Welcome to Barcelona
Fanciful architecture and hip restaurants have come together
with the sunny southern Spanish climate and beaches to transform
Barcelona in just a few decades from rough port city to one of
Europe’s – if not the world’s – premier destinations.
the city | do & see
The city
Like many other cities on the Mediterranean, Barcelona was
founded by the Romans. The original settlement, called Barcino,
was a small port located on the same spot as today´s cathedral.
The town was overshadowed by Tarragona, the capital of the
province. Both the Visigoths and the Moors invaded Barcelona.
However their influence was not as important to the future of
the city as the arrival of the Franks in the late 9th century.
It was at that point that Barcelona and Catalonia started
shaping their own identity, different from the rest of Spain.
This is most apparent in the language. Spanish, or Castilian,
has many Arab words, while Catalan has many French words
instead. So Catalan is not a Spanish dialect, but a language in
its own right, related to other Romance languages. Barcelona’s
history is seen everywhere in the city. The oldest areas are by
the sea, including the shopping enclave Barri Gotic. On the
other side of the main boulevard, La Rambla is the legendary
Raval district. Until the 1980s this was the slum area, home to
the city’s own Chinatown (Barrio Chino) and the red light
district. Today designer shops and cafes have moved in. Further
north is fashionable Eixample, the area created as a result of
the 19th century expansion of the city. The very long, and
straight, streets are broken up by tiny diagonal squares at the
intersections, called, xamfrà.
do & see
Much of the attraction of Barcelona is the city’s wide range of
sights. The architect, the design nerd, the football fan, the
art historian, the city planner – there is something for all of
them in the most self-assured city on the Mediterranean.
Sagrada Famìlia
The craziest building site in the world. Gaudi’s genius, and the
fact that the cathedral will never be completed, make it even
more astonishing.
Address: Mallorca 401
Nou Camp
FC Barcelona is much more than just a football club. Sometimes
it feels as if it carries the whole nation’s pride on its
shoulders. Even those not interested in football will enjoy a
visit. One reason is the large number of well-dressed
spectators, another the masterful architecture of the arena.
Address: Avenida Aristides Maillol
Espai Gaudí – La Pedrera
If you don’t have time to visit all of Gaudi’s landmarks, be
sure to see this one. Visit the Gaudi museum on the top floor
and, if possible, stay to have a drink on the roof terrace. The
decorations here must have inspired George Lucas and his Star
Wars movies.
Address: Passeig de Gràcia 92
MACBA
Leave the busy streets behind you for a moment by visiting
Barcelona’s museum of modern art. MACBA is short for Museu d´Art
Contemporani de Barcelona.
Address: Placa dels Angels
Palau de la Música Catalana
Not quite as wacky as some of Gaudi’s architecture but this
sublime concert hall designed by Domènech i Montaner a hundred
years ago is actually more representative of Modernism. The
Palace of Catalan Music not only pays tribute to the musical
heritage of the Catalans but to all music – as well as beauty,
colour and joy.
Admission: €7
Address: C/Sant Francesc de Paula 2
Metro: Urquinaona
Tel: +34 932 957 200
www.palaumusica.org
Santa Maria del Mar
Barcelona’s most beautiful church is probably the best existing
example of the Catalonian Gothic, with a cleaner style than
normally associated with Gothic architecture. The church has a
wonderful feeling of spaciousness and the weightlessness is
emphasised by the slender pillars and the very sparsely
decorated chapels.
Address: Plaça Santa Maria 1
Metro: Jaume I
Parc de Collserola
The green part of the city. Immediately behind Barcelona there
is an 8,000-hectare park – 22 times larger than New York’s
Central Park, as those in charge like to point out. It includes
everything from amusement parks to luxury hotels but, above all,
large undisturbed areas in which to ramble or cycle.
The actual park can only be reached using the regional train
service from Catalunya Station: take the train to Terrassa or
Sabadell and get off at Baixador de Vallvidrera. From there the
park’s information centre, Centre d’Informació, is within
walking distance.
Address: C/l’Església

www.parccollserola.net
Museu Marítim
Accommodated within the enormous 14th century Royal Naval Yard –
the world’s largest preserved shipyard from the Middle Ages – is
Barcelona’s interesting and child-friendly Maritime Museum.
