Visit Barcelona, from Gaudi to Watching FC Barcelona, the World's Best

By Lance Lycett


If you've been considering a trip to Spain, then the city you have got to see is Barcelona. If you are going to Europe at all, or want to travel somewhere exciting from all around the world, Barcelona will continue to be right at the top of the list. You could spend a month and still have more to explore, from the dazzling sights of Gaudi and his design, the culture all across the sprawling city, and oh yes, if it is soccer season you can pick up FC Barcelona tickets to see the world's best team in action.

Barcelona is a town unlike any other. It has a unique match of ancient history and sights, modern culture and creativity, and everything between. It mixes many different cultures, languages, styles, customs and more. For example, although it's in Spain, Barcelona has deeper ties to its area, Catalonia. The Catalan language is spoken as frequently as not, in opposition to Spanish, and life is different in Barcelona and Catalonia then the remainder of the Spanish country.

One of the sides of Barcelona that most folks know about is the design and art of Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi is one of the most noted designers ever, and he had a completely unique style that brought organic forms and kinds into buildings and design. He was also well understood to be a bit out there and overboard with some of his decor, using bright colours and all sorts of standout elements, like mosaics and sculptures.

Around Barcelona, his influence can be felt everywhere. His shocking masterwork, La Sagrada Familia, is still being built but can be toured and viewed. His suburban park Parc Guell is a completely unique idea that's like a theme park it is so thoroughly designed and detailed, and his famous homes Casa Batllo and Casa Mila showcase different styles and are must-sees in the town.

Barcelona is also right on the Mediterranean coast, and you will find miles of stunning (topless) beaches. The town is also well known to showcase amazing fight, a wild nightlife and social scene that goes all across the night, and masses more to amuse you at all hours.

Of course, no trip to Barcelona would be complete without a trip to see the planet's best soccer team, FC Barcelona. The Barcelona football squad is packed with talent [*COMMA] and is coming off winning the 2011 Champion's League, officially making them the best club team in the world. They also showcase plenty of the same Spanish stars who played for the 2010 Spanish World Cup winning squad.

You will be crazy about Barcelona and all sides of its culture and life. Enjoy the great food and drink, and the social life at all hours. Visit all the pretty Gaudi sights, and make a journey to the beach. And whatever you do, do not forget to buy FC Barcelona tickets if you can, because they are as much of Barcelona and its life as anything else.
