The Rough Guide to Barcelona And Catalunya

Barcelona, capital of Catalunya, is a mix of the medieval and the provocatively new, with a renowned nightlife. The province is no less varied, climbing from the Mediterranean resorts of the Costa Brava to the isolated mountains and valleys of the Pyrenees. As well as giving full background and detailed descriptions of all there is to see, this guide advises on accommodation details, the best places to eat and drink, and explains how to get around the towns and villages - using the local buses and trains or riding perilous cable cars and rack railways. It also gives information on city's best paella, neighbourhood walks and wine-tasting tours.
