Since Barcelona hosted the 1992 Olympics, investment and development has grown, as has the yearly flock of tourists. How has a former city of slums prevelant with drugs and prostitution not to mention more than its fair share of illegal immigrants become squeaky clean and a must see destination?

MOD OR GOTH? Architectural Reverance

With roots going back 2000 years and centred around a cathedral dating back to 1079, is there a place for contemporary architecture in Winchester?

Winchester has a long history: there has been continuous settlement at the site for over 2,000 years.

Winchester began as a Celtic hill fort, predating the Roman invasion of Britain in 43 CE. After the Roman conquest, the town grew and became known as Venta Belgarum. After pros-

pering under Roman imperial rule for several centuries, Winchester discovered a new identity as an important Saxon city. Ultimately, King Alfred the Great named Winchester as the capital, first of his kingdom of Wessex and later all of England south of the Danelaw - despite the growing impor-

tance of London, it remained so until the Norman invasion of 1066. During the Middle Ages Winchester was renowned for its woollen goods, amongst other produce.

Presently, Winchester is an attractive and peaceful cathedral city deep in the southern English countryside, located conveniently close to both London and Southampton.

ANY OTHER BUSINESS? Getting there

Flights from the UK and Ireland Flying to Barcelona from the UK takes about an hour and a half, around thirty minutes more from Ireland, and connections at the other end into the city are so frequent that you can easily be on the Ramblas sipping a coffee by noon. There are charter flights from London throughout the year, either direct to Barcelona itself, or to Girona. There is a fair variety of flights from most parts of the US to Madrid, with connections on to Barcelona. Occasionally, however and especially if you’re coming from Canada - your best bet may be to route via another major European city. Flying times to Barcelona (excluding lay-overs) is around eight hours from New York, nine hours from Toronto. If Barcelona and Spain are part of a longer European trip, you’ll also want to check out details of the Eurail pass, which must be purchased in advance of your arrival and can get you by train from anywhere in Europe to Barcelona.

Landmarks

Sagrada Famila. Nothing quite prepares you for the impact of Antoni Gaudi’s ambitious church. C/ Marina & C/Sardena. Metro:Sagrada Familia.

La Rambla, No better place ot indulge the senses as you stroll down this route from the port.

Street artists of al sorts line the way as well as cafes and market stalls.

Major attractions can be reached from this street.

Barcelona Cathedral, situated in the Barri Gotic quarter, bask in teh cathedrals glory in eth square opposite. A picturesque location, Europe’s best-preserved Gothic Quarter, Gaudí’s delightfully cheeky architecture and galleries with the treasures of Miró, Tápies and Picasso make Barcelona visually stunning indoors

and out. “New Catalan Cuisine” and tapas bars tempt the taste buds, and the nightlife and music are on the cutting edge.

Museums

The Picasso museum is “the” museum to visit in Barcelona. For the artist and for the building. Imagine in Montcada street, in the Gothic area, five medieval palaces linked together to make a museum. So charming to visit and a very fast immersion in Catalan?s ambient. Concerning Pablo Ruiz Picasso the museum is indispensable for understanding its formative years. The genius of the young artist is revealed through the more than 3,500 works that make up the permanent collection. It also reveals his relationship with Barcelona: an intimate, solid relationship that was shaped in his adolescence and youth, and continued until his death.. You will remember corrida drawing.

Joan Miro Foundation is one of our favourite museums in Barcelona.

Be there once is an obligation. The building designed by Josep Lluís Sert offers you a moment of calm and beatitude: experience of light and beautiful spaces. Among the trees, you will have a stunning sightseeing of the city and a particular moment to see again or discover the work of Miró who throughout his life took a particular interest in the diversity of materials, forms and colours. It led him to explore and experiment with different art forms such as painting, sculpture, printing techniques, ceramics, theatre and tapestry.

Beaches

Barceloneta beach. Barcelona has seven beaches, totalling 4.5 km (2.8 mi) of coastline. Sant Sebastià and Barceloneta beaches, both 1,100 m (3,610 ft) in length,[21] are the largest, oldest and the most frequented beaches in Barcelona. The

Olympic port separates them from the other city beaches: Nova Icària, Bogatell, Mar Bella, Nova Mar Bella and Llevant. These beaches (ranging from 400 to 640 m/1,300 to 2,100 ft) were opened as a result of the city restructuring to host the 1992 Summer Olympics, when a great number of industrial buildings were demolished. At present, the beach sand is replenished from quarries given that storms regularly remove large quantities of material. The 2004 Universal Forum of Cultures left the city a large concrete bathing zone on the eastmost part of the city’s coastline.

Dining

Cal Pep is one of the most known tapas restaurant in Barcelona. Its reputation goes largely behind the city wall and it’s justified.. Everything is fresh and fun, the tapas, the people, the service, the wine.. Nothing to say just that you have to be there once otherwise you don’t know what tapas are. While waiting look the orders and make your menu.

Jordi Vilà the Chef of Alkimia (alchemy in English) is part of the young guard of the New Catalan cuisine along with Chefs from Comerç 24 and Santa Maria. A new wave initiated several years ago by Ferran Adrià with the success which one knows.

Hidden behind the Sagrada Familia, this restaurant with minimalist decoration offers imaginative and very colored food, in only one word: astonishing!

Vinya Roel is a restaurant enoteca in Barcelona where you can enjoy traditional catalan recipes in combination with a full wide-ranging list of wines. This restaurant not only stands out for its gastronomy level and particular setting, wine is in th limelight throughout.
