Venue 2010
Barcelona is the capital of Catalunya, a region of Northern Spain that
has its own unique culture, traditions and personality. Few European
cities can offer you the wide diversity of cultural experience that
you'll find here in Barcelona. Couple that with the luxury of 4.2 km of
beach only a short walk from the city centre, warm sunshine most of the
year, you have all the makings of a great holiday in Spain.
Many great painters and artists worked here at some time and their
influence is still evident throughout the city. Two of which are Picasso
and Miró who have museums dedicated to some of their more important
works. There are also dozens of other museums and art galleries dotted
all around the city so you'll always have plenty of art to experience
whilst here.
Barcelona is home to masterpieces of many great architects. The most
famous of which is Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi's work is admired by architects
around the World as being one of the most unique and distinctive styles
in modern architecture.
One of his most well know works, La Sagrada Familia, is a giant temple.
