Barcelona

Barcelona offers a unique opportunity for the tourist on foot to walk from Roman remains to the medieval city, and then to the modern city with its open thoroughfares and grid-iron street pattern. The historic city center is fairly flat, while the modern city fans out towards the surrounding hills, bordered by steep streets.

Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia. The people of Barcelona speak Catalan, their own language, and Spanish, as well as some English and French.
