Barcelona
About 1.6 million people.
Barcelona sits right beside the sparkling Mediterranean Sea and is famous all over the world for its wild, colorful buildings. It is the capital of a region called Catalonia and a favorite for visitors.
See the amazing Sagrada Familia church that looks like a sandcastle, wander the wavy houses designed by architect Antoni Gaudi, and splash at the city beaches. Park Guell has dragon fountains made of colorful tiles.
Amazing buildings
Architect Antoni Gaudi filled the city with buildings that curve and swirl like they are made of melting candy. The Sagrada Familia has been under construction for over 140 years.
Beaches
Barcelona is one of the few big cities with sandy beaches right in town. You can build sandcastles, swim in the warm sea, and eat ice cream by the water.
