BARCELONA, SPAIN Arrive: 0800 Saturday, October 17 Onboard: 1800 Monday, October 19 Brief Overview: Barcelona, host city for the 1992 Olympic Games, is home to a wide variety of art, culture, architecture and life that easily blends the old Gothic Quarter with the new. As the center of the Modernism architectural movement, discoveries await around every corner. Perhaps the most well-known of these is La Sagrada Famîlia, Gaudi s unfinished masterpiece and his final resting place. Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro also resided in Barcelona and their works can be enjoyed at the Museu d Art Modern, the Museu Picasso and the Fundacio Miro. Bullfighting, never very popular in this part of Spain, was outlawed in Catalunya in 2011. That has only increased the popularity of Futbol Club Barcelona (FC Barca), whose international renown makes Camp Nou a destination for devoted fans from around the world. Past meets present at night as well when the city is alive with traditional sounds of Rumba Cataluna, the smells and tastes of paella, the sights of dramatic lights and the Magic Fountain water and music display. Situated on the beautiful waters of the Mediterranean, Barcelona boasts the largest Aquarium in Europe. Out of town: About an hour outside Barcelona is the breathtakingly beautiful Benedictine retreat of Montserrat. Please note that overnight programs to Madrid & Toledo as well as Zaragoza and Mallorca, will appear in the Valencia Field Program listing. See some amazing pics in the Student Photo Gallery from 2013.

It is the capital of Catalunya and has its own language, distinct character, and turbulent history. After hosting the 1992 Summer Olympics, Barcelona has come into its own as one of Europe s most attractive and modern cities, most notably for its impressive architecture. This overview will whet your appetite and introduce you to the places you will most certainly want to come back to explore on your own during your time in Barcelona.

Raval has historical buildings such Gaudí's medievalist Palau Güell, modern museums like Richard Meier's monumental MACBA; futuristic buildings like Barceló hotel or hidden gems like the Hospital de la Santa Creu. But on the opposite site, Raval has been always the closest district to the port, that s why since the early beginning of the 19th Century; the downtown area of Raval has been associated with large-scale immigration, poverty, prostitution and other social problems.
