Barcelona

Barcelona, the heart of Cartalonia and the second largest city in Spain. The city can often be mistaken as the Spanish capital with its sheer size, freshness and quality of life that can be found there.

Barcelona is a twelve month city, with January and February as its coldest months. The magnificent city has seven beaches spanning the coastline.

While Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, it is bilingual speaking both Catalan and Spanish.

The city has amazing architecture which you could fill your trip visiting.

The gay area is called L'Eixample or nick named GayEixample and is north-west of the center of town within walking distance but can also be reached by Metro from either the Universitat or Urgell stations. If you get off at Urgell take the Villarroel exit. The gay scene is lively and there's plenty of variety. Everything you'd expect from a major city's gay scene but with the added bonus of bronzed Spanish boys all over the place. Eixample is pronounced eye-sham-play.
