gorgeous and very relaxing
Barcelona is great, a very modern and characterful city.
We stayed in the spotlessly clean and chilled-out resort village of Llafranc on the Costa Brava. Would recommend to anyone.
We didn’t go inland to the mountains as we were only there for a week. Next time!

Catalonia and Barcelona-make the trip!
Catalonia is wonderful, the food, the language, the people. One of my highlights was going to a dinner which involved the entire village, was set up in the street and lasted 4 hours. Barcelona is a beautiful and very cosmopolitan city, well worth visiting more than once.

You can take several noteworthy day trips from Barcelona. The most popular is to the Benedictine monastery of Montserrat, northwest of Barcelona. To the south, the Roman city of Tarragona has been neglected by visitors but is particularly interesting to those who appreciate ancient history. Beach lovers and gays and lesbians should head for the resort town of Sitges. About six million people live in Catalonia, and twice that many visit every year. It's one of Europe's playgrounds, with its beaches along the Costa Brava and the Costa Dorada, centered on Sitges. Tarragona is the capital of its own province, and Barcelona, of course, is the political, economic, and cultural center of Catalonia.
