Destination Profile
The Catalan capital and the second largest metropolis in Spain unfolds in a flurry of pintxos (that's tapas) and Mediterranean passion. Its urban interior is gilded with the creative spires of Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia, along with an ancient core of narrow lanes, cobbled plazas, and shadowy alleys known as the Gothic Quarter. Las Ramblas runs on one side with its Art Deco theatres, while the ocean washes the south-eastern districts, breathing salty life into the promenades and the seafood joints. Beyond town to the north, meanwhile, come craggy sierras hiding UNESCO monasteries and rustic farms. These days, cheap flights to Barcelona from Australia typically involve making at least one stopover, with the best bargains often on big Asian airlines like Cathay Pacific, Etihad, and Qatar.
Gaudi's most famous creation, La Sagrada looms high over modern Barcelona with its gnarled spires and Neo-Gothic artworks.
