Barcelona is sea. It’s mountains. It’s urban. It’s rural. It’s wine tourism. It’s gastronomy. It’s sport. It’s history. It’s art. It’s culture. It’s architecture. It’s many things at the same time. So many that it has more than 300 municipalities and 12 regions to explore.

What to see

The Gaudí Crypt, a World Heritage Site

In 2005, seven buildings designed by Antoni Gaudí were inscribed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Six of them are extremely well known: the Sagrada Família, La Pedrera, Casa Vicens, Parc Güell, Palau Güell and Casa Batlló. However, the seventh architectural gem in the list, the Crypt of the Colònia Güell, is much less famous. It’s an architectural masterpiece in which the author of impossible works tested his considerable intellect.

Monastery of Sant Cugat

The Royal Monastery of Sant Cugat is a Romanesque jewel that’s highly appreciated by enthusiasts of mediaeval architecture, who single out its magnificent cloister for special praise. Nevertheless, this monastery largely remains an undiscovered treasure, so here’s a list of six curiosities, just to give you a taste of all the surprises that await you in this amazing monastic complex!

Impregnable Cardona

For over five hundred years, a walled keep protected the riches of Cardona. But nowadays, this beautiful town throws the doors to its old town wide open and unveils all the secrets of its impregnable castle. Do you fancy a visit to the last Catalan stronghold to fall in the War of the Spanish Succession in 1714?
