Barcelona holidays

As both a cultural destination and for sunshine Barcelona is perfect and with dozens of flights from the UK to Barcelona, the city is ideal for spending a long weekend.

After spending a day seeing the architecture of Gaudí, wandering around the narrow streets of the old town, or just walking down Las Ramblas to the port, you can still find time to sit outside one of the numerous cafes that are so crucial to daily life in Barcelona for a coffee or refreshing beer.