Among the Gothic arches, there is a full-scale model of a galley
that took part in the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. There is also
an abundance of video projections and virtual ocean experiences
and a very good restaurant, La Llotja.

Event highlights
JANUARY 2007
Twelfth Night Procession
5 Jan
The Cabalgata los Reyes Magos is a popular tradition in Spain
and Latin America. The event is celebrated in different ways,
depending on where you are, and Barcelona has chosen to
celebrate at sea. Crowds gather at the harbour steps of the Moll
de Fusta to witness the arrival of the three Wise Men. A
procession, led by the Mayor and Metropolitan guard, heads down
the city centre, past the city’s major monuments and culminating
at the fountain of Montuic.

stalls. On Saturday the celebrations come to a climax with the
Gran Rua de Carnaval, a parade of carriages and carnival groups.
www.carnaval.com
MARCH
Fiesta de San Medir
3 March
Held in the district of Gracia, some 30 neighbourhood groups
take part in a parade of decorated carriages, horses, flags and
costumes. The parade originates in the 16th century as a
pilgrimage in honour of Santo Emeterio, the patron saint of
broad beans. At 8pm the masses gather on Calle Grande de Gracia
to collect sweets that are being thrown from all the carriages
and into the crowd. The whole events ends in a colourful
fireworks display.
Barcelona Guitar festival
22 March -7 June (tbc)
The annual guitar festival features a programme of concerts at
venues throughout the city from March until June. The 2006
festival included performances by American songwriter-guitarist
Jackson Browne, flamenco songwriter-guitarist José Mercé,
virtuoso Alan Holdsworth and the Scott Henderson Blues Band
among others. For detailed information, please visit the
website.

Eating
EatingIt is easiest to divide Barcelona’s overwhelming range of
restaurants into two parts: the new and the old. Some of the
world’s most modern restaurants, managed by the world’s most
innovative chefs (the most famous is Ferrán Adrià) can be found
here. But there is also traditional Catalonian cuisine which
despite being heavy on occasion, includes very good vegetable
dishes (samfaina, a kind of ratatouille, escalivada, grilled,
peeled peppers, aubergines and onions; espinacs a la catalan,
spinach fried with garlic, pine nuts and raisins). Best known is
the simple rustic pa amb tomàquet, a slice of bread with olive
oil, salt and freshly crushed tomatoes.
“The new ones” in particular may be very expensive, but many of
the best known chefs’ apprentices have now opened their own
lower-priced restaurants. Generally speaking, “the old ones”
provide better value for money, although even the traditional
restaurants know how to charge.
You should always reserve a table in Barcelona. Dinner is not
served until 9 p.m.
Cal Pep
A very popular tapas bar and restaurant. It’s best to jostle
your way to the bar and let Pep himself recommend the best hors
d’oeuvres. Otherwise, there are also tables and a quieter dining
room further in. A mixture of traditional and innovative
cooking. Middle price range.
Address: Plaça de les Olles 8
Metro: Barceloneta, Tel: +34 933 107 961
Cafè de l’Acadèmia
Slightly updated Catalonian cuisine in an attractive open-air
restaurant (arrive early) or in the cool, natural stone walled
interior. At lunchtime it is full of officials from the adjacent
Town Hall and regional government buildings. Middle price range.
Address: C/Lledó 1
Metro: Jaume I, Tel: +34 933 198 253
Ot
A place to sample modern Catalonian cuisine without it costing
the earth. No menu, just leave it to the chefs to suggest a
journey through their culinary world. It is full of pleasant
surprises. Small, but what there is, is good. Middle price
range+.
Address: C/Torres 25
Metro: Diagonal, Tel: +34 932 847 752
Alkimia
Basically, alchemy. It is something like this to which all those
Spanish chefs with their awards devote themselves. Here it is
Jordi Villa who has been awarded a Red Guide Star for his new
interpretations of Spanish classics and his own innovations –
what would you say to tuna slivers on a bed of mustard foam?
Book well in advance. Expensive.
Address: C/Indústria 79
Metro: Sagrada Família,Tel: +34 932 076 115
Salero
Elegant fusion in an almost completely white space. A typical
Salero dish is tuna with spinach and konbu, Japanese seaweed. If
you decide to dine here, have an aperitif at one of the bars in
the Borh district (see ”Bars” below).
