Barcelona Province
Centred on Barcelona, it packs in Gaudí's architecture, Mediterranean beaches and the sacred mountain of Montserrat.
Barcelona Province lies in central Catalonia, on the Mediterranean. The provincial capital, Barcelona, has Gaudí's Sagrada Família, Casa Milà and Park Güell, as well as the Gothic Quarter, La Rambla and city beaches. Nearby, Montserrat Monastery sits among distinctive jagged peaks, the seaside town of Sitges is popular for its old town and beaches, and inland you will find Romanesque monasteries and the Penedès wine region. Spring and autumn are best for city trips, and summer for the coast. Barcelona–El Prat Airport is the main gateway, and high-speed rail links to Madrid and France.
