<p>Cemetery of Vilanova i la Geltrú  </p>

Unlike in the rest of Europe, visiting cemeteries is not a typical tourist activity in the regions of Barcelona. That’s a shame, because Catalan cemeteries are home to some incredible tombs, family vaults and mausoleums. You’re not convinced? Just plan a morning visit - you’ll be surprised by the rich artistic, historical, cultural and social heritage of these authentic open-air museums.

<p>Olèrdola</p>

Before the Romans disembarked on the coast of what we know today as Catalonia, the peoples generally referred to as the Iberians occupied the length and breadth of the area between the 6th and 1st centuries BC. They often built hilltop settlements, some of which have survived to the present day. Come and explore 4 Iberian settlements that have been turned into museum facilities. The regions of Barcelona were home to different tribes and each of these sites is devoted to one of them.

When the warm weather arrives, new colours are added to the palette of the regions of Barcelona's gastronomic landscape. The ochres, browns and blacks of winter dishes give way to more vivid colours, with green taking on a leading role. Greet spring with some of the healthiest and most nutritious foods in the Mediterranean diet.
