    Yes apart from the beaches and the good weather as you said, Barcelona has one more important thing: A very good management. I think is one of the best cities which the tourism is managed pretty well. This is very important and since 1992 (olimpic games) Barcelona has grown is all contexts.

    Probably is one of the most touristic cities in Europe and offering a really nice quality/price relation. Moreover the city is always updated and offering all kind of concerts,events,expositions,,,

    Don’t you think the same?I love it, jaja
