巴塞羅那是西班牙第二大的城市，僅次於首都馬德里。巴塞羅那處處透露著歷史氣息。城市由迦太基人建立，根據古傳統，城市的名字由古迦太基的巴塞家族派生出來。在經過數不清的征服者，包括羅馬人和摩爾人對這個城市的掠奪後，阿拉貢人建立了繁榮富強的加塞羅尼亞，定都於巴塞羅那。二十世紀七十年代以來，這個城市重新宣告了它的加塞羅背景。但是直到1992年舉辦夏季奧運會以後，巴塞羅那才成為現在這樣的現代化的，有活力的城市。隨著城市的日漸繁榮，豪華，大型的酒店不斷出現。第一家雷文卡拉斯酒店是由西班牙國王和王后主持揭幕的。該酒店位於城北主要大學附近。由胡塞·路易斯·托爾斯經營。
安東尼·高迪以卡爾維特和米拉之家等建築物，塑造了巴塞羅那無以倫比的形象。他還建造了神奇的奎爾公園。安東尼·高迪在1926年逝世，未完成的大教堂是他的墓誌銘。?
巴塞羅那有什麼吸引人的地方？
它有很多不同的引人之處：文化，休閒，紀念碑，建築，還有烹調。巴塞羅那有商業區，長五公里的購物區繞著大海直到北部。走在大街上，你可以一邊購物一邊探店。你可以看看建築，紀念碑，博物館，飯店，既能購物又有玩的享受。
米羅是時尚界中享有盛譽的一個品牌。這些鞋子和衣服的設計流行趨勢來自巴塞羅那。該地區還生產其他國際知名品牌的產品。比如法國的名牌Lacose。
不到諾坎譜就不算到過巴塞羅那。諾坎譜是西班牙最好的球隊之一——巴塞羅那隊的主場。巴塞羅那隊與另外一支西班牙球隊——皇家馬德里隊，歐洲最頂級的球隊之一——同時成立於1899年。有馬拉多納和羅納爾多作為球員，這兩支球隊勇創佳績。在歐洲足球史上。巴塞羅那隊拿的獎牌比任何一支球隊都多。諾坎譜球場可以容納11萬2千人，是觀看和踢漂亮的球賽的最好場地之一。
