CITY CHOICE: BARCELONA: MESON CASTILLA

About Barcelona
Barcelona is a fantastic melting pot of cultures, customs, traditions and colourful styles. It’s an exciting and cosmopolitan place, which has long been at the forefront of contemporary art and modern design. Picasso, Dali, Gaudi and Miro all lived and worked here, and their legacies can be seen across the city. Today, Barcelona offers the visitor elegant squares, colourful cafes, waterfront restaurants, hidden courtyards and narrow cobbled streets steeped in history. It has a plethora of monumental interest too: Roman walls, Gothic cathedrals, Baroque churches and turn-of-the-century mansions designed in bizarre Gaudi fashion.

Meson Castilla
