Enjoying Barcelona Paintings And Other Attractions

By Jayne Rutledge


In Spain there are a great number of interesting cities, but Barcelona is perhaps one of the most-loved of all because it is filled with modern and historical attractions. Vacationers can spend their time here viewing magnificent Barcelona paintings at the art galleries of Galeria D'Art Manuel Barbie, Galeria Brok, the Francisco Godia Foundation and several others, or by enjoying the architecture of some of the city's famous buildings. There are plenty of modern attractions too.

The places of art in this city are well-known and visited often by tourists. They have displays of pottery and sculptures, in addition to their paintings, and visitors can even buy antique furniture at the Galeria Brok. This gallery can be found at Pau Claris 167. The galleries are open on weekdays, from the morning till evening, and many of them open on Saturdays too. However, their times can differ, therefore it is best to get advice from a tourist center first.

Many of the main attractions are within walking distance, and therefore walking tours are available for tourists. They are nice because they are led by an English guide who is knowledgeable regarding the history of the sights. It is best to book a walking tour early, from one of the tourist offices. You will find the main place of information in the Placa Catalunya.

If the thought of walking is not appealing, the buses are a good alternative. Tourist buses drive a continuous route past many of the city's main attractions, and their passengers can hop off to spend some time at one location and hop back on when they are ready to move on to the next. The tourist office can give you the hours that the buses will be available, and you will have to pay for tickets.

The architecture of some of the buildings in the city have been influenced by Gaudi, a well-known person in Spain's rich history of artists and architects. His buildings include the Casa Vincens and the La Sagrada Familia as well as several others. The Parc Guell is another place of Gaudi, with the Hundred Columns Room. Parc Guell is considered a UNESCO world heritage site.

The whole family will enjoy a day at the L'Aquarium or the zoo of the city. The aquarium is a particularly interesting place with its transparent building. Marine life of all varieties live here, including sharks, and the sea life center has a play area for children. The zoo has more than seven thousand animals, but often the favorite is Snowflake, an albino gorilla.

Further attractions include the beaches along the shore and the Olympic Port. The beach area runs for almost two miles in length, and there are amenities for swimmers nearby. At the Olympic Port, tourists can relax at restaurants, nightclubs and bars, or enjoy one of the many other forms of entertainment available at this location.

The Museo Picasso is perhaps one of the best places to view Barcelona paintings. It has the works of the famous artist Picasso, including some of his ceramic works. Furthermore, you could stop along the Ramblas de Canaletes, where kiosks sell newspapers from all different countries.
