell the fresh fruits, meats, and cheeses at La Boqueria. Stroll along miles of coastline packed with bars, restaurants, and beach volleyball. Take in a soccer game at the world-famous Camp Nou stadium. This—and so much more—awaits you in Barcelona.

Excited? We are too. Get ready for the experience of a lifetime.
