Barcelona City Breaks
Barcelona somehow manages to blend laid-back beach days with busy city life - and the best part is, you can flit between both.

Families will love Gaudi’s multi-coloured artwork around the city. While most football fans come here for one reason: to experience Camp Nou (home of the legendary Barcelona FC) even if it’s just for a tour.
