subject: Your Barcelona Accommodation For A Long Weekend Break [print this page] For reasons that will become clear, you have booked your BARCELONA ACCOMMODATION for a long weekend break and not your usual two weeks. It could be important domestic commitments: not enough time off work allowing for a long holiday or it could be lack of funds due to the present economical climate. Whatever the reason, you are going to have just as much fun if you schedule only the important items to visit on a weekend break. There are some people out there who have the money but like to visit a number of places throughout the year without taking a long break due to business commitments.
Barcelona is proving to be a place where you can have the most fun in a short period of time when compared to any other seaside resort. This city is one of fashion and modern in its conception with deep rooted culture from centuries of different ruling civilizations. Its cosmopolitan atmosphere and forward thinking will make anyone welcome whether its for a weekend, two weeks or a lifetime.
Barcelona is a city that captures the imagination of great artists and sculptors who use their influence to change the surrounding countryside, creating an aspect more enticing than another city. Proof of this lies in the citys museums, such as the ones dedicated to Picasso and Antoni Tapies, where you could spend not a weekend but a lifetime in understanding what they were trying to convey in their works. The city itself presents a canvas created over hundreds of years from La Ramblas in the old part to the Place Catalunya. When you venture into the old quarter of Barri Gothic, the warren of narrow streets lined with ancient buildings and delightfully ancient squares will hold your attention, thereby creating a special moment in time. All that is left to do now is find an alfresco cafe and contemplate what you have seen and how it has changed over the centuries.
The one person we should not leave out on our journey of discovery during this weekend break is the masterful architect Antoni Gaudi himself. His works are scattered throughout the city which is fortunate to have had him and his acclaimed buildings. His main contribution to the art of building has to be the Sagrada Familia, the most famous structure in all of Catalonia. This is without a doubt the most famous cathedral you will ever see in your or anyone elses lifetime.
Now that you have acquired your BARCELONA ACCOMMODATION you are ready to embark on a weekend journey, remember its not necessary to take a lot of cash with you. There is a lot of interesting destinations allowing you to experience the thrill of a new culture for noting but a little of your time. More importantly this a time to commune with new people while understanding their way of life. You can escape your mundane day to day boring life and find one that will allow you to take part in something more enjoyable. This would be outside the realm of possibility if you were back home but you get to do this several times a year there by creating a basis for a new friendship.
