Olympic Port
The Olympic port was built for the Olympic games of 1992. 4 km away from the Hotel, it is one of the main areas where to go out at night, with restaurants, bars, cafeterias and clubs, particularly lively in summer.
Barrio Gotico
The gothic district is one of the oldest and most interesting parts of Barcelona.
Catedral de la Sagrada Familia
Work left unfinished by the architect Antonio Gaudi, the most important interpreter of the modernist style. Its origins date back to 1883 when Gaudi was given the task of completing the project firstly commissioned to Francesc de Paula Villar. Gaudi radically changed the original project.
Imax-Acuarium
It is Europe's biggest aquarium. Here it is possible to admire dolphins, white sharks, etc.
Casa Mila
It is known as "La pedrera" for the shape of its fa§ade, resembling a rocky seabed (piedra=rock). Its project was developed by Gaud between 1905 and 1912, with the intention of opening up architecture to other artistic disciplines, such as sculture.
Park Guell
Created by Gaud between 1900 and 1914 and open to public since 1922, it has been decladed by Unesco Heritage of the Huumanity. Initially it was meant to be a "garden-town", located far from the busy city, including 60 residences. Undofrtunately the project failed and only two houses were built.
Font Magica de Montjuic
Built for the Universal Exposition of 1929, it was designed by the engineer Carles BuŻgas, who had also been in charge of the 1954 and 1955 restoration. Its 9 jets, which change in colour and shape according to the rhythm of the music are an amazing and unforgettable show.
Related Spain Content
The straw donkey and sombrero image of Spain is now largely consigned to the bin - along with the paella and chips. In its place comes a sheaf of sparkling and evocative new images, as the visitor trend turns from sun-and-fun package holidays to individually tailored, more sophisticated themes.
Spain is a country on the move, a place of rapid change. High-speed railways have conquered the country’s mountainous terrain and many cities now have modern metro and tram networks, testifying to a vibrant and growing economy. But here, too, you will find a country where
time stands still, where Romancolumns rise into a clear blue sky, where crumbling Arab watchtowers maintain a lonely vigil over vast and magnificent landscapes, and city plazas where the baroque jostles with the modern to strike a uniquely Spanish harmony.
The historic cities of Spain are drenched in the atmosphere of the past, but well equipped to meet modern needs as well. The countryside is infinitely varied, from the ‘Green Spain’ of the rugged Atlantic coast to the parched plains of Castile and La Mancha. The open roads across endless open spaces produce a steady stream of surprises, with hidden villages and unexpected castles, shepherds roaming with their flocks and hilltop windmills appearing unexpectedly. It is a great country for touring.
Rich in history and natural beauty and with more than a fair share of sunshine Spain is a year-round, natural choice for many different kinds of holiday, from outdoor adventures to world-class museums and art galleries to an infinite variety of popular beaches and secluded coves. Not least the people are warm and welcoming - and they know how to party. The Spanish experience would be incomplete without joining in at least one of its famous fiestas.
Geography Spain shares the Iberian Peninsula with its smaller neighbor, Portugal, and is bordered to the northeast by the Pyrenees Mountains, which separate Spain from France. The Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera), 193km (120 miles) southeast of Barcelona, and the Canary Islands off the west coast of Africa are part of Spain, as are the tiny enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla on the North African mainland.
Mainland Spain is the second highest and most mountainous country in Europe, with an average height of 610m (2,000ft). The Pyrenees stretch roughly 400km (249 miles) from the Basque Country’s Atlantic coast, eastwards to the Mediterranean Sea. In places the peaks rise to over 1,524m (5,000ft), the highest point being 3,404m (11,169ft). The main physical feature of Spain is the vast central plateau, or Meseta, divided by several chains of sierras. The higher northern area includes Castile and León, the southern section comprises Castile/La Mancha and Extremadura. In the south, the high plains rise further at the Sierra Morena before falling abruptly at the great valley of The Guadalquivir.
Southeast of Granada is the Sierra Nevada, part of the Betic Cordillera, which runs parallel to the Mediterranean, rising to 3,478m (11,411ft) at the summit of Mulhacen, the highest point on the Spanish peninsula (the Pico del Teide on Tenerife in the Canaries is the highest peak in Spain at 3,718m (12,198ft). The Mediterranean coast extends 1,660km (1,030 miles) from the French frontier to the Straits of Gibraltar, the narrow strip of water linking the Mediterranean with the Atlantic and separating Spain from North Africa.
