What is Barcelona

Barcelona is the main city of the Mediterranean, shrouded in secret and legends.
Most likely, you heard about the Gothic quarter, Sagrade de surname, the Montzhuik area, a huge Omar on the main embankment, small bars with tapas, numerous cafes with Sangria and Paeli, or maybe you were even now recalling there about their evenings in Barcelona.
This city has changed for 2000 years: from the Roman colony - to a forgotten periphery, from the center of sciences and arts to a nondescript industrial city, from a cheap resort for northern Europeans to the city, into which the 1992 Olympics transformed.
What is Barcelona today? How does a modern person feel in it, what local residents think about tourists, in which areas it is worth living, and where to look only behind the cocktail and dancing, how many years of history affect the development of the city, which is true and what is not?
To answer all these questions and find out a lot of new things to you this book will help you
