Barcelona, more than just a single city, is really a collection of multi-faceted and diverse cities. A visitor unfamiliar with its history might be surprised that such a modern and enterprising city preserves its historic Gothic centre almost intact, or by the curious contrast between the maze of narrow streets and the grid-like layout of the Eixample, the urban planning "Enlargement" project of the end of the 19th century. This beautiful city is full of what European cities are known for - outdoor markets, restaurants, shops, museums, and churches - and is fantastic for walking with an extensive and reliable Metro system for more far-flung destinations. The delight of Barcelona lies in the lesser known aspects of Barcelona: delightful trompe I'oeil building fagade murals complete with characters, windows and balconies, amazing cafes, street markets, quirky cultural centres and a host of speciality shops recalling a byegone era. 'Discover the other Barcelona' and experience the city like the locals.