Address: Rec 60, Tel: +34 93 319 80 22
7 Portes
”The Seven Doors” has been in business since 1836, and still has
its original modernismo interior – dark wood and tiles. However,
eating here is far from stodgy. Usually full of people enjoying
traditional Catalan cooking. Try the crema catalana, the Catalan
version of crème caramel. It is considered to be the best in
Barcelona.
Address: Passeig d´Isabel II 14, Tel: +34 93 319 3033
Colibri
This haute cuisine eatery pioneered modern market cooking. The
combination of atmosphere, the general ambience of the place,
and the produce all owe their fresh appeal to the nearby La
Boqueria food market.
Address: Riera Alta 33-35, Tel: +34 93 443 2306
Casa Leopoldo
Sample Old Barcelona – both in terms of interiors and the menu,
which is rich in traditional fish and seafood dishes. Montalban,
the city’s own literary commentator, crime novelist and gourmet,
was a regular here.
Address: Sant Rafael 24, Tel: +34 93 441 3014
Tapas bars
Spend an evening sampling the now worldfamous tapas dishes.
Start with some simple cold cuts at La Taberna la Comidilla
Real, on Calle Heures 6-1. After that, go over to Opaqo on Calle
Ciutat 10, and order the tarrina de alcachofas, artichokes with
cheese or carpaccio with duck. Finish at Xampanyet, on Calle
Montcada 22, with the anchovy banderilla and smoked tuna with
goat’s cheese.
Café
Barcelona’s cafe culture is half Italian, and comes with its own
set of simple rules. Café con leche (café amb llet in Catalan)
is for breakfast, preferably with a croissant. Mid-day,
especially after a meal, the locals have an espresso, café solo
(un café) or a cortado (un tallat), which is an espresso with
milk. Café Americano is just what it sounds like, watered down
versions of the two first coffees. In the afternoon, or after
dinner, order a café solo corto, a strong espresso, or a
carajillo, a café solo with Spanish brandy.
Café Zürich
Zürich is one of Barcelona’s prime gathering spots, which makes
it perfect for peoplewatching. The kissing greetings, and
checking of wristwatches for that late date, never seems to
stop. You will be asked to settle your bill when your coffee
arrives. That way you can leave when you want.
Address: Plaça Catalunya 1
Café de l´Opera
If there’s no room at Zürich, head over here. Many of the street
merchants from La Rambla come here.
Address: La Rambla 74
Bars
Barcelona stays awake while the rest of Europe sleeps! Nightlife
starts late – preferably at a bar. Spaniards believe it’s smart
to eat while drinking, so most bars also serve food – and
generally tapas.
Mirablau
Have a drink enjoying the city’s most expansive view - from the
slopes of Tibidabo – either on the terrace or behind the
wall-to-wall picture windows. After the worm’s-eye view from
Barri Gòtic or El Born, it can feel good to have Barcelona at
your feet.
Address: Plaça Doctor Andreu
Stop: tramway, Tramvia Blau, Tel: +34 934 185 879
La Vinya del Senyor
Still the best place to sample wine in Barcelona with its
location opposite the beautiful church of Santa Maria del Mar,
the great range of good wines (which are regularly replenished)
and the excellent tapas menu. Open-air restaurant on the church
square.
Address: Plaça Santa Maria 5
Metro: Jaume I, Tel: +34 933 103 379
Dry Martini
It looks like a gentlemen’s club, which makes it very ”now”.
Best for a drink before or after dinner.
Address: Aribau 162-166
Schilling
Schilling is a friendly, fairly intellectual place, close to La
Rambla and Barrí Gotic. If you walk around the Barri Gotic you
will most certainly pass it a couple of times.
Address: Ferran 23
Marsella
This bar, deep inside the Raval area is where Jean Genet spent
time in the company of thieves and prostitutes. Absinthe is
available, as are amateur transvestite theatre shows.
Address: Sant Pau 65
NIGHLIFE
Barcelona’s trendy nightlife is in a constant state of change.
