October 2009 - Land of the Catalans (Part 1)

Barcelona is Spain's second largest city, with a population of 1.5 million people, and the capital of Catalonia. The city is on the Mediterranean coast, and has a wealth of unique historic architecture. Barcelona emerged as one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe during the 1990s.

But first off...Camp Nou!!!

The Stadium itself!!!


The pressroom

Afterwards, I went to the city centre, it's a beautiful city, full of markets, shops, museums and churches, and great for walking around. There’s an area called “La Rambla” where people like walking. It’s a favorite tourist attraction because there are flower sellers, street performers, paintings and restaurants. 
So this is the famous La Ramblas...

This is the food market to check out, they sells all kinds of food and drinks...

The centre square

The Catalans Arc of Triumph
 
Up next the Cathedral of Barcelona and Sagrada Familia with other works of Gaudi.
