The past decade has been good to Barcelona. Beginning with its selection to host the 1992 Summer Olympic Games, this ancient Catalonia seaport has been rejuvenated. Always a bit more hip than its stuffier Castilian cousin Madrid, the city is a haven for artists, intellectuals, and filmmakers. Whether you come to Barcelona for business or pleasure or both--and this is truly a city where it's easy to do both--you will find it slightly magical and always stimulating. |
