7/22/2011 2 Welcome to Barcelona If there were only three words to describe Barcelona city center they would be Culture, Style and Harmony. The city of Barcelona manages to cater for the demands of the modern World whilst ensuring that the new has its own traditions, cuisine and language that's very distinct from the rest of mainland Spain. The Catalan people are proud of their rich heritage and have successfully maintained it. This blending of cultures makes the city of Barcelona a truly fascinating place to visit. A lot of thought has gone into maintaining the beauty of the city center whilst still ensuring excellent facilities for visitors, the public and business worlds. Unlike many European cities that often have a clash of the old World with the new, here you experience a distinct feeling of integration. This Mediterranean port was overlooked for decades, until the 1992 Olympics set off a chain reaction that reinvigorated Barcelona. The city’s tradition of experimentation with design and cuisine helped set the stage for its bold fusion restaurants and cutting-edge design shops. Today, Spain’s second largest metropolis is buzzing with corporate and leisure adventure.
