| The
One Thing You Don't Want to Miss |
 |
| While you're in Barcelona, don't miss the Picasso
Gallery. Several adjoining 15th-century palaces house a huge
collection (over 2,000 pieces) of Picasso's work. |
| Other
Fun Things to Do |
|
 |
Stroll along Las Ramblas, a wonderfully vibrant part of
the city where street vendors and performers vie for your
attention. |
|
Explore the many churches and cathedrals of Barcelona and
discover the city's modernist architecture along Paseo de
Gracia. |
|
Visit Antoni Gaudí's unfinished Segrada Familia. With
eight soaring spires and a spectacular main façade, this
cathedral is a true architectural masterpiece. |
|
| Get
a Taste of Local Flavor |
|
| Don't miss paella, the Spanish national dish. It's a
delicious combination of seafood, chicken and vegetables mixed
together with saffron-colored rice. |
| Local
Currency |
|
| The Euro (EUR), the currency of the European Union,
is the official currency of Spain. Many stores and restaurants also
accept major credit cards, which usually offer you a good exchange
rate. When shopping, remember there is a Value-Added Tax added to
most purchases. |
