Barcelona is one of the most important cities in Spain, after Madrid. It has 1,600,000 inhabitants, is the second most populous Spanish city.
Barcelona has been the scene of several global events, which have helped shape the city and give him international renown. The most significant has been the Universal Exhibition of 1888 and 1929, and the Summer Olympics in 1992.
Barcelona has a Mediterranean climate humid, with summer drought and quite abundant rainfall the rest of the year. Temperatures are warmer in summer and mild in winter, with little daily thermal oscillation, this climate attracts many tourists from around the world.
Barcelona offers visitors the opportunity to travel on foot from the Roman ruins and medieval town until the neighborhoods of the Catalan modernism, with its distinctive buildings, its square edges striped apples, its tree-lined streets and broad avenues. The ancient city was virtually flat, while the new neighborhoods, as we come closer to the coast mountains, they gain more pending.
