What are things to do in Barcelona Spain during this summer?

 It's a summer holiday for many people. The perfect opportunity to get out and enjoy the beach and the sun and have things to do in Barcelona Spain. Until two months ago, it was impossible for Spaniards to enjoy Barcelona while they were and are still living through a difficult period, especially because of the forced confinement in order not to spread the Covid-19 virus.

However, during summer holidays, people want to have fun, discover a new culture and even learn about the history of the city. Barcelona is the cradle of a fusion of Catalan and Spanish culture.

A Catalan culture rich in monuments to discover

Thanks to the Barcelona Spain travel guide, you can discover places to visit with your family or alone. For example, when talking about Barcelona, it is inevitable not to think about the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia, number one Spain tourism attraction. This building was created in 1883 at the request of Gaudí. This basilica, also known as the Great Atonement Temple, is a basilica that is continually being repaired, but whose neo-Gothic beauty will delight most people.

A true Barcelonaer will tell you, if you travel to Barcelona, it is impossible to miss the works of Gaudi. As mentioned above, you can see the Sagrada Familia, but you can also see the Casa Milà. Built between 1906 and 1912, the building appears as a succession of stone walls. The interior contains several painted courtyards, columns and a number of rooms. In addition, the building is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

You can also see Barcelona Cathedral, a central place of worship in Barcelona. The main facade, richly decorated and dotted with gargoyles and stone details from Northern European Gothic, distinguishes it from other churches in Barcelona. The facade was actually added between 1887 and 1890. The rest of the building dates from between 1298 and 1460. For a bird's eye view of medieval Barcelona, you can visit the roof and tower of the cathedral by taking the lift (3 euros; cash only) from the Capella dels Sant Innocents, near the north-east transept.
