Barcelona Greetings!!!
The city of Barcelona is slightly over 90 km2 in area, and has a population of 1,700,000 inhabitants. It is the centre of a large metropolitan area which has over three million inhabitants. Over two thousands years old, Barcelona is the capital of the historic nation of Catalonia. There is not just one Barcelona, but several. The old city (Ciutat Vella) offers the visitor a wide range of routes to follow and reconstruct the history of Barcelona by starting at the Roman walls, moving to the medieval streets of the Gothic Quarter and going to the popular promenade know as La Rambla. From there you can discover the architectural and decorative models of the Modernism, with many works of Antoni Gaudi such as the Sagrada Familia.
