Barcelona <\/strong>is the capital of Catalonia and the second largest city in Spain after Madrid. Since the unsuccessful declaration of independence of Catalonia from Spain, Barcelona is represented again and again in the media and thus moved even more into the focus. Barcelona is located - as one can see on the picture - at the sea, namely at the Mediterranean Sea approximately 120 km at the south of the mountain range Pyrenees<\/strong> and the border to France<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The Catalan capital is spatially constricted from all sides. Thus, on one side is the Mediterranean Sea, on the opposite side is the Mountain range Serra de Collserola<\/strong> and on the southern and northern side Barcelona is surrounded by the Rivers Llobregat and Bes\u00f2s<\/strong> kept in check.<\/p>\n

The Serra de Collserola<\/b>, which is part of the coastal mountain range, is not particularly high. Thus reaches the highest point, the Tibidabo <\/b>just 512 meters. On the Tibidabo stands a transmission tower visible from afar with 288.4 meters, the Torre de Collserola.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The highest point of the city itself is the Mont T\u00e0ber<\/strong> at Barri G\u00f2tic old quarter<\/strong>. This is an important point for the city, because about 2000 years ago the Romans built here the settlement Barcino, from which later Barcelona emerged. In addition to Mont T\u00e0ber, there are several other small built-up hills in the city, each of which has given its name to the neighbourhoods that have sprung up there.\u00a0<\/p>

In the southwest of the city lies the Montju\u00efc<\/strong>, one of the two \"House Mountains<\/strong>\" of the Catalan capital. Here, among other things, the World's Fair 1929<\/strong>, the world championship races of the Formula 1<\/strong> as well as the Olympic & Paralympic Games 1992 <\/strong>organized\/carried out.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Pla\u00e7a de Catalunya is one of the most important places and therefore also one of the most important traffic junctions in Barcelona. It is very central and is used for special occasions. In the square there are sculptures, trees, in the side streets you can find many shops and cafes. One of the most important and famous streets, the \"La Rambla\" ends at the square. In recent times, demonstrations for the independence of Catalonia take place here from time to time.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

La Rambla\" is Barcelona's most famous and popular boulevard. Every visitor to Barcelona must have been here once. Unfortunately, the visit is one of the most exhausting of the city, as every day thousands of tourists cavort here and also the souvenir sellers are very busy here. To the right and left of the Ramblas there are also some other sights.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This square with its large roundabout is one of the most famous squares in Barcelona, although there is never much going on here, it is considered one of the traffic hubs of Barcelona. In the middle of the roundabout there is a fountain with a small lake and in the middle there is the monument built in baroque style with the name \"Espa\u00f1a Ofrecida a Dios\" (\"Spain consecrated to God\"). By coming from the airport, one should decide here at the latest in which direction one wants to continue travelling. Under the ground there is a big subway station and at the roundabout itself there are bus stops that are served by approximately 30 bus lines. From here you also have access to the fairground, the National Palace and the local mountain of Barcelona, the Montju\u00efc.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Pla\u00e7a de les Gl\u00f2ries Catalanes, or simply \"Gl\u00f2ries\" is a large square in Barcelona, originally designed by Ildefons Cerd\u00e0 to serve as the city centre in his original city plan. It has since become more of a transport hub, with the Gl\u00f2ries metro station and tram also connected here.\u00a0
However, if you walk down Avinguda Diagonal from the square, you will first come across the Torre Agbar (Torre Gl\u00f2ries), an impressive tower that can also be seen from all over the city and which looks particularly impressive at night, as it lights up in a variety of colours. Also, a little further down, you will find the shopping centre Gl\u00f2ries, which is also very well frequented and offers all kinds of shopping possibilities.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Port Ol\u00edmpic is the new Olympic port. Here you will find restaurants with everything your heart desires. At the weekends the youth of Barcelona meets here. Here the big cleaning up started before the Olympic Games in 1992. Factories etc. were demolished and the Olympic village was built, whose apartments were sold afterwards. The Olympic harbour is now a popular marina. At the beginning there are two skyscrapers, which are visible from everywhere in Barcelona.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Barceloneta district is located at the end of the port area and is popular with residents and tourists alike. There are many winding streets and great original Catalan restaurants here. The most beautiful beaches of the city are located here and connect the old port (Port Vell) with the new port (Port Ol\u00edmpic). In the beginning Barceloneta was a settlement of fishermen, who were then gradually displaced by factory buildings. Cheap and illegal housing was built here during this time. For the Olympic Games, this was changed. Important streets and well-preserved buildings were preserved, others restored. Illegal and neglected buildings, on the other hand, were demolished. Thus, a new quarter was created that has nevertheless preserved the charm of the old times.
And ... here are the best fish restaurants in Barcelona.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
