When it comes to taking a European city break there are fewer places that can provide the diversity that Barcelona can. Of course Spain’s 2nd largest city is huge – that probably goes without saying, but just how big is it? Well, if you measured it purely by the number of people that live there then it’s a whopping 5 Million big!
However, most people who choose to come to beautiful Barcelona probably aren’t looking to go around counting how many people they bump into, in fact quite the opposite, as it is very easy to find yourself in a quiet area of this city freely admiring some of the magnificent architecture that is on show. Some of the historic buildings that can be seen include the likes of the Cathedral of Saint Eulalia, which dates back to around the 13th century when most of the construction work was carried out. Just viewing this building from the outside, it is easy to spot because there are rows of gargoyles adorning the roof area and this of course makes a terrific photo opportunity. It is also of note that the body of Saint Eulalia is entombed here.
