			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Barcelona is unique in that it combines two excellent qualities of vacations that people look for in vacation destinations: spectacular beaches and that European city feel. Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain, and it is located right on the coast of the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. While it is heavily influenced by modernity, one can definitely still feel its more traditional undertones from its 2,000 year history. If you are thinking of visiting Barcelona, you will have to acquire a <a href="http://www.uspassportnow.com/" target='_blank'>passport</a> before you go.</p>
<p>If you go online to get your passport, not only will the entire process be easier, but you will get your passport quicker, too. Online passport expediting services are there for people who need their passport sooner than the traditional process allows, and they can get you your passport or passport replacement in anywhere from one day to two weeks, depending on how soon you need yours.</p>
<p>Barcelona is a city made up of many different districts, and each has its own very distinct feel. For example, Ciutat Vella is the &#8220;old town&#8221; district of Barcelona, where you can find Barri Gotic, or the Gothic Quarter, which features many Medieval buildings. Some of the buildings there even date back to Roman times. As a beautiful place simply to walk, it definitely grants a good feel of the Barcelona atmosphere. Las Ramblas, the most famous street in Barcelona, is also in Ciutat Vella. The atmosphere is colorful, with street performers and plenty of shopping. Eixample is another district, one that is famous for its art nouveau buildings. Gracia is a very diverse district, and Barceloneta is where you want to go for the beaches and seaside restaurants.</p>
<p>Tibidabo is a huge mountain to the north of the city from where you can look down and gain a spectacular view of the city. There is also a very beautiful church at the top of the mountain, and there is a legend that says the Devil tempted Jesus with a promise of the whole world. You can take a tram or walk, both are incredibly scenic and astoundingly beautiful. Montjuic is another place to visit in order to get a great view of the city, and it even has a cable car to take you to the top, which is fun in itself. Montserrat is another mountain that houses a famous monastery, and there are plenty of hiking trails as well.</p>
<p>Many of Barcelona&#8217;s attractions are within a few minutes&#8217; walk or ride of each other, and La Sagrada and Hospital de Sant Pau are an example of this. La Sagrada Familia is easily the most popular attraction within the city. It is a Roman Catholic Basilica that is actually unfinished; its architect died before the building could be completed. However, it has been declared that construction will finally be completed on the 100 year anniversary of the architect&#8217;s death. Hospital de Sant Pau is still a functioning hospital, but it is an excellent example of the modernist movement of Barcelona.</p>
<p>Depending on what sorts of things you like to do, there is plenty to grab your interest in Barcelona. Be sure to visit some of the famous art museums, including the Dali museum, and eat some famous Spanish food as well. The nightlife has a reputation for being excellent, and the beaches are a great place to soak up the sun. Just don&#8217;t forget your passport. Go online to get yours, where they can handle things like getting a <a href="http://www.uspassportnow.com/services/DamagedPassport" target='_blank'>U S passport replacement</a> or renewal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Preparing a voyage to the Catalan City may be hard &ndash; finding the time to list everything you would like to discover may be a complex job, not wanting to leave anything out. Kilometres of beaches, Gothic and Roman tradition, UNESCO world Heritage Places in addition to  typical food to delight the tourists can be only the start. If you are an fine art student or scholar, The catalonian capital has a lot to offer.</p>
<p>These are only a few of the big places Barcelona has to offer you. Finding time to get to know the metropolis will get you to certain spots you never believed existed. A brief vacation will for certain do you well, but on the contrary won&#8217;t make it enough to exhaust everything that the city has to suggest you. These spots are not only famed among travelers but also by the Spanish people themselves.</p>
<p>Catalan artist, Joan Miro has left his mark all around the metropolis, with the metropolis&#8217; airport giving you the initial illustration of the artist&#8217;s special approach with lively prime colors decorating the wall of passenger terminal 2. The artist has a painting on the cobblestones of Las Ramblas, and also a playground dedicated to his art with an colossal monument in the Sants district.

