One can also admire the
buildings and constructions of famous
architect, Antoni Gaudi, in particular his
emblematic cathedral, La Sagrada Familia.
For art lovers the Miró Foundation and
the Picasso Museum are an absolute must. As
occured on previous occasions (the
Universal Exhibition of 1888 and the
International Exhibition of 1929),
Barcelona took advantage of a major world
event, the Olympic Games of 1992, to reach
its definitive modernisation. Nothing in
Barcelona is left to chance: neither the
new urban philosophy and its design, nor
the growing presence of the city in the
world. Everything is due to the singular
effort, vitality and constant initiative of
its citizens

Right opposite the school
you can take the train and in 25 minutes you
will be in the centre of Barcelona. This is a
city where you can find gothic constructions
side by side with the most modern
contemporary architecture. It is a place
where the economic bustle meets with things
intellectual and cultural; where the hills
and the sea are ever present. Today’s
Barcelona enjoys a particularly rich moment
in its life...... |

It is a city with over
2000 years of history as well as a splendid
Mediterranean metropolis. A large part of
its long entrepreneurial and industrial
tradition springs from its cosmopolitan
character. Without a doubt the centre-city
pedestrian boulevard known as “Las
Ramblas”, is the most lively part of
town, an ideal place to get the feel of the
city. A stroll through the Gothic Quarter,
with its outstanding buildings, is a fine
way for the visitor to spend
time.
