Barcelona’s wide spectrum of cultural activities is one of the city’s most attractive features. Alongside the sea and the sun that attract tourists to stay in one of the city’s hotels or boutique apartments, it’s the culture that makes the difference. In this particular area, events, festivals, and museums are at least as important as the well-known Barcelona points of interest.