<p>The Fundacio Antoni Tapies is located at Eixample in a Domenech i Montaner designed building featuring a sculpture resting on the roof. Tapies was born in The catalonian capital in 1923 and is almost certainly the best Spanish artist to emerge ever since the Fifties. T&agrave;pies began as a surrealist visual artist although in a little while turned out to be an abstract expressionist, painting in a technique recognized as &#8220;Arte Povera&#8221;. In 1953 he commenced working in mixed media and was one of the first to generate important art in this way, adding up clay and marble dust to his art as well as incorporating discarded paper, rope, and rags in his art.</p>
<p>Museu Nacional d&#8217;Art de Catalunya is one of Spain&#8217;s large museums housing ancient, 19th and 20th century art from Catalonia. Housed in the notable Palau Nacional at the end of Montjuic, its Romanesque collection is said to be the world&#8217;s finest. There are some frescoes and Gothic pieces on the lives and deaths of saints &#8211; some are not for the timid. It is as well well-known for its Modernista exhibition.</p>
<p>Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art. This art museum comes in the 11th place in the attractiveness catalog in The catalonian capital. Its design  mostly deals with paintings by great painters of the 2nd half of 20th century. The collections here vary each couple of months and therefore it is advisable to complete a study on what is been exhibited in order to make your vacation there valuable for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Barcelona attracts a lot of young visitors with its vibrant nightlife.  The global crowd of visitors and scholars gives the town a worldly flavour, fuelling groovy dives and all night parties.  It&#8217;s got a reputation as a fiesta town for plenty of reasons.  So why not stay in <a href="http://www.oh-barcelona.com" target='_blank'>A Barcelona Apartment</a>?.  Here are 10 more highlights: </p>
<p>1.  Razzmatazz- One of the most well-liked clubs, Razzmatazz is at the very top of the indie scene in Barcelona.  Bands like The Killers and Kasabian play regularly, and on an off night they still have great rock, pop, electro and punk tunes playing in their 3 different rooms.  Found on Pamplona 88 in the Poble Nou district, Razzmatazz is open weekends from one a.m.  To 5 a.m.  </p>
<p>2.  Moog- found in the Gothic Quarter and decorated to match its surroundings, Moog&#8217;s economic look combined with its fashionable crowd and techno beats make for a long night of dancing and drinking.  Moog is found at Arc de Teatre 3, open everyday midnight &#8211; 5 a.m.  </p>
<p>3.  Elephant- One of the more upscale clubs in Barcelona, this spot is used by the hippest of the trend-setters.  Dress to electrify or you may get turned away at the door.  Found at Passage del Tillers in la Zona Universitaria, open Thurs-Sat 11-30 p.m.  To 5 a.m.  </p>
<p>4.  Pacha- Named after its sister club in Ibiza, the Barcelona version doesn&#8217;t disappoint, tempting world famous DJs and hip crowds.  Dress code- no sneakers.  Located at Av.  Doctor Maranon, open midnight &#8211; 6 a.m.  </p>
<p>5.  Otto Zutz- Great music and a rather more mature crowd make this place a durable favourite.  The club is found at the Carrer de Lincoln, at Fontana and is open midnight &#8211; 5 a.m.  </p>
<p>6.  Sutton- if you are feeling overwhelmed by the young and fashionable, perhaps the older crowd at this relaxed club will ease your nerves.  To be found at Calle Tuset thirteen and is open from eleven p.m.  &#8211; 3 a.m.  </p>
<p>7.  Piratas- No tour of Barcelona&#8217;s nightlife would be acceptable without seeing the sight that is Piratas.  If you&#8217;re up for an escapade then you must see this show on Calle Muntanya and open weekends from midnight &#8211; 6 a.m.  </p>
<p>8.  Bikini- Playing hip hop, house and funk in a cool, casual venue, it attracts quality performers and a wide-ranging crowd.  The club is at Deu i Mata 105, at Entenca, open from midnight &#8211; 5 a.m.  </p>
<p>9.  Baja Beach Club- found on the beach, the atmosphere is suitably casual but that doesn&#8217;t stop anyone from boogying till sunrise.  You will find this club at Paseo Maritimo 34 open from 10.30 p.m.  To 5 a.m.  </p>
