Start by taking the Southern highway and go straight to Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia. In this city, there’s something for everyone: cultural tourism, beach and relaxation, nightclubs … Feel free to park by the sea outside the city on the first night: take a good night rest and get started in the city tour the next day. Check out the Ramblas, take the cable car to enjoy the city from the air, stop by the Sagrada Familia or the Güell Park, or just stay at the beach! You’re spoiled for choice. Football fans can also go to the Nou Camp to visit the stadium of FC Barcelona. These places are unavoidable and very tourist.
