Barcelona is a great city in Spain located on the
Mediterranean coast, a real gem, ranked as the 8th
best city in the world (The World's Best Cities 2021,

sun all year round, as it has many beautiful
beaches, as well as having an exquisite

one feels like a foreigner.

enjoy the panoramic view of the sunset from the
hills of the mountain. Really, Barcelona can conquer
anyone's heart!