<p>10.  Jamboree- found in the plaza Real, this small hideout offers something different to the common techno-pumping clubs, with live music earlier and hip hop played after the sets.  Open 11-00 p.m.  &#8211; 5 a.m.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the huge urban operation that the global Exposition of Barcelona 1929 represented, the Council made a decision to build a great sporting venue for the town which would add weight in convincing the global Olympic board and, specifically, Baron Pierre de Coubertin that Barcelona intended to organise, with well set up desires, the olympic games.  Thus the Stadium of Montjuic was born.  After years of neglect and decline the stadium was redecorated to become the core of the olympic games in 1992.  Thousands of athletes from each part of the World landed in the <a href="http://www.oh-barcelona.com/fr/blog/2009/guide-touristique/transport/aeroport-barcelone-465" target='_blank'>Aeroport Barcelone</a> and provided a huge show in the Olympic Stadium.</p>
<p>In the eighties the organizing Committee of Barcelona 92 held a global architecture competition to undertake the task of reconstructing the stadium.  The firm of designers Correa-Mil-Margarit-Buixad was selected to design the management plan for Montjuc, which included the restoration of the stadium.  The Italian designer, Vittorio Gregotti, also worked next to the Catalan architects.  </p>
<p>Montjuic was fully stripped and the key facade was the only part of the stadium to get left intact.  The capacity was increased to 45,000 and the area around the stadium was made into a ring full of sporting facilities that made the olympic games of Barcelona such a success.  <br />The price of the work reached 8,500 million pesetas at the time, with the stadium being equipped with the most modern fittings available, which can accommodate any type of world athletics competition or other events.  </p>
<p>Presently the Olympic Stadium of Montjuic, whose official title is the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium of Montjuc, is a modern stadium in full use which is regarded as a 5 star stadium by the Union of european football Associations ( UEFA ).  Just two other stadiums in Spain have this ranking : Vicente Caldern and Camp Nou, the official stadium of the FC Barcelona which attracts each year thousands of tourists who make a long <a href="http://www.oh-barcelona.com/fr/blog" target='_blank'>Voyage Barcelone</a> in order to see it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Take a trip to Barcelona, in Spain, for a unique cultural and historical experience. It is a burning, vibrant city at once tightly grounded in its abundant heritage and looking to the future. A trip to Barcelona promises an eclectic palette. <br />The second biggest city in Spain, Barcelona is situated in the north-eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula bordering the Mediterranean Sea. <br />As you journey to Barcelona, it is fascinating to know that the city has its roots in a Roman colony modelled way back in the 2nd century B.C. <br />If you are a music maniac, Music Palace certainly awaits your voyage. An elegant colourful structure, this Music Palace is one of the world&#8217;s most extraordinary music halls and an epitome of Modernistic Structure. When you travel to Barcelona in Spain, allow music be your Muse. The SONAR and the Primavera music festivals are treats for the ears.<br />But the cr&egrave;me la cr&egrave;me of your travel to Barcelona in Spain has to be a excursion to Gaudi&#8217;s masterpiece, the unfinished &#8220;La Sagrada Familia&#8221;. Its towering spires shape one of the most known international attractions. &#8220;La Pedrera&#8221;, a joint apartment and office block is an additional Gaudi phenomenon with its distinctive crimped design and multihued pipe pots. <br />There are also plenty of <a href="http://www.oh-barcelona.com" target='_blank'>Cheap Barcelona Hotels</a> to enjoy your stay in the heart of the city. <br />It is spot on that Barcelona merits a voyage by point of its spectacular architecture only. But its parks are worth a trip too. The Pedralbes Royal Palace backyards is an sanctuary of splendor with its superb plants, as are the &#8220;Jardins Moss&egrave;n Costa i Llobera&#8221; and the &#8220;Jardins Moss&egrave;n Cinto Verdaguer&#8221;, atop the Montju&iuml;c hill and the &#8220;Park de la Ciudadella&#8221;. <br />&#8220;Park G&uuml;ell&#8221;, designed by Gaudi, is still the pick of the lot. