By: Kail Ranstat Barcelona and Catalonia are one of Spain’s most dynamic and productive regions. It is a popular tourist destination particularly for European residents from England, France and Germany. Tourists are not only attracted to the extensive coastline with its beautiful beaches and idilic weather. Catalonia is home to many World Heritage Sites, notably many works of Antonio Gaudi that can be found throughout Catalonia, particularly in Barcelona. Gaudi’s most famous work, The Sagrada Familia, is a monument to his genius and still a work of art in the making. A magnificent cathedral, it towers above the skyline of Barcelona. Originally controversial in nature, it has become more so as modern day architects add their own vision to Gaudi’s. Like it or love it, it is a must-visit amoungst Barcelona’s many attractions. The Ramblas is barcelona’s famous thoroughfare, bristling with life, energy and a little magic, it teems with tourists all year round. Traditionally a place to buy flowers or birds it is now, more than ever, a tourist haven where bustlers and street artists vie for tourist dollars. Other World Heritage sites in Catalonia include the Roman archeological remains in Tarragona, the Palau de la Musica en Barcelona and the Poblet monastery. The Catalan culture is truly unique and fascinating. Wonderful mediterranean- Catalan traditional dances (Sardanas) are like few others and an interesting watch, the music being somewhat nostalgic. The famous castellers (Human towers) are spectacular and will leave you breathless. You should not visit Barcelona and Catalonia without the pleasure of viewing a live Casteller performance! End