This makes it impossible to list the hippest bars and
nightclubs. The best advice is to ask around for the latest and
greatest places, especially in fashion and record shops, or to
approach people who you think might know. Here are a few places
that have managed to stay popular:
La Paloma
Raval’s combination of old beauty and contemporary hipness is
apparent at La Paloma. This classic dance palace now attracts a
young crowd, doing the paso doble and the tango.
Address: Tigre 27a
Otto Zutz
A well-established nightclub on three levels, accommodated in
former factory premises. Spacious and airy, a good place to
dance when the music is right. The clientele is fairly
middle-of-the-road with a few beautiful people and a lot of
media types.
Address: C/Lincoln 15
Metro: FGC Gràcia

Shopping
SHOPPING
Interesting shops can be found in most parts of the city, but
those who want to be efficient should focus on Placa Catalunya
and Barri Gotic. The amusing, and gigantic, department store El
Corte Ingles is by Placa Catalunya. Come here for the wares, but
also for the people. It is interesting to watch some of the
Spanish families with chubby children, irritated fathers, and
strict mothers with salon-perfect hair.
Across the street is El Triangle, a grotesquely large shopping
palace with a good perfumery and a Camper shoe store. Calle
Avinyó in Barri Gotic is possibly Barcelona’s most interesting
shopping street. This is where Z is located, the crazy interiors
store selling both kitsch and comical trinkets. Other fun stores
include street fashion store Soda, Angel Gimeno specialising in
trendy shirts for men, and Loft Avignon, which caters to the
more sophisticated set. Close by is Zsu Zsa, where two
Argentinean sisters and their mother design their own line of
discreet women’s wear. Herborista del Rei, on Calle del Vidre 1
in Barri Gotic, is the best choice for herbs and spices. The
store has been here since 1823, and provides a somewhat odd
experience.
Visiting the La Boquería, half way down La Rambla, is something
of a must. The fishmongers deserve most attention – their
selection of mussels, seafood, and shellfish is overwhelming.
Stop by Petràs Fruits del Bosc for the best mushrooms in town.
Then sample the fresh baby octopus with garlic and parsley with
a glass of cava at the El Quim or Pinotxo bars. The El Born
district is also a good place to shop for food. Casa Gispert,
C/Sombrerers 23, on one of the long sides of the Santa Maria del
Mar church, has devoted itself to roasting coffee since 1851 –
in a wood burner that is still used and which can be viewed in
the shop. Dried nuts and fruit, cocoa, spices and mushrooms are
also sold here. Tot Formatge, Passeig del Born 13, is one of
Barcelona’s best-stocked cheese shops with both Spanish and
foreign varieties.
For serious fashion shopping, make your way to Passeig de
Gràcia, the parallel street, Rambla de Catalunya, and the
surrounding district. You will find all the big international
fashion names here, including Spanish greats such as Adolfo
Domínguez, Armand Basi, Groc and the leather specialist Loewe.
More economic alternatives such as Zara, Mango and Massimo Dutti
are also represented. You can find a good selection of
trend-conscious designer fashions at Noténom, C/Pau Claris 159.
Gonzalo Comella, Passeig de Gràcia 6, is a Barcelona institution
in the world of fashion – the chain has been in existence for
more than a century – with a wide selection of designer
fashions.
Vinçon, the home furnishings department store with cult status
is also at Passeig de Gràcia (no. 96). Colmada Quilez on the
parallel street, Rambla de Catalunya 63, also has cult status –
this is Barcelona’s most famous food shop with thousands of
tinned products, dried goods and bottles on shelves that run
from floor to ceiling all the way round the shop walls. There is
an enormous range of wines and spirits. There is also cheese and
a delicatessen, and you are served at the counter by male
assistants in striped overalls.
Department stores
El Corte Inglés
Spain’s department store colossus is both loved and hated, but
successfully performs the main task of the department store,
which is to offer most things to most people. Designer fashions,
their own low and medium-priced lines, enormous perfumery and
make-up departments, leather goods in all price ranges, toys,
children’s clothes, art materials, food and delicatessen, home
furnishing devices, white goods, garden furniture, a tobacco
department with humidors … etc. However, the best thing about El
Corte Inglés is the service. The staff are always friendly and
helpful, garments are shortened and taken in at no cost and
without a murmur – and the customer has the unlimited right of
return upon production of a receipt. This sells.
