Barcelona, a city of magical appeal
We all have our own mind’s eye images of Barcelona:
The Sagrada Familia Church and Park Guell by Antonio Gaudí, the prestigious
football club FC Barcelona, the famous city beaches, the magic fountain of
Montjuïc, or the famous Las Ramblas and many more unique attractions...There
is something for everyone’s taste!
Barcelona is definitely rich in history and full of energy... as the famous architect
Le Corbusier said:
“Allow me to state here how much I love Barcelona , an admirable city, a
city full of life, intense, a port open to the past and future.”
(Le Corbusier)
Barcelona, with its population of 1.5 million people, is not only Spain’s second
largest city, but also the capital of Catalonia. Barcelona’s people are proud to be
Catalan, a separate nationality and autonomous community in the northeast of
Spain. Catalan is a Romance language and locals deeply appreciate it if you try
to speak some words in Catalan while you are in Barcelona. It might sound
similar to Spanish, but Catalans insist that it’s not a Spanish dialect but a distinct
language. Simply use some phrases such as “Bon dia” (Good morning) and
“Adéu” (Goodbye) and you will often be treated in a more respectful and
friendlier way.
Gaudi’s Sagrada Church is one of the most breathtaking landmarks of
Barcelona
What do we offer you on the following pages?

How to Use This Guide
This book not only contains a bird’s eye view of each sightseeing spot so that
you can orientate yourself in this city, but also additional online maps for those
devices that have a Mobile or WIFI Connection. If your device is GPS enabled,
then you will even see your location on the map and can navigate with help of
your navigation app to your destination.
For example: You want to visit Guell Park:
We tell you how to get there (which metro station, etc.) but you can also click on
online maps to see how to get there on foot or by public transport. If you have a
GPS enabled device (e.g. Smartphone or tablet) you can navigate there in the
easiest way. Try it; it’s the new, more convenient way to explore a city! Costs
for a SIM card for data are low; they can be bought in telecom shops and operate
within seconds. But you can also download the Google maps of Barcelona onto
your device before you leave on holiday and use their maps in offline mode
without the need of an active data connection.
All landmarks and hotels in this eBook include this easy online / offline
navigation feature!
How to download an area from Google Maps for Android and Apple devices:
1. Launch the Maps app
2. Search for Barcelona first, then zoom in or zoom out the map screen so that
the area you want cached is displayed.
3. Once this is done, just type or speak “OK Maps” in the search bar and this
will automatically start a download of the specified map to your cache.
4. That’s it. You should now be able to use Google Maps for that area even
without an internet connection.
