Barcelona, The historic Spanish city is full of life, Part 1
Contributed By Dennis Callan, World Traveler
A LONG the Mediterranean shore of eastern Spain lies Barcelona, one of the great cities of Europe, home to 4.2 million residents.
You can see the main attractions of this country’s second-largest city in just a few days by walking through its square-mile historic center. Be sure to see Barcelona’s most famous building, Sagrada Familia, the fantasy church designed by eccentric architectural genius Gaudi.
You’re likely to spend most of your time in the old section of town, called the Barri Gotic, or Gothic Quarter, a giant pedestrian zone dating to ancient times. This is perhaps the most extensive automobile-free district in Europe (except for Venice, which has no roads).

They wander, bend and curve like a maze, posing the traveler’s question, What’s next? View the Podcast on Barcelona below.
