The Most Cosmopolitan City In Spain - Barcelona

Although the largest and capital city in Spain is Madrid

, the accolade of the most cosmopolitan city definitely belongs to Barcelona, one of Mediterranean's busiest ports due to its favorable location. Barcelona seems to give people the impression that this is a city which is all about romance and pleasure, and this is a city full of hedonism which means that the most important thing in life is to enjoy yourself. As a matter of fact, Barcelona has another realistic face as well. It did not let the glorious history stop their steps towards modernization. Nowadays, Barcelona has been a city where hi-tech and biomedical business thrives.

The city of Barcelona is situated on the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, therefore, it is endowed a Mediterranean climate which is characterized with warm summers and mild winters. The best time to visit, as you may expect is spring or early summer when the temperature is around 20C. Later in summer, the temperature could be as high as 30C which is a little bit undesirable and you will find that it is also the peak tourism time when Barcelona will become highly crowd.

Top 10 sights of Barcelona

1.La Sagrada Famlia

This is the most popular destination for tourists in Spain; however, it is estimated to be completed at least 2026. Maybe last year you have visited La Sagrada Famlia, but this year when you go to visit it again, its going to be different. In fact, it is going to be slightly different year by year.

La Sagrada Famlia is actually a privately-fund Roman Catholic Church. Its dizzy height, vast scale and stunning design have attracted a large number of visitors here besides the dedicated followers.

2.La Rambla

Between Barri Gotic and EL Raval, there is a 1.2 kilometer long street decorated by trees along the both sides. It is actually made up of different short streets which bear different names. A Sapnish poet once said that La Rambla was "the only street in the world which I wish would never end". When it is tourism season, this street can be fully occupied by tourists who want to enjoy bizarre performances varying from flamenco dance to fire-eating and maybe just sitting in a caf to observe this living flourishing picture.

3.Museu Nacional dart de Catalunya (MNAC)

The National Art Museum of Catalonia was born during the 1929 Worlds Fair. It is a museum displaying Catalan visual art, which is located on the Montjuc hill at the end of Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina.
