Barcelona
Being the second largest city in Spain, the capital of the autonomous region of Catalonia, Barcelona amazes with its beauty, grandeur, abundance of cultural and historical values and monuments, as well as its intrinsic elusive atmosphere, which is difficult to find anywhere else in Spain, and perhaps in the world.
Here, traditional values and customs are preserved in a fairly conservative Spanish society are harmoniously intertwined with the local heritage, treasured by the inhabitants of Catalonia.
Barcelona is a real tourist paradise: it is one of the ten most visited destinations in the world and is ranked first among the Spanish cities, which is undoubtedly an outstanding indicator.
Numerous recreational facilities, some of the world's best urban beaches, eight sites officially recognized by UNESCO as world cultural and historical monuments, as well as a first-class tourist infrastructure - this will not leave you indifferent

Placa Reial
Next your stop will be Placa Reial. Once there was a monastery of the Capuchin Order. It was destroyed in the middle of the nineteenth century. The year 1837 can be considered a turning point in the formation of the urban landscape of Barcelona. Then the Spanish government confiscated land belonging to churches and monasteries, and sold them at auction to private hands. Thus, eighty percent of the church lands located within the city limits changed their owners. So residential areas, squares and markets replaced the churches and monasteries.
The square is one of the busiest places in the city. There are many bars, restaurants and nightclubs here. This quarter was the first major urban renewal project in Barcelona.
