Barcelona  Hostels Central - online booking for hostels in Barcelona

Barcelona has recently become the fun capital of Europe, with several thousands tourists swarming there to live the “vida loca”. The legendary “Las Ramblas” is not a place where to look for fun, but where fun will come looking for you, no matter how much you try to hide. The Spanish way of life may be quite surprising to foreign tourists, since apparently these people never get any sleep, and don’t have to go to work too early in the day...

But Barcelona is also a very lively cultural city, with hundreds of venues and festivals, fabulous museums and one artist that has put his own mark very deeply on the city, Antoni Gaudì, who not only designed the magnificent Sagrada Familia cathedral, one of the last examples of great art applied to religious buildings, but has also designed several Art Nouveau villas, which are everywhere in the city.

It must be remembered that Barcelona is a city which is fiercely proud of its identity, since it belongs to the Catalan region, where people do not speak Castillan Spanish, but Catalan, which is a fairly different language. So do not go around flaunting your fresh Spanish lessons...
