Barcelona is the rare major city with a beach in walking distance of a Gothic quarter. Gaudí’s work defines its skyline — the Sagrada Família, Park Güell and Casa Batlló are unlike anything else in Europe.
The Eixample grid makes the modern city easy to navigate, and the Catalan food scene stands apart from the rest of Spain. Montserrat and the Costa Brava are both short trips out.
