Things to do in Barcelona, Catalonia: The Best Sights & Landmarks
Barcelona feels a bit surreal – appropriate, since Salvador Dali spent time here and Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí designed several of the city’s buildings. Stepping into Gaudí’s Church of the Sacred Family is a bit like falling through the looking glass - a journey that you can continue with a visit to Park Güell. Sip sangria at a sidewalk café in Las Ramblas while watching flamboyant street performers, then create your own moveable feast by floating from tapas bar to tapas bar.

Ride to the top, and you'll see! The Columbus Monument which was dedicated in 1888 as part of the ceremonies marking the Universal Exhibition, stands at the end of La Rambla of Barcelona, near the sea. Take the lift inside the column to the viewing gallery at the top, a viewpoint 60 meters above the ground, where you can enjoy great views of Barcelona.

The schooner Santa Eulalia is a 100-year-old sailing ship that forms part of the fleet of the Maritim Museum of Barcelona. It was one of the last sailing ships to transport goods throughout the Mediterranean. Today, it is an essential item of heritage for anyone interested in understanding our country’s maritime history. In 2011 the Generalitat de Catalunya declared the vessel an Item of National Cultural Interest (BCIN). It now functions as an ambassador for the museum, the city and the country, participating in seagoing cultural events. The Santa Eulalia is moored at Moll de la Fusta in Barcelona’s Port Vell, very near to the Maritim Museum . The ship can be visited every day, while on Saturday mornings visitors can take a trip out on the schooner and sail along Barcelona’s seafront.

MIRAESTELS, a floating icon, becomes guardian of the waters. With its watchful presence, it urges us to care for and respect the sea, the origin of known life. And it does so in the Mediterranean of encounters among ancient peoples, a sea of legends, history and culture, all of which today, cruelly punished by our excesses, is in serious danger and sends out a cry for help. MIRAESTELS staring into heaven indicate a double vigilance. From there come the great questions and great answers; no wonder the contemplation of the celestial vault has been the main engine of scientific knowledge. Science continues to declare this: our future demands reserved areas to continue studying the stars and the cosmos away from light pollution. MIRAESTELS from Robert Llimós, painter and sculptor from Barcelona, he is an excellent product of the Academy who has gone through all the avant-garde to return to the origins: painting or depicting what is seen rather than what is felt.