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this park has earned the tags of surrealistic, expressionist and modernist and can unquestionably form one of the highpoints of your travel to Barcelona in Spain. <br />After you have soaked in the architectural splendours during your travel to Barcelona, turn to the other Barcelona attractions. Few popular beaches around the city border are &#8220;Nova Icaria&#8221;, &#8220;Bogatell&#8221;, &#8220;Barceloneta&#8221; and the &#8220;Mar Bella&#8221;, Barcelona&#8217;s sole naturist beach. There are scores of <a href="http://www.oh-barcelona.com" target='_blank'>Hotels Barcelona</a> to unwind in around the area. <br />Metropolitan Park of Collserola, the &#8220;Sant Lloren&ccedil;&#8221; and the Montseny natural parks will urge to all nature lovers with their rare flora specimens, wildlife and beautiful scenery. There are two historic Benedictine monasteries, one of them constructed by the first sovereign count of Catalonia. <br />These Barcelona landmarks lie on the outskirts of the city but are worth a journey while you are touring Barcelona. <br />The largest aquarium in Europe, &#8220;L&#8217;Aqu&agrave;rium&#8221; and &#8220;Universal&#8217;s Mediterranea&#8221;, an unmatched amusement park on the Impressionist style are the other Barcelona attractions of note. <br />For a soccer  fanatic, a trip to the &#8220;Barcelona FC&#8221;, base for the &#8220;La Liga&#8221; team is almost an obligation while on a travel to Barcelona.<br />With the excessof stuff to do in Barcelona, you will find your days go rapid shops selling the whole lot from designer clothing to art and antiques, cafes dishing out the choicest tapas and a energetic night life. <br />The Barcelona facts point to a city that is a special mix of the old and the new.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are countless thousands of brilliant shops to peruse in Barcelona.  However , the task of searching through them all can be pretty daunting.  To lead you in the right path, and to make your trip rather more manageable, we have selected the 5 top locations to shop so you can make the maximum of your time and find that perfect item you are looking for.  </p>
<p>1.  Paseo de Gracia : <br />This famous street is also known locally as Passeig de Gracia, and boasts some of the most expensive shops in Barcelona.  Noted for its famous modernist design, this street runs from plaza Catalunya to the metro Diagonal.  You will find many famous names here, including Gucci, Desigual, DG, Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik, and also a number of top restaurants  and bars to refresh you when you&#8217;re uninterested in shopping.  Those searching for world famous brands and pure luxury will be happy here, but be in a position to use your Mastercard and spend unreservedly since this area is for upscale shopping, and the prices reflect it.  </p>
<p>2.  Portal de LAngel : <br />If you are right in the center of Barcelona, then this is a pedestrian highway in the Ciutat Vella ( downtown ) district beginning at square Catalunya and running to the cathedral.  You&#8217;ll find the dep. store El Cortes Ingls at its start and the street also boasts names like Benetton, Massimo Dutti, Camper, HM and Zara.  This street offers more cost effective brands and its target market is a younger crowd, so if you are searching for the latest fashion trends at a fair price you should come straight here.  </p>
<p>3.  La Rocca village : <br />La Roca hamlet outlet is situated in the village of the same name that is off Junction twelve of the A7 motorway.  You can also get a bus from Fabra I Puig metro in the Sant Andreu district or a train from Sants Station.  It&#8217;s definitely worth the time taken to get here because you will find top designer outlets at nearly 60% off and some of the best shopping therapy in the world.  Being an outlet, it also has a Rebaixes period ( seasonal sales ) held in July and January when well known luxury brands are sold at a deal costs.  </p>
<p>4.  Diagonal Mar : <br />This area offers a substantial number of Barcelona shopping stores, theatres, cafes and other facilities, as would be predicted of one of Barcelona&#8217;s latest shopping centres.  Open from 10 am to 10 pm, you can shop here night and day.  Good for family shopping.  </p>
<p>5.  L&#8217;Illa : <br />Situated by the corner of Avinguda Diagonal 555-559 and Carrer de Constana, L&#8217;Illa is a shopping mall that offers more than 170 shops and cafes, including Benetton, Diesel and Zara.  It is easiest to get the Tombus, or circuit bus, beginning at square Catalunya and goes on to stop at 28 locations.  This distinctive blue bus will drop you off at Diagonal and Paseo de Gracia allowing you hop on and off for your shopping.  When it turns left on Diagonal, wait till it reaches L&#8217;Illa and then get off.  The benefit of this big shopping center is you can find mid-priced and famous brands like Zara, Mango, etc, as well as little, unique boutiques with more exclusive models all in the same place.  </p>
