Barcelona: The City Stay
Antoni Gaudí’s architectural fingerprints are all over Barcelona, most notably at the colorful Park Güell and his infamous work-in-progress, La Sagrada Família.
As you walk along Las Ramblas (which means “stream” in Arabic) and peddle through the city’s Gothic Quarter, you’ll be swept away by the creative spirit and playful charm that make this Catalonian capital so magical.
